They didn't mention the actual reason why French is so different. French is influenced by their Celtic heritage (Gaulish to be more specific), with a sprinkle of Frankish influence. English also picked up some of that influence from the Norman French (which itself was a version of the Gallo-Romance language spoken in the area we now know as Normandy after being influenced by Old Norse) that crossed the channel when the Normans became the ruling class of England. The Celts in Britain likely came from continental Europe several hundreds of years before then, with multiple regions producing their own variant of that language in relative isolation. Nowadays we typically think of the British Isles when we think of the word "Celtic" but the Celts were very widespread before Romans and Germanic people spread their influence. They were also in Iberia, but the Romans spread their influence in that area hundreds of years before they conquered Gaul (and were subsequently taken over by the Franks hundreds of years after). Certain parts of northern Italy have been influenced by the Gaulish language as well. The Arabian influence in Spain is relatively well known, but the Celtic influence is rarely mentioned even in France where it remained to some degree for quite some time even after being conquered by Romans and Franks.

In other words, Italic is a broader and more inclusive term than Romance or Latin-derived, but it has almost no practical value in using it today, as the only surviving Italic languages all come from the Romance branch.

"Souliers de course" for running shoe or "as-tu mis tes souliers, parce qu'on s'en va" for did you were your shoes, because we are going out.

French retained, more or less of course, the medieval spelling, but the pronunciation evolved. For instance the word for Easter is "Pâques" pronounced [pak]. In Middle French it was "Pasques" (pronounced [pask], like modern Welsh word "Pasg") and in Old French it was "pasques" pronounced [paskes].

One rule of thumb in French is that if a word has that circumflex mark, â, ê, î, ô, û, the original word most likely had an s preceding it. For example, château -> chasteau -> chastel -> castel (basically castle). This makes learning French much easier for other Romance languages, once they can start seeing a pattern.

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

The French language which was introduced and utilized in Britain originated from old french until 1350's but Latin and French continued to be exclusively used in official legal documents until the beginning of the 18th century there. Middle French was the transition from Latin, old french from the various languages of "oïl" (Northern) and "Occitane" (southern) into the short lived middle French (300yrs). The french language evolved the most in France and it's many of colonies. The difference between the evolution of french from middle French and modern french presently is the province of Québec situated in Canada but was formerly known as New France. Colony which was lost by the French Empire prior to its own revolution and by default it's evolution into modern french. Because of this it has retained (even now) many words of that time period. Some are closer to Latin through the Occitane dialect but other are apart due to distance and influence (Celtic/Gaelic/Gallo)

• "école" shows the typical pattern in Romance languages of adding an "e" before words that begin with "s" in Latin, but "s" became silent after vowels in most French words a few hundred years ago. So "schola" (Latin) → "escole" (Old French, with the "s" becoming silent in Middle French) → "école" (Modern French, with the accent on é indicating that there used to be an "s"). • "cheval" … another typical French thing: most words beginning with "ca" changed to "cha" in Old French. Originally it was a regional thing, with some parts of France keeping the "ca" forms longer than others. In English we sometimes have both the newer "cha" and older "ca" forms in our borrowed words. (e.g., "catch" and "chase" which come from the Old French regional forms "cachier" and "chacer" … the modern French word is "chasser") • "maison" comes from Latin "mānsiō" (same as English "mansion", Spanish "mesón", Portuguese "mesão", etc.) • "jupe" comes from an Arabic word

[@BucyKalman]

In Portuguese, we say "mansão", ,rather than "mesão", to mean "mansion".

[@SinilkMudilaSama]

In oral and sound language for centuries, 4 centuries, French abolished the pronunciation of s, be it plural or singular, the French don't like the s, the s is an orthographic and not a phonetic letter in French, then you see that French is a language dissident artistic movement in the Roman family, this has no logic or discussion, just look at the s in Latin and old italic, in the light of logic, French is full of nonsense, in fact it is a natural artlang and only, if you look at the language with the scientific view of linguistic logic it does not make sense in many details.

We all Catalan speakers use the same Portuguese word for skirt, which is 'saia', but ONLY in the folkloric skirts. The used is only limited to this specific situation. If you go to see 'Falles traditional celebration' in València, it's a word for one type of cloth for the feminine and masculine dress used in Falles. [10:47] 2. For "sneekers" we can say "vambes" pronounced as /vambas/ or /vambes/ (depending on if you're in Valencia/west Catalonia, or East Catalonia +Balearic Islands).

For water, "aqua" in latin became "awa", then "ewe", "eue", "eaue" (e-o-e) , and finaly, "eau" (o). "Manoire" actually is related to "maison", not "main". They both come from gallo-roman, the variant of latin spoken in the roman gaule. I think the original world's mean was "where you rest/recover" In latin, the world designated a place where to rest during travel, or some kind of restaurant, but in gaule, it become a way to designate your house, and then evolved into its modern forms.

Most of the differences are from the usage of different latin words. Merci for example comes from the Latin "mercēs", which meant gift, reward or price. It was transformed into "mercit" in old french, which basically meant what "mercy" now means in english. As with most words in french, they dropped the pronunciation of some consonnents, and it became "merci". I would say it has a similar root as"obrigado" in portuguese. "être à votre merci = je vous suis bien obligé" "to be at your mercy = to be much obliged". "merci = obliged = obrigado".

