>french is a beautiful language
Why did the frogs tried to meme this absolute delusion into existence?
Their africanized language is easily the worst and ugliest sounding most guttural latin variant

Compared to what? Spanish lol? When I hear Spanish, I immmediately think of poverty

>>213379620 (OP)
J’aime le français mais à mon avis, je crois toujours que l’occitan est plus beau.

Spanish sounds way too energetic for my tastes. It’s as if hispanophones are all on speed o algo. At least the pacing of French is similar to English. Plus, over half of our vocabulary is French

>>213379961
>At least the pacing of French is similar to English
No it isn't

>>213380031
Just a little faster

>>213379773
he said "ugliest"
so campred to everything
learn english first before typing, cletus

>>213380104
Where does Portuguese fall? It doesn’t sound anywhere near as fast as Spanish (at least from my interactions with Brazilians here)

>>213379961
>J’aime le français mais à mon avis, je crois toujours que l’occitan est plus beau.
le francais écrit est beau, mais la prononciation ? c'est juste comme le créole haitien, au moins le créole écrit est honnete

C’est drôle qu’on a emprunté des mots français mais refusé d’utiliser des diacritiques (à l’exception de quelque mots comme “naïveté”, “fiancée”, “éclaircissement”, etc).

I dunno, probably between french and italian. Compared to Spanish, our words are usually shorter and more contracted. Our sentences are also stress-timed. So we don't need to speak as fast to say the same stuff in the same time
>La mano de nuestra hermana es pequeña comparada con la de esta chica.
>A mão da nossa irmã é pequena comparada à dessa moça

>>213381028
I wonder if argentinian is somehow affected by portuguese.
We use "vos" instead of "tu"

For example
"Tu eres de mexico"
Here would be
"Vos sos de mexico"

I suppose in portuguese its voce seu da mexico or something?

>africanized
More like Germanicized. That's why it's so different to Spanish and Portuguese and Italian, which are like neo-Latin.
But it really does sound beautiful.
Due to things like liaison, and the disconnect between how people write and how they talk in real life, it strikes me as a language best learned primarily aurally.
>>213381134
Vos comes from Spanish. In Spanish, it used to be that vos was the plural second person pronoun, and it later became a way to respectfully address a single person. Vosotros and usted/ustedes came later ("usted" actually comes from a shortening of "vuestra merced").
But the use of vos as a second person singular pronoun only survived in some places in South America, it seems like.

>>213381134
In Brazil some regions prefer tu for familiar people and others prefer você.

Você é do México.
Tu é do México. *(It "should" be tu és do México according to official grammar)

They speak like they had a potato or were in the middle of a blowjob with their african bulls. I hate the retards who memed this shit into high class "language of love" faggotry

>>213381268
Oh and that's also where the different conjugations come from. It used to be "Vos sodes". In Spain, this became "vosotros sois" and in Latin America it was "vos sos".
"Vos cantades" became "vos(otros) cantáis/cantás".
"Salides" became "salís" in both Spain and places with voseo.
The intervocalic d was lost in all cases.

>>213381134
Wasn’t the Rioplantense accent influenced by Portuguese?

Verbs like llorar and llamar sound identical to “chorar” and “chamar”

>>213381268
>("usted" actually comes from a shortening of "vuestra merced").
This is the same etymology of você in Portuguese. It's a short for vossa mercê.

There is a case in Portuguese in which the plural second person (vós) is used in the place of the singular second person but we only find it in the bible. It's too respectful

>>213381392
I often forget spaniards speak in "vosotros", they kinda dont do that as much anymore i think. Here it is reserved for what we would see as old spanish or maybe some sort of formal ebviroment but more rarely so.

>>213381457
It could be, uruguay was in fact a portuguese colony originally.
And buenos aires received a major migratory pulse from galicia
Which whike not necessarily oortguese often resembled so.
My grandmother for example was from galicia and she would often pull galician words
Which seemed to use a lot of ñ and ç from what i recall

French is beautiful only when ladies speak it. Men sound gay.

>>213381677
Men only sounds good in French, Japanese, and sometimes English but it dépends
Other languages sound funny

>>213381988
French is easily my favorite Romance language (next to Provençal) but some words you guys use just sound so fucking gay.

>Coucou
>Oh La-la
>Nounours
>Doudou
>Bougnoule

People that don't even have a language of their own should not be allowed to comment on languages.

>>213382101
The first four are only used by kids or women.

>>213382225
But enough about the gauls

>>213379620 (OP)
the nicest language to hear is italian
the second nicest language to hear is french
the second worst language to hear is spanish
and the worst language to hear is english spoken by an ESL

>>213381988
What does English even sound like to Frogs that aren’t fluent? Is it weird to hear so many French words?

