As a french myself, I must say the language is in fact quite unforgiving to new learners. Literally 90% of words can have a sexual connotation (and the other way around) if you want it to. Example: the french say “putain” to express literally any emotion. Putain means whore (loosely translated), but depending on the way you say it, it can express disbelief, happiness, sadness, regret, surprise, and so on…
But noone uses "putain" anymore to speak about a whore, it is an old word in this acceptation, now we say "une pute" to talk about prostitutes. Putain is only an interjection and a swearword like "dangit", but with wider sense and possibilities to be used anywhere in a sentence

"Excité" never ceases to confuse me, because while most of the time I've been told to avoid it because it means horny, _sometimes_ French people actually use it _unironically_ to actually mean excited. I've heard it on kids shows 😂😭 Looking at the dictionary, you get quite a variety of different meanings 😫 (1) horny (2) excited (3) worked up and (4) stimulated [caffeine, drugs, etc] not to mention in the noun form it can mean either a hothead/troublemaker or a neurotic person... 🧐 Either way, I think I'm still going to avoid ever using it just in case 😂😂😂
French people are highly contextual. Reading the atmosphere, intonations/facial expression/whatever and between the lines helps you get the true meaning behind the words. What surprises me is hearing french people would feel offended by a foreigner's mistake. I think it would make us smile more than anything 🤔 And maybe even play further on that little misunderstanding 😏
@@quelqunx7470 it depends wether you are "excité" for something, which would generally be the excited or if something "excite" you then it generally means you are horny. e.g. "je suis excité de vous rencontrer" (I'm excited to meet you) or "elle m'excite" (she makes me horny)

Anyway, who cares, its a youtube comment after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I'm French, and I have to say that it's a myth that we're offended if the pronunciation isn't correct. Our language has so many different accents that a student of everyday French wouldn't even be able to understand an accent from the north of France. If some people make funny faces when the pronunciation is unusual, I think it's more out of fear of not understanding the conversation in progress, but nobody is offended by pronunciation in France. It's a myth. We're nice to people who make the effort to speak French.
I'm not sure you can say it's a myth tbh, these people definitely exist, but it's true its not as widespread as a lot might believe (still more than in most cultures tho ig, around Paris at least)
@@isferis Are you French or have you been to France? It's not an arrogant question, I just want to know. Maybe you've lived or seen it, and that's sad. But I stand by my point, I really can't imagine a French person getting angry about a pronunciation. Sometimes they laugh, or don't understand, but to get angry I really find hard to believe. The only anger I can imagine is the anger of a southern Frenchman who hears the accent of a Parisian Frenchman, but it's not because of the pronunciation itself, it's just that the two populations hate each other.
@@Mr_Sim Je suis français aussi, ça sort pas de mon cul. Je trouve ça pas mal qu'y aie des gens qui trouvent ça limite inconcevable, puisque ça prouve que non tous les français ne vont pas venir te sauter à la gorge parce que t'as mal prononcé une syllabe, mais je l'ai déjà vu arriver. Après la colère n'est de toute façon pas la réaction la plus fréquente, perso j'ai plus vu des moqueries (ce qui est sûrement pire mais est un autre problème), mais y a quand même quelques personnes qui s'énervent, c'est pas tout le monde, mais ça existe.

Now I understand why the phrase "Pardon my French" is used when we say naughty, rude things. Not because the French people are considered rude, but because their language is an innuendo minefield just waiting to blow.
Lavender actually more specifically "pardon my French" is only supposed to be used when you say "fuck" because "phoque" (pretty much the same pronunciation) is seal (the animal) in French. Although now people use that phrase for any cussing, I believe that's the true root of the phrase.
thats really nice from you to make everyone learn about the funny mistakes english speakers or many others can do while speaking the french language, i was born and raised in france, i spent my whole years in france, i am watching this video from france, and to be honest i laughed to the whole video thank you for this casually explained video.
+Marianne Yang If you actually go to a place where they speak a different language for any length of time you will learn much faster than if you are just taking classes or reading books.
It's probably easier for him because he's Canadian. He likely heard French as a baby before he could speak so he never lost his ability to discern French language sounds. Babies have the ability to discern all sounds from all languages but we abandon foreign language sounds after we learn to speak.
+Jason Ha I'm aware, but in English-speaking Canada, many of us learn French in school for a number of years, and most of us come away with very poor/negligible skills despite this, unless we do French immersion.
That's true for a lot of languages. Sometimes I feel like there's not enough words when I use the same "mouth" for both human little mouths and for giant void full of razor sharp teeth
My french teacher told us that if we ever go to france and need to ask a french person something, we first have to say that we're not very good at french, in french. Otherwise they'll pretend that they don't know english
Thats because french people for the most dont speak english at all. They dont act like they don't understand. A french person who speaks english would be glad to help you.
@ZoSTeD Basically yes... in class, it's not the same. I can manage, but I'm not that good, and my classmates can barely say "hello, how are u ?" (hardly exaggerating !) I think the problem is the way English is taught in France. We really should review our language learning methods. But I'll always be happy to help people who need it, whether they are English, Russian or French !
the problem with French (has a French) is that the way you speak is heavily based on the social relation you have with someone, what generation you are, and things like "verlan" (basically inverting most words syllable) and even double and triple "verlan" so even if you learn how to speak french, it's gonna be a nightmare to comprehend people in the street.
@@ledocteur7701 Well yeah, but that can pretty much be the case for any language.