Hum...actually😄, there is a very valid reason why in French the words that end in "al" in the singular, end in "aux". Basically, us humans always go for the way to do things that require the less energy and an "u" or "o" sound at the end of a world requires less energy than an "L" or "ls" sound. And the evolution of the latin word "caballum" to "cheval" (singular) and chevaux (plural) is very well documented. It went like this Caballum to Caballo to Cabal to chabal ("ch" takes less energy to pronounce then "c") to chaval ("v" less than "b") to cheval (the silent "e" less than "a") to (now in plural) chevals (and the "als" was pronounced) to chevaus (that would have been pronounced "chevaws") to chevaux (where the "ux" is just pronounced "o"). Also the same phenomenom that is established in French is happening "live" in another roman languages, very specifically in the Brazilian form of Portuguese (and I suspect in some American forms of Spanish). In Brazilian Portuguese nowadays you hear many people say "Braziw", "Portugaw" or "Futebow". Maybe in some centuries from now that evolution will settle like it did in French and some countries' names will be written and pronounced very differently in Portuguese. On another note, about the translation of "sneakers" in French and Portuguese (Portuguese person here, but born and raised in France), the word "tennis" is also used in France to say "sneakers" (like in Mexico or Brazil), and in Portugal you can also say "tenis", but the more common word for it is "sapatilhas" (close to the "zapatilhas" from Argentina). I suspect that sneakers are called "tenis" or "baskets" because they were historically known to be used first in theses sports, but I'm not sure.

[@shiminisillters1848]

I am studying history and I had a course on languages. This was my favorite class of all my college years. I learned so many exciting things, for example, how languages ​​influence each other and why. (Commercial, contact, domination...). French originated from Latin, but it was strongly influenced by Celtic and Germanic languages ​​in its pronunciation due to the fact that there was contact and mixing of populations. Hence the fact that pronunciation in French is VERY different from other Latin languages. In the same way, Romanian is a Latin language but has been influenced by nearby languages, hence the fact that it no longer really sounds Latin. We still find the same patterns between French and Italian. For example, words in "ch" in French are in "ca" in Italian (if they existed in Latin.) "chèvre" becomes "capra", "chien" becomes "cane", "chaîne" becomes "catena" etc. Words in "cl" in French are in "chi" in Italian. (clé- chiave, clair - chiaro...) -> we can find the same phenomenon between English and German (night - nacht, eight - acht...) As said in the video, Spanish has been in contact with Arabic, so we find borrowings from Arabic. On the subject of borrowings between different family languages ​​(or not necessarily), there are also some super interesting things to notice: borrowings can be linked to a level of prestige. The culture associated with knowledge and medicine is ancient Greece, and there is a lot of Greek in this field. In classical music, opera, etc. it's more of an Italian influence. The cuisine, rather French, as we can notice with English (beef, which comes from the word "boeuf" in French etc.) In the context of my studies, it's really usefull to think about the patterns we observe, because it allows us to obtain information on ancient cultures without having access to writings or traces. As I gave the example with the French words in ch and the Italian words in ca: the words that we find are words that existed for those who spoke Latin, therefore concepts that come from ancient cultures. For Latin, we have enough archaeological traces, etc. but there are other cultures ​​where this is not the case, but we can find out if they had horses, metal (bronze, gold etc.), we can even try to guess the social structures, if there is a word for king, for queen, or not etc. with languages which came from those cultures. It's not infallible, given that languages ​​borrow from each other and evolve, but we can still get a lot of information from that and I find that absolutely fascinating.

Viande comes from the latin word "vivenda" which means " what serves life ", in old french viande used to mean "food" and the meat from the aniomal was used with the word "carne" which now means a low quality meat !

[@fenixdaigua]

'Maison' in Catalan is 'casa', but the traditional Catalan country house is called 'mas', from the same Latin root. And the French say 'maison' for house, but when you go back to your house, you go 'chez' toi, which is their word coming from the Latin 'casa'.

[@SinilkMudilaSama]

In Galician Maison or Mas is Casa, Pazo, Residencia and domicilio.

[@Lenno94]

In the mid to late medieval, French also used "case" to refer to a house. In most of the world, the meaning changed, but in some African countries they still use "case"

[@radiscalisation6194]

traditional southern french farmer houses (smaller ones at least) are also called "mas" (silent -s), but the term is becoming rarer nowadays as agriculture has evolved a lot in the last 150 years. its contemporary use is probably restricted to some lodges/guest houses and wine producers trying to sound typical...

