right, the adverb "inébranlablement" is much rarer than the adjective it is derived from, "inébranlable", which is still not an everyday word. it does not exactly mean "that cannot change", but rather "that cannot be moved/shaken", and it mostly describes a human attitude, determination/strong will and ability to overcome without flinching any dire situation, opposition or criticism.

The biggest difficulty for you guys (appart from the fact that we don't pronounce all the letters) is that french is not a tonic language. We pronouce the whole word "evenly" I'd say... Which is why the french have a hard time speaking english, because they either ignore the tonic accent inside a word, or put it in the wrong place. ;)

The lady in pink has what it takes to learn easily: confidence, humour, curiosity and strategies ( when she asked about the 2 l, and searched on the basis of " oui" to try and figure out "grenouille". It doesn't work here, exactly because of the 2 ll, like it was in bouilloire, but, she's on the path) This was tricky, but you can be assured that, if some of are critical over other french people when they fail ( I'm from south-east of France, and believe me, northern french people make fun out of me because my pronunciation not being standard), you have nothing to fear! Actually, most of us are delighted when a foreigner tries to speak french. No matter if the pronunciation is not totally exact, we'll correct you almost only when we can't understand. But, we really appreciate the effort, and may find a foreigner's accent lovely. Meanwhile, we are generally ashamed of having bad accent in english ( it's mainly due to the way langages are teached in school, were we mainly learn to read, write , listen. But sometimes, during a one hour lesson, not a single minute is spent on speaking and pronunication), so If you want to communicate with a french person in France, even if you don't speak french, here is the key: you'll have to learn at least ONE sentence. " Excusez-moi, je suis étranger/ étrangère. Je ne parle pas français. Est-ce que vous parlez anglais" ( I beg your, pardon, I'm foreigner, I don't speak french, Do you speak english?" ) The answer may be yes or no, but at least, asking this in french can really help the person not to feel ashamed about his own english accent.

0:54 aaand no, french fries are from France. It's a bit complicated. The idea is from France, the overall thing is. Simply, the current recipe used around tbe world is from Belgium. Belgians decided that the potatoes had to be cut in a specific shape, fried twice, with duck grease (or some animal oil)

@k.v.7681 Жыл бұрын

Beef Fat*. But yes. Fries are quite the European story. The french started fryng potatoes as street food. A german guy like the concept, opened an eatery in Brussels selling that exclusively, fried in duck fat. Belgians liked it but were "could be better". So they perfected it with a cheaper, more availlable type of grease: "blanc de boeuf".

@Zedem0n Жыл бұрын

Yes and no. American troops discovered the "french fries" in french-speaking Belgium. So actually if we're talking where the term french fries originates from, it's from a mistake/misconception by American soldiers that did not distinguish the language from the nationality of the dish. Now as you said, fried potatoes might be a french invention to start with (although nothing's actually for certain, but as far as we know, it's the definite origin) but yeah, the way the recipe is done is in the Belgian style. So when all is said and done, it should be called belgian fries because the french fries use the belgian receipe. Saying french fries are from France is like saying the french have also discovered the potatoe to begin with. Or like saying cavemen invented french fries because they discovered fire and how to cook food.

Ian is impressive. He even successfully pronounced inebranlablement which is very difficult according to me. the first "e" is é but there's no accent because there are two consonants just after it. Mille-feuille is really hard too. In mille we pronounce "ll" like "l" but in feuille it's kind of like "y".... As a native french speaker it sounds absolutely easy but most of us are not able to explain why like the frenchgirl in this video ! But I promise, there are official rules lol ! (However they are very complicated. For example the word "donc" (which means therefore) was modified a few weeks ago. It's grammatical class isn't the same anymore 🤣. In fact, the people who decided to change that debated and finally thought that it was more logical that way... Sorry about my english skills (obvisouly, I'm French !). If sth isn't correct please don't hesitate to tell me.

Stop saying fries are Belgian. It has been proven that they are French. Food historian Pierre Leclerc, a Belgian, gives the origin of French fries. "It is clear that the fried potato was invented at the beginning of the 19th century in Paris", he explains to the media Brut. "It was born in the Parisian street, it was born in the hands of the Parisian street fry vendors. And it was they who made the fried potato the popular emblematic Parisian dish of the 19th century before this fries be exported to Belgium. So it is clear that the fries are of French origin".

For the "ill" sound they are struggling with it's pronounced very much like the "y" in young, you, yellow, crayon. In grenouille the -ouille sound is basically like saying you but reversing the sounds like "ou-y" it's not an order English speaking people are used to using so it can take some mouth gymnastics. There are however quite a few exceptions where those letters are pronounced "il" as in "ee-L". These exceptions include the number 1 thousand which is in the word "mille-feuille" that they tried to pronounce here and any other word related to mille such as millionaire. Other exceptions if I remember my 1st grade reading lessons in France from 25 years ago include: chinchilla (loved that word as a kid), ville ("town" and all related words such as village), all words starting in ill- (illusion), all words ending in -illaire (capillaire), tranquille (and related words), a bunch of random medical terms (pénicilline...), and some names of places and people (Lilles, Achilles...)... and others I've surely forgotten! And there is as far as I remember no rule for when exceptions apply. It's one of those cases where you just have to try and hope for the best. As the words above are the exceptions you'll have a higher chance of success pronouncing it as "Y".

It's not really that hard, because there are rules for which letters are pronounced and which are silent, so once you learn the rules, you know how to pronounce almost any French word, even ones you've never seen before. And the same combination of letters is (almost) always pronounced the same, so you always know how to pronounce endings like -eaux, -ière, -ine etc.

Au contraire 😂! Precisely, both English and French are among the most difficult languages whose fonetics are harder to be learnt because not all letters are pronounced as writen and there are several rules that change or vary these fonetics according to the meaning given to a word or the sense of the sentence,something you otherwise won't find in languages such as German

inebranlablement is a fairly common literature word in French. fairly comon in books. young people don't really use that word because most of them are not reading, also it is a word that describes something in a very precise way, therefore difficult to properly use that word in a normal conversation.
