@@rubedog961 you'd think that but even then it's a bit inconsistent. Like, a lot of people say that h is mute when from a latin word, and aspirated from a germanic word... But then, haricot is probably from latin too but aspirated. And worse than that, it probably shares the etymology with aligot... which doesn't even has an h.

The reason they are different is the "h" from homme is from Latin. When French started being a written language, this "h" was already silent. On the other hand, the "h" from haricot used to be pronounced in French a long time ago. It was a Frankish word in which the "h" was aspirated. This Frankish "h" later became silent like the Latin "h", but it left a mark in the article before the word.

​@@Ezullof The rule above cited by OP is generally true, but there are some weird cases (because languages are always weird like that). For example, we say "le haut", but "haut" comes from Latin "altus". There was never any "h" to begin with even in Latin! We think it's because it was influenced by the Frankish word, which had a pronounced "h" (see "high" in English, "hoch" in German, etc.). "haricot" is more complicated, because the origin is very uncertain, but there are theories that do say it ultimately comes from a Frankish word, or was at least influenced by it ("haricot" could mean a type of stew, and for that meaning, we can trace it back to Frankish, and it's possible that, while having a different origin, the "bean" word was influenced by it, but again, it's also possible the "bean" word comes from the "stew" word as it was a common ingredient, or that it came from the same Frankish word through a different path). But from what I've gleaned, there aren't really any theories about it coming from Latin.

Jokes appart, people need to understand that languages aren't "made" to be efficient or simple to learn by foreigners. Languages just...are. They're the results of millenias of linguistical crossovers and mutations and they usually really do the job. French is a decently easy language to speak, it's just that l'Académie Française is trying its best to ruin it. Prononce the haricot however you like it, french people will most likely get it.

1. Glottal stop is not an aspirated "h". 2. Hawaii is probably not the best example of a glottal stop as in this particular instance it copies Polynesian phoneme written down as ʻ [ʻokina] → Hawaiʻi). And no, it's not an apostrophe. Better example although quite stereotypical would be Southern English pronunciation of "bottle of water" or "butter" where /t/ are replaced by /ʔ/ - glottal stops.@@jdmoncada8205

@@jdmoncada8205​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ you’re completely wrong about it: there’s no glottal stop in French, and there’s no glottal stop in the English word “Hawaii”. There is a glottal stop in the Hawaiian word “Hawaiʻi”, but it’s between the two /i/ sounds, not before them. Many dialects of English do have glottal stops, though, either as a realization of /t/, like in “mountain” or “bottle” (less common) or “bet” (more common), or between vowels across a word boundary, like in “the apple” or “uh-oh”.

Silly rabbit, if we didn't have the K at the end of CK combinations, how would we know that it's supposed to be a hard C sound when it's in the past tense or comparative? Kick → Kicked Quick → Quicker → Quickest Otherwise we'd have confusion: Pick without the K would become "Pissed" or "Pīced." And I have no logical defense for the variants of X; it's a "CKS," it's an "X," it's a "Zzz," and occasionally it's a "Shhh."

Apparently, the real reason for the distinction between H aspiré and H muet is that words that are H aspiré are lumped together in a category of "non-latin words". Words like 'haut', 'hache', and 'haricot' are from ancient frankish. 'hasard' is from arabic thru a spanish borrowing. 'héros' is from greek, and 'handicap' is from english. So that's ultimately the reason why a H aspiré/ H muet distinction exists.

that doesn't make much sense because "haut" is from "hault" which cognates with Spanish "alto", which is obviously a latin-rooted word. We also have "altesse" and "altitude" from the same root word, the only reason why we kept the H there is because otherwise it'd be quite ambiguous with "eau" (water)

@@abarette_ according to the etymology I've read, the french word 'haut' didn't come entirely from latin 'altus' alone'. The frankish word '*hauh, is related to german 'Hoch' and english 'high' and, according to the etymology I've read, the frankish word was _conflated_ that is to say frankish '*hauh' and latin 'altus' _combined_ together because they had roughly the same meaning. (Latin 'altus' is often translated into english as high or tall) This explains why there's no *H* in 'altesse' or 'altitude' since the first word 'altesse' was borrowed from italian 'altezza' (whereas the less common today, but native french 'hautesse' keeps the *H* from 'haut') and the second word 'altitude' was borrowed directly from latin with no frankish correlation.

The backstory, for anyone who's interested, is that the h in _haricot_ historically went silent later than the h in _homme_ - this is because the h in _homme_ is a relic of the former pronunciation of a word descended directly from Latin (_homō_ in this case), whereas _haricot_ is a later borrowing. Of course, this isn't necessarily a practical help for French students unless they also happen to be comparative linguists, though.

En vrai c'est pas si grave, moi-même je préfère dire "l'haricot" car "le haricot" je trouve ça pas terrible phonétiquement.

This is actually very consistent if you only consider pronuciation. It's the same in English: An umbrella A user A hat An hour
@paddotk
@paddotk 5 ай бұрын
It's not really the same though. The rule in English is that if the first word of the noun sounds like a vowel, it's 'an' and otherwise 'a'. Which also goes for your examples: - uhmbrella - Y/Juser - hat (pronounced h) - our (silent h)

@@ShaharHarshuv Indeed, but it's 'an' hour because it's pronounced 'our'. There are no words like this with an exception where the reason would be 'because there's an aspirated h'.

@@sparkyheberling6115Rather simple: there is absolutely no difference in the pronunciation of the h letter in homme or haricot. In French it is called « h aspiré » but it is not aspirated at all. This is why the French cannot pronounce the English h correctly and say « ome » instead of « Home ». The fun of the video is that he tries to explains a rule that exists only in theory but nobody even knows why. In short: Learn the exceptions by heart (le haricot, le hibou, le hêtre…), no other chance 😮
