      Le mot français "catin" vient d'un mot grec "Καθαρό" qui veut dire "pur", (et qui a aussi donné Cathare ou Catherine ) employé ici par dérision donc pour désigner des femmes de petite vertu😏 .

Sooo cool after all this time, across the miles, we still speak the same language. Im in nova scotia. Bonjour to you from your very distant acadian family here in Nova Scotia!

    • @B3OWULF416
      @B3OWULF416 2 месяца назад +2

      Cajuns were Acadians expelled from there by the British Protestants who took over. Cajun is a hard mispronounciation of Acadian because of their thick accents. For your info, there are Cajuns who visit French families there as sort of reconnecting with their heritage.

    • @Namastebitch
      @Namastebitch Год назад

      As a french speaker from France, Canjun is actually different from French. It’s like US english ans UK english, the language developed differently, and now it has its own way of speaking and its own vocabulary. But yes, you’d still speak French often, and you’ll be able to understand the Canjun if you made a link between Rougarou and Loup-Garou. (And if I’m talking to a fellow french native, you already know all of that, so have a nice day my friend)

A lot of people make us out to look like total idiots! Bc they say they Cajun but can’t even speak our language! Idc if you went to school and took French class! It’s different!
