Watched too many bullshit youtube shorts and came back wrong

Every declaration of love is urgent because we are going to die

And we call these "Ampelmännchen" ("traffic lights little man").

omg that's amazing! I wanna visit Germany just to take pictures of all the cute traffic lights.

Dating an incomprehensibly large megastructure girl is interesting because she will send you pics of endless halls and chasms of impossible geometry on scales that threaten to break you fragile perception of reality in 2 taken from security cameras miles above the ground and then respond with something like ">///////////////////////////////<"

hate when I rb a post that i think is just good but it turns out it's vaguing like fifteen other posts and now it looks like I've take a Stance even though I just woke up and haven't even been born yet truly

La zone sans connexion autour de Pyramides n'est pas une erreur. Elle existe pour permettre à chaque passager.ère de vivre dans le moment, et de confirmer que ce groupe de touristes parle en effet bien de vous.

Also shout-out to the Swedes for just borrowing the French "adieu" into their vocabulary and just spelling it "adjö"

German has borrowed the italian "Ciau", spelling it "Tschau" and only using it as a goodby instead of also a greeting.

I had completely forgotten about this, this is fantastic.

If you enjoyed "ciao" becoming "tschau", you'll definitely want to hear where "tschüss" (German, also meaning "goodbye") comes from!

I mean the french very much aren't getting away with it. Everyone else is taking their language and running off with it cackling with glee. We're all getting away with fucking up french words on purpose

#English loves french so much it steals the same fucking word a few centuries apart so it gets two words that have the same meaning#But different spellings -#Like guarantee/warranty#(aside: There was a w/g shift so you can see if the word showed up with the normans or got nicked later#Which is why for e.g. the english call it wales and the french call it pays de galls)#Catch/chase#Gender/genre

Give us our words back :(

Never. French words are my second favourite thing to scrump

I might be a little late to the party, but random countries just casually messing up and screwing with the French language is really funny.
