Blah-blah of the Anglophones

This is the place for irrelevant and irreverent balderdash....

Congratulations, Clem, on your new car!

Geez, a very intelligent, very beautiful young woman who likes Code Lyoko, lives by the Mediterranean, and has her own new car! If only I had the price of an airline ticket to Marseille....

Oh, i'm very sorry to hear about the strike. but hopefully you will be able to have the car soon!

can we use this thread for asking questions about French grammar ? because now that the forum has reopened, there are so many new grammatical nuances that i have thought of recently.

awesome! thankyou :D

I have a question about the grammar: in French, the definate article "le/la" is used more frequently than in English, but i have heard: it is not used after the preposition "en," or with the verb "parler."
One says "en France" instead of "en la France," and one says "je parle français," not "je parle le français."
This is actually the case always for those 2 words?

merci d'avance

lol despite i'm french i don't know exctly the french grammar but maybe i can help you :

- after " en " we don't use it : " j'habite en france" and no " j'habite en la france ", " j'y vais en moto " ...
i just find one case where we use it but it is a bit special :we say " En l'an 2005 " , it is not important cause you can say " en 2005 " but it can be usefull sometimes .

- for the second case, it is more difficult to explain, I have ever heard some people say" je parle le chinois, le français ..." but I personnally say " je parle français, italien ... " , I think you can use both ways but i'm not a french teacher :roll: it depend on the situations

ahh i understand. i've seen some people say "je parle le ..." when talking about languages, so I had a feeling that it was able to have it or not have it.
thanks for clarifying ! :D

Volf!

I think the roughest part of learning French (or Spanish or Latin) for an anglophone is the business of attributing a specific gender to every object in the world. A car?...is it masculine or feminine? A finger?...is it masculine or feminine? Argggh! How does one remember all that?
-
But French is a very beautiful language and is fun to use. Look at it this way, Volf: if you can speak French, you can charm any anglo woman right out of her mind (heh, heh, heh). :twisted:

Chauve-souris > You 're right ;) . But it is difficult. Btu I can do it, come on Volfor, come on, I can. And I have 14/20 in dictation, it is good, no ?
But I think French grammar is stupid.

It Blabla of the Anglophone, and not blabla of the French grammar, no ? :D

Speaking of cars, here are mine:

Image
My 1965 Volvo 1800S Coupe (restored by moi) and, beyond it, my 1964 Volvo 122S Wagon. (I do not own any newer car(s).)

Image
My 1963 Volvo 544 Sedan, which I had to sell (snif!) because I didn't have any way to keep three cars under cover. Gosh, I miss it though!

Dude, those are awesome! My family had a 1984 240 Turbo Wagon for a while when I was a kid. I know it's not the same vintage, but it's still a Volvo. My dad is amazed that Volvos can survive out here because he was under the impression that their cooling systems weren't really desert-ready. Anyway, yeah, those are awesome!

that's wicked awesome! and that you restored the 1800S by yourself! that's truely impressive. i would love to own a vintage car.

garoob- is that your Mini in your avi? i've ALWAYS wanted to get a new Mini. BMW redid that car so awesomely, and they preserved that classic look that the old one had. and now this year it's out in a convertible! i'm still deciding if a Cooper or the new MB SL650 is my dream car, but the Mini is probably a lot closer to the confines of my wallet :D