Once, when I was learning French, I went to buy an ice cream. I went into the shop and said 'bonjour, je prends une glace, s'il vous plaît, une boule de la vanille et une boule de la fraise' - 'hi, I'll have an ice cream, please, one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry'. Well, so far so good - I'd learnt this bit off. Then your man starts putting my ice cream in a little bowl, and I really want to tell him, 'no, can I have a cone, please?' but I don't really have the words to do that. So, instead I say 'monsieur, non, non, non... je voudrais... erm... un con?' I get a confused look, so I proceed to mime holding an ice cream cone in one hand whilst vigorously pointing with the other hand where the ice cream should go, meanwhile repeating the word 'con', for some reason imagining that the message will eventually be telepathically conveyed. Your man clearly things I'm taking the piss here, and he puts my ice cream in a bowl as quickly as possible, then I pay, and he mutters something angry under his breath as I walk away. Understandable when you realise I said to him 'sir, no, I want a cunt', and then start miming sex with my hands whilst repeating 'cunt, cunt, cunt...'. Fml....

Then there's me, in Ontario learning french where we get a mix of all french (different teachers) and have to figure the slang out. It's fun. You get good at using context.
my french teachers taught my class and i that "excited = excité" only really applies in canadian french; although we still use excité in school, we try to remember to be mindful that "enthousiaste" is a less poor word choice in general settings
Because "kinky stuff" is just "stuff other people like" or "stuff I'm too young to have enjoyed" or "the best stuff" (and sometimes the worse stuff :sad: :handcuffs: .)
I love the contrast between French people and Portuguese people when learning their language. Portuguese people are just like "oh wow, you're learning Portuguese, you're doing great!" Even if you butchered the entire sentence

I think it's the same with Spanish, it's very unusual that people use "excitar" for context that aren't sexual, if you want to communicate in an effective way with people there's norms you have to follow, independent if that word has others uses. C'est la vie.

But I stand by my point, I really can't imagine a French person getting angry about a pronunciation. Sometimes they laugh, or don't understand, but to get angry I really find hard to believe.
The only anger I can imagine is the anger of a southern Frenchman who hears the accent of a Parisian Frenchman, but it's not because of the pronunciation itself, it's just that the two populations hate each other.
@@Mr_Sim Je suis français aussi, ça sort pas de mon cul.
Je trouve ça pas mal qu'y aie des gens qui trouvent ça limite inconcevable, puisque ça prouve que non tous les français ne vont pas venir te sauter à la gorge parce que t'as mal prononcé une syllabe, mais je l'ai déjà vu arriver.

*the French teacher’s face*
He knows
tho « je suis chaud » is now used to mean something along the lines of « that sounds rad, lets do this » (among the youth at least) (sorry for my bad english lol)

Now I understand why the phrase "Pardon my French" is used when we say naughty, rude things. Not because the French people are considered rude, but because their language is an innuendo minefield just waiting to blow.
Lavender actually more specifically "pardon my French" is only supposed to be used when you say "fuck" because "phoque" (pretty much the same pronunciation) is seal (the animal) in French. Although now people use that phrase for any cussing, I believe that's the true root of the phrase.
Romanian is the same.
Mind blown
waiting to blow eh
add an ah to fuck and thats the pronunciation for seal in spanish.

we usethat a lot when someone ask us to do something. "Do you wanna drink beers ??" Je suis chaud
the problem with French (has a French) is that the way you speak is heavily based on the social relation you have with someone, what generation you are, and things like "verlan" (basically inverting most words syllable) and even double and triple "verlan" so even if you learn how to speak french, it's gonna be a nightmare to comprehend people in the street.

Once, when I was learning French, I went to buy an ice cream. I went into the shop and said 'bonjour, je prends une glace, s'il vous plaît, une boule de la vanille et une boule de la fraise' - 'hi, I'll have an ice cream, please, one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry'.
Well, so far so good - I'd learnt this bit off.
Then your man starts putting my ice cream in a little bowl, and I really want to tell him, 'no, can I have a cone, please?' but I don't really have the words to do that. So, instead I say 'monsieur, non, non, non... je voudrais... erm... un con?' I get a confused look, so I proceed to mime holding an ice cream cone in one hand whilst vigorously pointing with the other hand where the ice cream should go, meanwhile repeating the word 'con', for some reason imagining that the message will eventually be telepathically conveyed. Your man clearly things I'm taking the piss here, and he puts my ice cream in a bowl as quickly as possible, then I pay,
and he mutters something angry under his breath as I walk away. Understandable when you realise I said to him 'sir, no, I want a cunt', and then start miming sex with my hands whilst repeating 'cunt, cunt, cunt...'.
Fml....
