Some reasons why the French language is the worst...

Ach,luckily,despite being total nonsense,we have the chance to have a beautiful language. Unlike our poor German neighbours. Every German word sounds like a call to war. :enjoy: @SMS Derfflinger

4 times 20 plus 10 plus 7 just to say 97? What the hell. Like @Hamartia Antidote said, lets just listen to French and not bother how it is constructed.
 
My American professors used to make fun of how French take their culture so seriously and how they think of it so highly.

French language is alright. Nothing special. French culture is a big deal if you compare it to uncultured trash called American culture. However, French culture is nothing special compared to countries with actual centuries old culture and traditions like Pakistan etc.

No idea what she is saying but she says it so nice and smooth. No harsh pronunciations. We should all ditch English and switch to French.

I like french though. Every language has foibles and idiosyncrasies etc.

Like qu'est-ce que c'est in that list.....you just know how to say it without thinking about each word, becomes its own word (keskuhsay) pretty much. If you make it simple like qu'est ce (for argument sake), there is problem in that it doesn't sound very distinct in sentence and it becomes more inefficient language probably.
 
I was told that Ananas is french word for pineapple . I thought its " Urdu" word for pine apple

You mean Indian Culture...
That might have been a big deal a couple of thousand years ago.
Not really worth mentioning compared to France for the last 400 years.

do you want to be kicked right on the nuts again?
 
 
@Vergennes the language might be funny, but the cuisine is something to die for. You are talking with someone who bakes croissants, pat brisee from scratch. I have also make Potato and Leek soup and Cream of Mushroom soup.

Numbers are easy. However,things get complicated from 70. Soixante-dix (60+10)

Numbers were the hardest to learn :-(
The alphabet 'r' required a throat clearing sound to pronounce correctly :D
Even to this day

As expected, a dumb European will bring up hurr durr like this.

We are talking about language, culture, and so on. Nobody talked about political institutions and scientific advancement etc.

My point was about French being proud of their (social) culture...as in, their everyday culture. Their language, dressing, societal norms, marriage, cuisine, family, music, and blah blah blah.

That is where it is utterly hilarious to see French taking pride. Yeah, it might be a bit better than trash called American culture of today---but French culture is sh*t as it comes. Again, talking about social culture here.

Pakistan's culture outperforms French in many, many aspects (and vice versa, offcourse).

Hell, majority of children in France are born out of wedlock. So basically lowly bastards :lol: Yeah much wow, so much 'culture' and civilization. Loool! French food is average at best. And yes, I am talking about FRENCH FOOD in France (well to be honest I had it in Paris. But that counts?).

Pakistani cuisine is far superior, Pakistan's clothing styles are far more diverse and colorful, Pakistan's family culture is significantly better where our girls don't whore themselves around and produce babies willy nilly, and I can go on and on. Our language, Urdu, is beautiful and poetic. And going by this thread, definitely not limited and shitty like French. Tradition and heritage is valued and lived throughout our land unlike in France.

France have better institutions, education/science, influence, and all that. But then again, nobody is in dispute with that to begin with.

In term of social culture, French are below average..just like almost all of West. If we take culture to be achievements, education, scientific advancements, military power, and yada yada---well, then U.S culture is supreme and nobody even comes slightly close...

The techniques of French Cuisine cover almost every other cuisine in the world. If you are a good French Chef, you will excel when learning a new cuisine because you will be able to appreciate the technical differences. Come out of your bubble.
 
I was pretty offended by this thread until I saw it was @Vergennes who posted it. :enjoy:
