I read that Italian and French share more words than either of them does with Spanish, but because the pronunciation is so different, it's far easier for Italians and Spaniards to understand each other than it is for Italians and French

[@xenotypos]

Incidentally, I've read somewhere that Frankish dialects (thus germanic) particularly influenced French prononciation. That may be why the prononciation diverged so much in those similar words, but not the way its spelled.

[@alexandrelarsac9115]

That's true. But italian and french are so close, it's easier to understand written french or italian than spanish.

In Spanish, we say "mujer" for woman, but there is also the term "fémina" (not coloquially used), the same with "niño" (child), but there is the term "infante" (not coloquially used too). So if you say "La fémina y el infante" Spanish people will think you come from the past 😂

The more I read and watch videos about this topic the more intrigued I am about how the different Romance languages came to be, and in particular how the pronunciation of French originated. Especially because it seems to me that the pronunciation of Italian and Spanish are similar, but French, which is geographically in the middle of both, is very different.

[@0megax788]

French pronunciation is different because of its Celtic and Germanic influences.

[@BlackHoleSpain]

Remember that Franks were a germanic tribe. Hispania was invaded by West Goths (Visigoths) and Italia was invaded by East Goths (Ostrogoths). However those tribes didn't force their language on the conquered lands after Roman Empire collapsed. They were barely 200,000 people and had to rule lands (Roman provinces) of 4-6 million people each, so they basically replaced the aristocracy, but the common people kept their old lives speaking Latin with new rulers. In Spain we keep just 300 words with Gothic roots (3% of Spanish). I don't know the number of such words in Italian language, sorry. A famous one is Spanish/Italian guerra (French guerre, Old Germanic warre, Frankish/Old Dutch werre, English war).

[@romaingillet2526]

Standard french took words from its different dialects. Germanic, Celt, Provencal, Occitan, Catalan, Basque, Arpitan,...

[@ehmzed]

I read that Italian and French share more words than either of them does with Spanish, but because the pronunciation is so different, it's far easier for Italians and Spaniards to understand each other than it is for Italians and French

[@daylonmurray8068]

What Francisco said it’s true, but it’s also true for France. The Franks couldn’t impose their language on the people, because they were outnumbered as well. The reason why French sounds so different is because it was kind of further apart from Rome. At the time, it was much easier and faster navigating by sea than inland. Thus, Northern French people kept speaking Gaulish longer and altered Latin pronunciation more, as they gradually favoured Vulgar Latin. And since they were surrounded by Germanic tribes, Frankish somehow influenced more (in vocabulary, it’s debated if they did influence phonetics though). Since the capital of France is in Paris, standard French came from their variety. And as a kingdom and area of influence, language developed more (with many neologisms). However, the more you would go to the South, the more it would sound like Latin. In French Switzerland, feminine words end with « a » like in Italian and conjugation is closer to it as well. Further South, Occitan sounded no different than Catalan and is pretty Latin phonetic-wise. So French is clearly a Latin-based language, with more altered pronunciation. But as time went by, orthographists wanted to retain Latin roots and kept spelling the way it was before many of the alterations. That explains why French is not pronounced as written and thus allows other Latin speakers to read it.

[@chiamatemigio]

In Italian you can use the word "infante" to say "children" so a french speaker can understand you better.

[@scully8950]

For me, French is very simple because when it is written it resembles Italian and when it is spoken it resembles my dialect (I live in Lombardy, in northern Italy). When I was a student and I didn't know a word in French I invented it based on Italian and my dialect and 9 times out of 10 I guessed, ah, ah!

Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, and French are all descended from Vulgar Latin, but French underwent the most linguistic changes since the Middle Ages. I think Latin is probably much easier to learn for native Italian and Romanian speakers than it is for speakers of other Romance languages. I wouldn't even consider Parisian French to be the purest form (Quebecois) of the French language.

[@adjetyann2095]

That's not really true. As a native french speaker, I studied Latin at 1st cycle of secondary (I was in a Catholic school), and Latin was not so much problem for the majority of students. For example conjugation of the verb "to be" is very close of the French one, and generally Latin can be intelligible for us french speakers if we know the contest.

In German we have both words: rosa = pink In the local German dialect also the word: 'schur - actually we mean Bonjour Some French words crept into the German dialect, Napoleon was to blame. Like "fise-ma-tent-chen" = Franz. "visite ma tente" - that's what the french soldiers said to the young German girls.

The French girl makes the French language harder that it is... She tends to explain things that don't need to be explained because sometimes there is no rule and you just have to take it for what it is... French is not difficult because "Femme" isn't pronounced how it looks . French language is difficult yes but this particular example is a basic word you will encounter a lot so it shouldn't be a problem furthermore, this group of letters ---> "emme" is more pronounced like in the word "femme" than another way. For once this is not a trap but a rule that is respected... I know it's for fun but I prefer to support people who wants to learn French instead of discourage them Violemment Sciemment Récemment Prudemment Précédemment Pertinemment Patiemment They are all pronounced with the French "A" sound like in "femme" Once again French is not that hard, it's not easy yes, but French people please teach them the logic instead of looking like happy to speak it natively I don't think it's helpful

[@naikharrouet2518]

I totally agree with you. I encourage everybody to learn my language.

[@jandron94]

That's because the French went through the French oral language discovery phase in a natural mimical way early in the infancy. But the grammar and orthography are a whole different matter which is mostly based on analysis. At school the French spend a lot of time to exert their analysis capacity in the French orthography and grammar which are overloaded with an infinite quantity of rules and exceptions. To such a point that they tend to think that only analysis is an option when learning any new language. I would advise to beginners first the spontaneous oral mimical approach then the analysis approach only after they achieved a minimum of oral fluency (making short sentences that sound natural in both formulation and pronunciation).

[@kaderbueno6823]

@@jandron94 I agree on that... French language is actually a very good example at what you should do for every languages in order to learn them, you listen carefully and repeat before trying to read it ! That's the best way to understand French in my opinion... Once your brain is used to it you can go on the next level.

that's not true, Italian is much more similar to Catalan and Portuguese

In spanish we don't pronounce the "H"

[@BlackHoleSpain]

In fact, the digraph CH (phoneme [t∫] as in "chocolate", for example) was considered a proper letter in Spanish dictionaries between C and D for centuries between 1754 and 2010.

She's right, in France we don't say Mademoiselle anymore. Everyone is Madame now. Mademoiselle was for non-married women and Madame for married woman but when you just meet someone how are you supposed to know ? So people were usually calling young women Mademoiselle but this again could lead to awkward misunderstandings when people don't look their age or if they get married really early or really late.... so I think it's better if we only use Madame. For once french is getting easier ! A miracle ! I just turned 18 so in France I'm an adult and in all my official papers it's written Mme (Madame) instead of Mlle (Mademoiselle).

[@OptLab]

Legal denomination and actual use in everyday language are 2 separate things. Mademoiselle is still used by mid and older generations, regardless of how of modern, "romantique" or unpleasing it may be.

[@ahfei6847]

Non. Je dis toujours "mademoiselle"