My impression is that most people liked French in the past, or at least didn't hate it, but then crusty-ass boomers managed to become cool with neurotic zoomers who picked up on liking French apparently being gay, and it stopped being cool to like.

Like, people from my grandpa's generation (I'm pretty old) all seemed to love French.

>>213382101
>>Coucou
Only used by women (or horny men trying to look vulnerable to gain a woman's trust)
>>Oh La-la
No one says that
>>Nounours
Not a real word, you duplicate the syllable to sound childish
>>Doudou
Same
>>Bougnoule
I don't get it

>>213382522
I took Spanish two years of Spanish in High school, and I could never embrace it. It’s certainly the most practical language to learn here, but it sounds so intense and fully of energy.

This is how I would rank Romance languages:
1. French
2. Portuguese
3. Italian
4. Spanish

I don’t really know what Romanian sounds like, and I don’t care enough to put meme Romance languages like Catalan or Corsican

>>213382522
Some brit accents are pure sex

>>213382741
Don’t most French accents more or less sound the same. From what I’ve been told, only Québécois sound different

>>213382725
I am just joking really if you want the actual worst language you'll have to go to the shitholes of the world

>>213382741
not mine I sound like a rural retard lol

>>213382611
The rhythm and intonation people speak French now and the way they used to speak it 100 years ago are very different. That may be one of the reason.

>>213382581
It sounds weird when you have French words as is, e.g. rendezvous. It sounds as you're speaking French but with your American accent, which, in a way, is exactly what it is. Does it sound special to you too ?

>>213382849
No for example I'm from the souf east, we add e in between letters (pneu is pronounced peneu), we sometimes pronounce the silent ending one, è becomes é, our o is always open
It's hard to get for a FSL though

>>213382975
Most Americans don’t realize the extent of how much of our vocabulary is French. For example, the Ozarks (a huge region in state of Missouri) was taken from Americans trying to pronounce “aux arcs”.

We aren’t really taught about the Norman conquest of England (or really any European history) and just how much French influenced the English language.

>>213382849
This actor is known in France for his accent from the Grenoble area

>>213382975
There’s also a fuck ton of false cognates (you call them faux amis IIRC) between our languages . If you said “blesser”, an English speaker would probably think it as a benediction, not an injury

>>213383169
Tbf, most French people have no idea how much our language influenced English.
I had no idea about Ozarks, that's interesting.

>>213382975
It's because they stress French words on the last syllable to "sound French" even if we don't stress our words, and English words are never stressed on the last syllable
They do the same with French surnames

>>213379620 (OP)
Sad to see that even our fellow latin speaking cousins hate us while we have never done anything to them (Well at least regarding Argentina).

>>213383372
I’m from Missouri. There was a dialect of French called Paw-Paw spoken not too far from St Louis. Not sure if it’s extinct or not. Most people in Missouri have no idea that we were once part of French Louisiana or that our city was named after Louis IX

I hate it as well.
When I was a kid I had a classmate who chose to study French instead of Japanese and I asked him why and he replied that it was because French was the language of love.
I hate the reputation the French language has.
Yes I like the French language, yes French has the greatest literary canon of any language, yes France has the greatest history of all countries but when people rave about the French language they're usually doing it from a position of ignorance which is no praise at all, instead it's an insult.

>>213385572
That reputation has not been attributed by ourselves in a pretentious way, but by Foreigners that went here and were apparently satisfied.

>>213386130
I agree.
So many people claim to love France but their engagement with France is flying to Paris occasionally, eating croissants (always making sure to pronounce it in the French way instead of the English way) and having seen Amélie and Intouchables.

>>213382975
>It sounds weird when you have French words as is, e.g. rendezvous. It sounds as you're speaking French but with your American accent, which, in a way, is exactly what it is.
Had an experience like this the other day. There were two Russian blokes that got on and sat across from me (at the station right next to the army barracks, mind you -- so make of that what you will), and every so often in their conversation they'd seamlessly weave in some English word or phrase which would make me do a double-take.

>>213379773
spanish isnt that bad but personally my favourite is by far portuguese portuguese although I also like the brazilian variant. But portuguese in portugal actually sounds cool and masculine whereas as most latin lagnuages tend to sound feminine in my ears, (no offence southern bros)

>>213379961
English vocabulary is English, retard

wish they would've taught us something useful in school like japanese. insane that this completely useless language is still mandatory

>>213387333

Italians love France. I’ve heard of Italian women going to France and French women going to Italy just for each others men. The men too in lesser fashion.
