en effet lol, a chaque fois qu'on me demande mon nom, le monde est toujours comme "HEEEIN Celine comme Celine Dion!!" -____- comme si jle savais pas haha

Ouain parce que c'est un nom qui semble rare dans plusieurs régions de Québec... Un nom en voie de disparition parce que la plupart des filles qui ont ce nom sont maintenant vieilles (et décédées)... Un peu plus pis les gens catégoriseraient ce nom parmi les "George", "Ginette", "Claudette", "Gérard", "Réjean", "Thérèse", etc... Pis c'est comme ça que les gens comparent ton nom... "HEEEIIIN Ton nom c'est Ginette?! Comme la grosse Ginette Renault?!"
Je pense que... je vais appeler mon fils... Gildor... Supposément un vieux nom Québécois en disparition mais réssucité par "Gildor Roy"... et les p'tits culs vont être comme "HEEEIN comme Gildor Roy?! Version Chinois."
(Jamais... HAHAHA!)

there's lots of other ways to say this expression in french, but this is my way

Shut up, moron: Tais-toi, t'es con. you can't rly "Tais-toi, con" in french, it's better "Tais-toi, T'ES con" (t'es = tu es = you are)
Pronounciation:
- Tais -> if you know Big Bang, then it sounds exactly like TAE Yang lol. if not, the "ais" sounds like "eh"
- the "oi" in toi sounds like "wa" like in "wasabi" so just add the t in wa
- t'es, well it's the same pronounciation like tais
- con: the c is hard, like koala. the "on" sounds like someone says "aww" but instead it's with an "o" lol, so that makes like a "oonnhh" sound haha.. sry i'm bad at explaining!

lol Tu vis au Quebec?
Moi je dis "Fermes-la, t'es con" P:

Pourquoi pas:
"Fermes-la, sale con!"

Ou bien ultra québécoise...
"Ta yeule, caaaawwwlissssSSSSSsssSSSsssSSsszzzZZzzzZZzz"

[NPB-XK]

Lol you are officially not recommended to teach french to kids hahahahahahahaha

To be a good French teacher, we must remain quiet when students ask how we say "Seal" in French...
That's why many students don't get their answers... They can only see the word "phoque" in their English-French dictonnary but it doesn't have details on how we should pronounce it... Such a mysterious word for English people...

Whenever I tell them, people are like "This guy must be fooling around with us! Let's not fall for it!"... "Let's go ask another guy..." then later, "What's with these French people?!"

LOOOOL ok ouais jvoulais pas être trop extrême mais bon hahaha
T'es drole xD
Avant jdisais toujours esti...genre..."Ta yeule esti de con" lol

Hahahaha moi je le dis encore... "Ta yeule stiii..." pis des fois mon "sti" sonne de manière tellement paresseux... "Ta yeule stiiéye..."

[une_fleur]

Bonjour.....
J'ai oublie tout mon francais T_T Je tres triste...
Mais francais est useless (lol) aux NY.


Ahhh.... I still wish I remembered it more fluently though. A lot of my friends that were born in China have a problem rolling their tongues, so they can't speak French too well. I guess that noise isn't really made in Chinese?

[Sorara]

I'd say... Phoque... It's pronounced like "f*ck", no kidding.

Moi je repond avec Ouate de Phoque . . .

[Psychotic Otaku]

phoque... cet mot est vraiment génial; j'aime cette mot parce que les gens ne savent pas si je sacre LOL, sauf les francophones. oh... les bonnes mémoires avec d'avoir appris cet mot... and yes my grammaire sucks. I always mix english with french and get bad marks. :<

[NPB-XK]

*Edited* Haha oubliez mes conneries, j'étais... disons "très parti mentalement"...*

[charmainee]

Hello. Can anyone translate these:
1) I have stopped believing naively everything that my parents tell me.
2) My own reference points are enough for me to be able to find my own version of reality.
3) Like all teenagers, I am fed up with having battles with my parents, my teachers and all those who think they have authority over me.
4) Through continuous talking, my sister was able to make my parents believe that she was a brilliant student.
5) Modern day poets show wonderful examples of teenagers struggles in their verses.

