Jake - it seems the French in Quebec has diverged quite a bit from French French, which reminds me of the French spoken in the south of Belgium, where they've also made their own little changes.

One think I just adore about Belgian French is that they took the time to tidy up the numbers, so for 70 they say septant instead of the insane French thing of saying "sixty and 10", they also have Octant and Nonant instead of the French thing for saying "4 times twenty" and "four times 20 and 10". Are there any similar improvements in Quebec?

No because although we do speak a very altered French in Quebec we are a very very very traditional French nation and therefore we are not going to change the numbering. In the famous "La dictée de Bernard Pivot" which is one of the most grammatical French event world wide, nonante, septante, octante were not accepted as French words since they have no historical value... therefore they are very own by the Belgian vocabularies.

The French Academy of Quebec in alliance to The French Academy, we francisize pretty much everything; therefore a "hot-dog" is literally a "chien (dog)-chaud (hot)", hamburger is "hambougeois"

Remember Westminster in England, well Queen Isabelle of France (queen of Edward II of England, yes the very very gay dude LOL) couldn't say the word Westminster and she said Westmoutier instead, so in French history books, the Abbye of Westminster = L'Abbaye de Westmoutier

Actually GB you'd be quite surprise that Quebec's French is closest to the old French than what the Parisian speaks... we speak an altered version of " La langue of Oc" which is the region close to Marseille. Parisian French is just like Belgium French a self-dialect it can not be considered as the authority of French which differ extremely from the International French that I teach :cheers:

Here's another wonderful Irish expression to add to the mix. It has to be my absolute favourite way to insult someone:

Go bpléaschacht do chác thú

It literally means, may your shit explode you

Would you provide a bit of phonetics on that one please, Bart?

In Ireland, the name we have for the native language of this island is "Irish", but for some reason Americans insist on re-naming our language to Gaelic. If you come to visit Ireland, best not call it Gaelic, it's Irish!

Noted but I believe Gaelic is more Scottish right? Although they don't like us to say that word eitheir, my best friend she's from Glascow and I've learn some of their expressions which I can't write at all LOL

Well - there are a number of celtic languages, the main ones are spoken in:
1) Brittany in France
2) Cronwall in the south of England
3) Wales
4) Ireland (though only really in a few regions now)
5) Scotland

Those celtic languages are broken into two groups, P-celtic and Q-celtic, I can never remember which is which, but the welsh speak one, and the Irish and Scots speak the other. So, yes, the celtic language in Scotland is a lot like Irish, but they are far from the same. While Welsh is very very different to Irish.

Hope that makes some sense.

Understand this... I went in Ireland in the 90 and I was indeed corrected However Gaelic, is just the language classification, therefore; Scottish and Irish are considered Gaelic/Celtic languages, Germans & English is Bavarian, french, Spanish, Portuguese are romantic Latin

Indeed Celtic make more sense than Gaelic thanks for the correction

Let's check out some pronunciation in French

Let's start with the Vowels

[a] as in hat
[ay] as in say
[aw] as in saw
[e] as in get
[ee] as in bee
[î] as in Hi! - yes note that this i with two dots are not pronunced the same as the regular i
as in kit
[0] as in go
[00] as in too
[ew] for the fabulous French u as in tu; to achieve this sound, say "ee" while rounding your lips.
[oy] as in joy
as in but
[uu] as in good
[uh] this sounds like [uu] and [ew] said quickly one after the other and blended together

Now for the Consonants;

[n] as in win
[j] a soft j sound, similar to the s in leisure
[r] there are two r sounds in Quebec: the rolled r and the Parisian-style r gras-sayé; for beginners, the English r will do just fine as in sun
[z] as in zest

Nasal sound

[ñ] represent the French nasal sound as found at the end of bon and vin - similar to the nasal sound in the English "un hun" (yes).

Question for JakeToronto.

I've asked this question of a cycling bud from Lewiston Maine, a town with a huge Quebecois immigrant population and the french traditions/language run strong. What is the translation of 'Casse Crout'? Those are the roadside food stands where you can get poutine and such. My bud said it means exactly that, roadside stand, there is no literal translation.
.
.
Btw, I love poutine, there is one place near my house which makes it but badly. Not like in Quebec.

 

[Whisper]

The good part with having sex at Alex's parents is that Alex gets so horny knowing that his mom could walk in anytime or that someone wakes up he's climaxing within minutes it took only approximately 40 minutes for him to jizz this time and now he can go back to sleep like a cute little angel with stainless steel wings :rofl:


He wasn't cranky he was actually playing with his dick on the bed behind me and when I stopped a moment to go pee he jumped on the laptop and wrote what you've just read LOL... he's a very playful little dude and very hard to resist when he's like that.


Oh he got it alright and for once he has been able to control his moaning

and now he's sitting calmly reading a book I give him 15 minutes before he fall asleep- that's Alex 101 for you

He seems to know how to get you attention
... is he still awake or did it take 15 minutes to fall asleep?

This expression was coined around 1871 and it means: "to eat" [manger] – literally we translate it as "breaking (casser) the crust (croute)".



Now here is the etymology of the word:


The actual term is "casser la croute" which is the infinitive form of "casse-croute", therefore in the 18th century, "casser la croute" meant to share your bread with someone (have lunch with him/her).


Initially "bread" [pain] was largely refer as the act of having lunch or dinner. While "casser" refer to the ideology that if one breaks the crust it would be easier to eat and digest, then chew, then swallow.


Those two words paired together became "casse-croute" which is a synonym of eating [manger].

Also take in consideration that "casser la croute" in French now refer to a quick fix, not a complete meal.

So tell your buddy that he's wrong... it is a road side stand but that's not what "casse-croute" means

By the way the secret of poutine is the sauce... and you can try as much as you want to mimic it you'll never be able to get close to it LOL... I know how to make the sauce and from region to region the recipe changes slightly but still have pretty much similar taste. :cheers:
