    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 Год назад

      Actually, crépuscule has a harrible ending (-uIe / -cuIe) and it has the three letters before -cule that are a bad letter combination that does not belong in the middle of a word, so only the first part crép sounds good! But most others are a neutral or a pretty word, but they should be pronounced in an open way, without the nasal sound, because it is always the nasal sound that makes a French word sound bad! Most French words are pretty and neutral words, and it’s only the pronunciation that can create unpleasant sounds! Anwy, the letter combinations viv and bly cannot be in someone’s name or yt name etc, and must be edited out!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 Год назад

      Dutch & English + Scottish dialect (and then Norwegian) are objectively the prettiest languages in the world, with the most poetic and the most refined sound and the most pretty words, so they are perfect languages that are a must-know language that all should know / learn! Dutch is also the hottest-sounding language in the world! While Brazilian Portuguese is the hottest-sounding Latin language, but the few nasal vowels should be pronounced openly / non-nasally tho! In fact, all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and most Latin languages are pretty, and there are a few other pretty languages as well - but most languages that exist are not pretty and shouldn’t be spoken by anyone!

      That being said, I must say that most of the French words in the video are a neutral or a pretty word in fact - the sound could be improved by pronouncing the words without nasal sounds (in a normal / open way) because a nasal pronunciation can make a pretty word sound unpleasant, so that may be the issue with French words, because most have a very nasal pronunciation, which also makes it difficult to understand what one is saying!

    "Gueule" is used to refer to the mouth of a carnivorous animal, which opens more widely than that of a herbivore. . Thus when used for a person, it means this person speaks too loud (verbs "gueuler" -> to shout or "engueuler" -> to tell sb off) or speaks too much. Also used in a different meaning in "c'est une fine gueule'" -> a person who enjoys and knows about fine food and drinks.

      ah, ça doit être une question d'âge: pédéraste est plutôt utilisé par la génération des boomers, ça a dérivé et raccourcis en pédé (homosexuel) qui était très utilisé dans les 80-90's . A l'origine le sens est de désigner un "pédophile", mais le sens a dérivé en "homosexuel" (en parallèle pédophile qui signifie "aimé les enfants" de manière tout à fait appropriée a dérivé en variance pervertie)

    I've never really liked the word "repas" -- which I also think is the least "French" word I can think of. However, I mostly do not dislike the words you mentioned in the video. I agree about "bouffe" and "bouffer" and "meuf" though -- I'm not keen on them and on verlan in general. It's so forced and cringe and adolescent. I also hate "bifler." I'm okay with the rest. Some of these are quite pretty actually -- chiottes and chiantissime and mioche I like.
    Also, caca and tartar and pederasty also exist in English and their meanings are similar as in French -- how did they need explanation?
    Gueule is a good word; I expressly like it. A separate word for "face" also exits in Hungarian and it is used much like in French: to denote the face and/or mouth of an animal and, as a derogatory term, of people you don't like. Ferme ta gueule is literally the same in Hungarian.

    En effet ces mots ne sont pas élégants mais généralement qualifient des adjectifs ou nomment des noms ou caractérisent des actions qui ne le sont pas moins. Ce qui dans un sens est cohérent.
    D'autre part tu insistes en portant l'accent tonique sur la première syllabe qui normalement se trouve en français sur la dernière.
    Pédéraste, pédérastie sont dans le dico mais peu utilisés par les médias depuis 20 ou 30 ans, tu peux leur préférer éphébophile et éphébophilie plus fluides à l'écoute.
    Attention quand tu dis CROÛte, j'entends CRÜte alors qu'il faudrait entendre croûT.
    Crépuscule, crépusculaire ne me choquent pas, il faut simplement ne pas détacher chaque syllabes et ne pas forcer sur le R et le S et porter l'accent sur le L.

    Yeah it’s meaning is ugly too ; it can mean a scab too !
    But really, pronounce it like « Kroot »
    And yeaaaah « Caca » is the infantile way to say it ; and is literally designed to sound yucky. Same for Crade ^^^
    Funny because most of the words you mention as ugly are indeed derogative versions of the proper words ! My Grandmother would scold me for using these words !
    Some of them are really funny or sassy, like « meuf » sounding quite like « Muff » ^^
    Oh and yeeeeeees ! Flemme comes from the English « Phlegm/Flegm » it did a funny roundabout ; from latin to English and French, it took on a different meaning with time and when the French took it back they twisted the meaning one more turn !
    It’s quite funny that you still have some difficulties with the Ü sound ! It’s quite nice though, gives that extra exotic touch to your accent :)
