I Instruct My Boyfriend To Paint My Nails But In French

[@unstablemathematician8192]

Re: the "neither male nor female" question. First my credentials: I'm non-binary, and while I was born in Germany, I lived in France for about 13 years, so I'm fluent in French, though it's a bit rusty since I moved back to Germany. Also, I'm doing my best to explain it as well as I can for those who don't speak French. There is no formally accepted gender neutral pronoun. As far as the académie française is concerned, there is only male and female. However, what Ben said about the gender binary is true, and so we've invented ways to refer to people in a gender neutral way. There is no "they/them" pronoun in French, but we do use neopronouns. The most common one is "iel", which is a combination of "il" (he) and "elle" (she). There are other ones, such as ael, ol, ille, but they're less common. "iel" is the most widely accepted one. Actually, Twitter has started incorporating "iel" into its French site recently, instead of writing "il/elle". Now, in French, every adjective and some verbs have a different ending depending on the gender of the noun, and again, traditionally, there's only male and female endings. Let's take an easy example: the adjective "petit", meaning small or young. The male form is "petit", the female form is "petite". What we do is just kinda mashing both forms together, and separating the male and female endings with a dot. So we would write "petit.e" instead of "petit/petite". This only really works in writing, though. When speaking, personally, I use the male form to refer to myself, because it's considered "less gendered" than the female form, if that makes sense? So when speaking, I'd say "quand j'étais petit" (when I was younger), but in writing I'd use "quand j'étais petit.e". /** Side note: the male form is considered gender neutral in a way because the male plural form of an adjective is used as an all encompassing plural form. For example, when there's a group with only men, you'd say "Ils sont petits". (They're small/short). When it's a group with only women, you'd say "Elles sont petites" (They're small/short). However, when there's both men and women, even when there's more women then men (even when there's only one man and the others are women), you always default to the male form and male plural pronoun. This is something that some of us try to avoid, though, and for a group with mixed genders, we started using the pronoun "iels" (a combination of "ils" and "elles") and the gender neutral form of the adjective. **/ This can get a bit clunky with longer adjectives, for example "heureux", which means happy. The male form is "heureux", and the female form is "heureuse", so the mashed together gender neutral form would be "heureux.se". But we don't have anything else at the moment and probably never will. Also, what I and a lot of other non-binary people tend to do is avoid using gendered language altogether. There are adjectives, for example, where the male and female form is the same. "jeune", for example, which means young. So, instead of saying "quand j'étais petit.e", I'll favor "quand j'étais jeune" because it flows better. This isn't always possible though, and requires a lot of mental gymnastics at times. So yeah, that was your short lesson on using gender neutral language in gendered langauges.

[@AceGemtura]

Thank you for this, it is incredibly informative and interesting!

[@SlightlySingedAngel]

Fascinating! As an enby learning French as a second language, I'm very interested in this development. How would "iel" be pronounced? I tend to smush all the genders together so I might refer to myself as feminine in one sentence and masculine in the next. My Hebrew is even more fun -- my self-referential verbs and adjectives might not match gender in Hebrew, and although I'm sure native speakers are cringing it's completely on purpose.

[@zeus-wp6oz]

SlightlySingedAngel you would pronounce it i-èl

[@maggiescarlet]

Wow this is so cool!! You guys have totally modernised and adapted your language to accurately describe your experience, meanwhile some English speakers struggle with using "they" as a singular (even though it's been used that way since Shakespeare!!) 🙄 Thanks for sharing :))

[@marciaferreira5224]

It's fascinating how every single sentence of yours could be applied if speaking about Portuguese (and Spanish as well). Even down to the ungendered "jeune" (= jovem). I didn't even think of these rare words we have where gender isn't implied! Just shows how latin languages follow all these same principles that are very hard to adapt to a new increasingly less binary world.

Yes this! And in France at least (idk about Canada) it's often just shortened to "oh la" and is often used to mean anything varying from "wow" to "yikes" or "uh oh"

[@its_clean]

@@beatm6948 I have no clue, but I'm going to assume that a non-Francophone saw someone say "oh la la" at something surprising/shocking that happened to be positive, and assumed that it was an expression of being pleased rather than concerned. Same thing as saying "voila" to mean "ta da, be impressed". While it is occasionally used that way, in general it just means "there it is" or "there you go". The word "voila" literally translates to "look there". Like if someone asks "where is Paul" you'd point at Paul and say "voila Paul". But it doesn't imply that you're a magician who has pulled Paul out of a hat, declaring vOiLa PaUL with a majestic flourish lol.

[@OHMD11]

I noticed this too. French is also my second language and sometimes I accidentally tutoyer/vouvoyer incorrectly because one or the other sounds more normal from the context I learned a phrase. Like I'd always say "tu m'amuse" but then say "je vous informe... " because one i would have learned to say in a friend context and the other in a professional context, regardless of how I'm using it now.