[@hoathanatos6179]

Viande is related to the Spanish Vianda (Game meat) and the Portuguese Veado (a deer). It comes from the Latin Vivenda (literally that which is living), but evolved to mean animals that are hunted, then the meat of those animals, to being just the generic word for all meat in French. Maison comes from Mansionem in Latin while the word related to Casa is Chez, which is a preposition meaning at the home of, like chez moi means at my place. Pomme is from the Latin Pomum, which is just a generic word for any fruit, but apples were the most common for French people so it became specific to it. Pom in Romanian on the other hand is the generic word for a tree, which comes from the word for fruit tree. Mela is from Latin Malum, which is an apple, while Manzana, Maçã, and Maçana refers to a specific type of apple, Malum Matianum, named after the famous Roman chef and horticulturalist Gaius Matius. Jupe is actually from the Arabic Jubbah, which is a type of robe worn by Muslim men, often to prayer. Most Romance languages have a garment named after the Jubbah, they just tend to all be different types of clothing. Like the Spanish Jubon (a doublet), Giubba in Italian can refer to a few different types of tops depending on the time period and region of the country, Gibão in Portuguese is a jerkin, and Gipo means the same in Catalan. Pollera actually is related to Pollo, where a Pollera is literally a chicken coup. It also was used to refer to the frames around dresses back in the olden days, aka crinolines, because they looked like a cage that would enclose chickens. Semantic shift in Argentinian Spanish caused it to refer to skirts in particular. Saia comes from Sagia in Vulgar Latin, which referred to a cloak, especially ones worn by military officials. Then Gonna is actually related to the English Gown and originally meant any kind of garment made from animal skins or furs. Falda and Faldilla are actually Germanic words borrowed in ancient times and are related to the English word Fold and German Falte, referring to the folds or pleats on the skirt. Fralda is of the same origin but has shifted meaning to refer to diapers. Why French words start with Ch while the other languages begin with C is because like how Italian C before I and E became a CH sound, Old French saw the syllable Ca become palatalized to a Kya sound and then Cha and finally the Sha sound.

[@adenauerlemos7926]

Vianda also exists in Portuguese vocabulary to refer to meat. It is not used much nowadays.

[@hoathanatos6179]

@annawolf3494 You're right. I got that wrong with Iberian languages. Veado and Venado come from a root meaning the hunted one. They are a different root from Viande in French.

[@adenauerlemos7926]

In fact, the Latin meaning was game meat to be transported as food on trips.

[@Luna_Gazer]

Vianda exists in portuguese but it translates to any tyoe of food

[@SinilkMudilaSama]

Vianda, viande, from Italian, Galician, comes from Latin vīvanda, which from Old Italic vivvandai means live or raw wood or live or raw meat, with the transformation of Latin vīvanda into Romanic viaanda or viaande, it became street or a vehicle that transports products, wood, meat, medicines, etc., which gives the city its commercial life.

For "house" the original word in French was "case" for "une case". But now this word is used for little houses made from wood... often used by fishmen or poor people. With time "case" got replaced by "maison" which is bigger and specifically a single house; not an appartment.

[@radiscalisation6194]

if i am not mistaken, "manoir" doesn't come from "main", but from the old french "manoir", a verb whose composed form "remanoir" gave "remain" in english : "to stay" thus the noun "manoir" is originally a place where you stay. "manoir" comes from a latin word indeed closer to the english "mansion", that got altered in vulgar latin and then evolved into "maison". so yeah, if you go further enough into the past, "manoir" and "maison" come from the same root.

Let's say to simplify and explain these differences that: Since the time of the Germanic invasions of Gaul in the 4th/5th century, France has been divided in two, to the north of the Loire, a Germanic influence and to the south of the Loire, a strong Latin heritage And just to further complicate things a little in the two languages ​​of Oc and Oïl a Celtic base. In the north langue d'oïl and in the south langue d'Oc (the two ways of saying "yes" in the Middle Ages. Current French words come from these two influences. Example: The Seine River in Celtic was called Sequana Poor quality meat = Carne (Latin) in the verb casanier=(the one who doesn't like leaving the house), we find the Latin casa in aquarelle and aquifère we find the Latin Aqua, which gave Aix in the middle ages, Eau in modern French.

"Viande" for meat do comes from latin! The latin "vivanda" (or vivenda), which means « what serves life ».

Differences between French and other Latin languages may come from the fact that the language comes from a vulgar Latin quite influenced by local Celtic languages and then by Germanic languages. Also the way of speaking as well as the "official" language comes rather from the north of France between the Paris region and the Loire Valley. It's little far from the Mediterranean rim. It is said that the place where French is best spoken is around the city of Tours. For the writing way.. So French grammar is quite old, it was made by pure scientific guys, everything is logical even if it's trigger foreigners and french people too... This is my only explanation 😅And finally, the last major reform of the language dates from 1878...

There have been celts before roman in Spain and Italy too. As well for germanic, after the fall of the roman empire germanic people took control of Spain (wisigoths, vandales) and Italy (Lombards, Ostrogoths, etc. It is not specific to France,

You are clearly missing the mark. French has been influenced at a greater extent by Celtic and Germanic languages than any other Romance languages.

@@fablb9006 According to many pundits, Celts in France have kept their language (gaulish dialects) until the 6th century. And the Gauls were very numerous. The situation was much different in Italy and Spain.

French was influenced strongely by greek and celtics idioms, Iberic and arabic too, comes from Latin, in last period of formation franks have a little influence in french 🥖🍟. The major influence in french comes from Gauls and Bretons forever.