I didn't come up with these myself. x_x I just want to annoy my teacher by pretending I know all of this.
I'll try the seal thing tomorrow.

Haha I'll to translate for you. =) but it's not going to be the best translation ever...

1) J'ai arrêté de croire naïvement tout ce que mes parents me disent.
2) Mes propres point de références sont assez pour me permettre de trouver ma propre version de la réalité.
3) Comme tout adolescent, j'en ai marre d'avoir des disputes avec mes parents, mes professeurs et tous ceux qui croient avoir de l'autorité sur moi.
4) Pendant de longues conversations, ma sœur a été capable de faire croire à mes parents qu'elle était une brillante élève.

I wasn't able to finish the last one, because, I don't how to translate teenagers struggles. haha...^^"
Maybe someone can do a better translation. I tried my best. Hope it will help anyway. =)

[pink lemons.]

I'd love another French buddy to talk with on mic if possible?
I really need to improve. -____-

[lightbringer]

Haha I'll to translate for you. =) but it's not going to be the best translation ever...

1) J'ai arrêté de croire naïvement tout ce que mes parents me disent.
Je suis d'accord on peu aussi dire : (i'm ok with, we can aslo say) :
J'ai cessé de croire naïvement tout ce que mes parents me racontaient.
2) Mes propres point de références sont assez pour me permettre de trouver ma propre version de la réalité.
ça n'est pas bon même si on en comprend le sens (it's not good, even we enderstand the meaning)
Mes propres références sont assez bonnes pour que je puisse me faire ma propre version de la réalité.
3) Comme tout adolescent, j'en ai marre d'avoir des disputes avec mes parents, mes professeurs et tous ceux qui croient avoir de l'autorité sur moi.
parfait on peut à la rigueur mettre adolescent au pluriel (perfect if we were perfectionist we can "turn" teenager in plural.
Comme tout les adolescents ...
4) Pendant de longues conversations, ma sœur a été capable de faire croire à mes parents qu'elle était une brillante élève.
Je ne pense pas que l'on parle de longues conversations mais de conversations répétées. I do not think we are talking about long conversations but repeated talking.
Par des conversations continuelles, Ma sœur a réussi a faire croire à ms parents qu'elle était une bonne élève.
5)Dans leurs vers, les poètes des temps moderne montreNT de merveilleux exemple de...
De nos jours, les poètes modernes montrent de merveilleux exemple de luttes (*) adolescentes dans leurs vers.
(*) A moins qu'il fasse référence à la révolte adolescente (perhaps he want talk about adolescent "rébellion"

Ma foi oui, mais le français est une langue vivante, et ce qui est vivant ne sent pas toujours bon. Les insultes font partie intégrante de la langue. Avec les mots doux c'est la 1er chose qu'on retient. Et si ca permet de savoir ce qu'est un phoque. MDR !!!
Ha tient NPB-XQ tu connait l'expression pédé comme un phoque ? Il parait qu'en fait c'est une déformation de l'anglais fox, le chien fox terrier, le bestiaux confond parait-il assez souvent mâle et femelle.

Boooo!!!

I have a french exam tomorrow and I'm cramming ):

My listening is terrible and I'm afraid that I wont pass the exam because I haven't been doing much of my work lately! I need to work on my bad habits because I think French is a nice language and I'd like to speak it fluently one day so I should be doing my work >w<;

Anyone want to be my french tutor over MSN that can also do mic convos lol? No Seriously. I need one o.o;
Especially because my listening is really bad and I want to improve on my pronounciation. I think this way, because I'm always on the net (and msn) I will always have the oppurtunity to study if I have someone I can communicate with.

Anyone xD? (PM me? Or post interest and I'll PM you or just reply to the thread please ^^)

[SushiToaster]
