learning languages is fun because in some areas youll be like "oh wow theres one word for this thing thats covered by 20 different words in english? thats so easy and convinient!" and then in other areas you'll be like "what the fuck do you mean you use different numbers depending on what kind of object youre counting. im going to kill myself."
did the french invent multiple ways to say bless you when someone sneezes because their thin curly mustaches kept tickling their noses or is that just a coincidence

This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

C'est très simple, voyez-vous, il suffit de respecter moins pétain que les prostituées et puis hop, au lieu de jurer en disant putain, tu dis pétain. Et l'abréviation peut rester la même ! Que du bénef 👍
(but be careful !!! in some spaces, fdp means frais de port !!! which means shipping fee !!!! so the sentence "j'ai eu un problème avec les fdp" can mean either "I had a problem with the shipping fees" OR !! "I had a problem with these sons of bitches")
(also it makes the band name 5 finger death punch very funny when you see it abbreviated. 5fdp? 5 sons of bitches 😊)
ah ptn toutes ces années je savais pas ce que voulais dire "oklm". je pensais que c'était genre "ok la/le m(???)"
y en a plein que j'ai jamais vus :O y compris "prcq" -- que perso j'ai tendance à écrire "psk" ("paske" = parce que = bc)
@+ -> à plus (tard) = see ya (later)
à tout'/à toute -> à tout à l'heure = see ya (soon)
asv ? -> âge/sexe/ville = age/gender/city = a/s/l?
askip -> à ce qu'il paraît = it seems/i heard that...
slt tlm -> salut tout le monde = hi everyone
tgcf -> ta gueule c'est français = stfu it's french
kikou: an ancient internet history spelling of "coucou" (= hi) which will give ptsd flashbacks to your old francophone nerds, esp if followed up by "lol"
can you provide any more. uh. vocabularies gay en français? (tried to ask in french, but couldn't make heads or tails of how to structure questions haha)
you don't know how big is my smile is right now
1. the basics of gender, sexuality and romantic labels
tldr: its the same as in english but with a french accent. really, once you know how to say "sexual", "romantic" and "gender", you just add the prefix of your choice and voilà. to make it even easier, those words are VERY close to their english counterparts:
sexual = sexuel.le -> homosexuel.le, bisexuel.le...
but in the end, still like in english, we often shorten these words to their prefix alone: "je suis bi", "il est aro"...
and if you wonder about labels which don't follow this structure, i suggest you look it up for yourself, but there's still a 98% chance the term is The Same With a French Accent, exemples:
gay = gay (i shit you not)
lesbian = lesbienne
sapphic = sapphique
achillean = achilléen
non binary = non binaire
c'est vraiment aussi simple que ça :)
2. how to fuck this binary shit
if you're familiar with french, you probably know it's a gendered language, and maybe wonder how you can speak about people who don't wish to be gendered as masc or fem. the answer is inclusive writing (écriture inclusive), which i actually already showed you above, see:
fem form: bisexuelle
masc form: bisexuel
inclusive form: bisexuel.le
works the same for gendered nouns:
fem form: musicienne
masc form: musicien
inclusive form: musicien.ne
as you can see, in most cases, you can obtain the inclusive form of a word by combining their masc and fem form and a "separator" . i chose to use a simple period, but a hyphen or median point ("·" <- this thing) and probably more* can also be used - edit after seeing comments : take note that using a dot can sometimes fuck up screen readers and also be read as a website url!
in other cases (especially for words ending in -eux/-euse or -teur/-trice), inclusive form can be obtained by smashing the fem and masc form all together:
fem form: actrice
masc form: acteur
inclusive form: acteurice
*however, i need you to keep in mind
i am not a french teacher, just trying my best to explain a pretty complex mess. @ french speakers, if you see any mistake or anything i missed, please speak up.
inclusive writing is still being heavily debated, so it has no official guidelines, tbh even i freestyle it whenever i'm too lazy to look up how i should write something. is "lea" the correct inclusive form for "le/la"? fuck if i know but i sure will use it because who even knows.
and ofc inclusive writing is not only useful for non binary people, but also a tool for feminism that allows to get past the "masculine wins" rule (= when writing plurals, if a single item/person in the group is masc, the entire group must be gendered as such)!
3. mmh pronpuns
again, if you know french, you know we have no equivalent to "they" as even the plural forms for "she" and "he" are gendered. so there goes your only option if you're uninterested in either of those : neopronouns, my beloveds.
the most common one (and the one you should use when unsure of a person's gender or paired with inclusive writing to fuck that "masculine wins" shit) : iel, iels for plural. some other french neopronouns i saw include ael, ul, ol, ille, xel... but feel free to make your own up, this is what neopronouns are about. btw les francophones je suis curieux.se, si vous utilisez d'autres pronoms que elle/il/iel, dites moi quoi !
4. important!
faggot = pédé (there are SO MANY synonyms but i'll just give you the most common)
@smal5504 @zaziuszaza @jclikestodoodle @starlightluvstickling @popbot-kirameki @that-purple-freak even tho I'm not in America, I wish you all the best and safety from them :(
WAAAHHH!! HEY CUTIES! LISTEN QUICK OKAY?? it's an important message from your magical girl Madoka! ICE has rebranded, and it's a very big possibility it will cause more people to unknowingly be put in danger. As a magical girl it pains me to know that this is a thing, even more so as a follower of Lord Hermes..:(( Hermes would be so upset to hear that travelers are no longer welcome and even in DANGER now! .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. No matter what, as a magical girl, I promise to help everyone I can, and if this saves someone's life then I would eternally be grateful. May the gods protect you all. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
I tried to tag as many people as I could think of. I don't know most of them, they just appeared when I typed specific letter combinations. Either way, they should still know. Please stay safe!!! :(
