    The Periodt means ‘´ facts’’ or the t added to the period means to add emphasis to a point that has been made. 😊

      @@MyFrenchStory kind of. Instead of saying the "d" at the end, you kind of just audibly stop. 😅
      I would look at the way we Americans say cat, bat, rat, etc. We don't really say the "t" in those words, it's kind of implied. I hope this makes sense 😅😅😅

      I’m southern (Texas) and we definitely pronounce the t. It’s the d that’s silent. It would sound like “periot” making sure you stress the t to get your point across!

    @ilhuicatlamatini 3 года назад

    Ahaha! This was fun, I looove breaking down language and learning how it translates. Oh and yup, you say the “t” at the end of the word periodt, which is what makes it more emphatic. I’m not a fan of her but Kim Kardashian says it a lot and video of her saying it will probably be easy to find if you want to hear it pronounced a few times in different emphasis. As for piqué, it sounds like English word peak, so for me I’ll remember it as “someone who peaks my interest” lol! Not same as a crush maybe but close enough for me to remember. It’s my new favorite, but how do you spell out the faster way of saying it? Like what’s the slang way of texting it, for instance? Asking for a friend 👀😂🙈

  • @s.h.7829
    @s.h.7829 3 года назад +6

    I'm Haitian and in Creole we would use the word piqué to describe a certain food that is really spicy. So I'm trying to relate it somehow to each other. Like maybe your crush makes you feel a little spicy or maybe you might want to do some spicy thing with them ☺😂
    By the way, I love your French accent🙂

      I love your interpretations! From my shallow understanding, Haitian Creole seems so much more learner-friendly than French (no conjugation! spellings that look like they sound!). I wonder if learning a little Haitian Creole might help me learn French better, or if it’ll just confuse me 😂

    • @s.h.7829
      @s.h.7829 3 года назад +2

      @@lilkitti13 Lol. Yes Creole is a little easier to learn and understand. But its a broken French dialect. Almost like Jamaican patois. French people usually cannot understand it. And its like that for a reason. You see the slaves wanted a way to speak in code without their slave masters understanding them so they developed the dialect to talk to each other without the master knowing. But coincidentally, I find that the fact I understand Creole helps me to get French a little bit. But its still completely different.

    Wow interesting your video ! What's the tea in French is C'est quoi les bails too in Quebec and is used amongst a younger crowd especially people of colour and is becoming mainstream because of Hip Hop and even the singer Aya Nakamura on her song Biff ! The expression To Flex here is "Se la croire" for exemple Il/ Elle se la croit.

    PERIODT is an emphasis. It's like period but more dramatic: THE END. Or instead of saying "that's facts" you could say PERIODT.

    Yes, you pronounce the t at the end--"Period-t". It puts a finer point on the word. "...and she's not getting in for an appointment today. Periodt".
    For "Une dinguerie" in the way your sentence uses it, the American slang would be "It's off the chain'" or "it's lit'". For the negative, we'd say "she's cray-cray", although that's gotten a bit long in the tooth now.
