Ah french... the language where you need to be a good mathematician just to be able to speak their numbers. LOL

Quatre vingt dix neuf... that's how you say 99. Absolutely insane. For anyone wondering, that phrase (which is just about a god damn sentence lol) is essentially saying 4 x 20 + 10 +9. And that's 99. LOL

We Belgian folk were too lazy for that shit so we made up words for those numbers lmao.

90 -> Nonante
70--> Septante.

Perhaps, there are words similar to us and the way they speak is also the same as ours.

I mean we were a colony for few centuries

Philippines? I forget where you're from but I know their language has a lot from spanish. xD I used to work with Pinoys quite a bit xD

 

[Guren]

So 99 is simply Nonante-neuf.

I hate the french language (sorry Cross xD)... but at some point I had to be able to say prices and discounts in like 8 languages, hence why I can count in french... but nothing else. I would never wanna learn that language lol.

Yeah from there. Actually, mi abuela was half spanish and mi mama used to study and speak some. Both were equally lazy to teach us. And I wasn't that interested back then.

French is really hard. Will all the rules of grammar. Nowadays most of the people my age, can’t speak correctly at all.

Especially when you got to conjugate verbs into tenses that don't exist in Dutch.

Lmao, this thread got somewhat derailed for a little while I see xD


Heh, I had the option to learn Spanish or French in middle school... I picked my own damn language cause that was the easiest xD

In French you have to specify most things. A worm is either « Ver de Terre » but if it’s the body you will have to add the location after « Ver ». ‍‍‍

French is hard but fun tho

Love their accent tho..it sounds romantic unlike Russian, it always sounds like a threat.

Typical kid. Lol
What's ur native tongue?

 

[Beerbottle]

I bet my own language can be a pain to learn as well. We have so many dialects its hilarious xD

Though writing can be a bit more simplified, cause we have something that we call "book language"

Now that's a language I love

 

[Gambit]

Hmm. we can perhaps have a language exchange thread.

 

[Beerbottle]

Not that it makes much sense if you don't know the language

But in "book language" "Happy Birthday" is written "Gratulerer med dagen"
In my own dialect its closer to "Grattis mæ daen" xD

You and I have a different definition to the word fun.
