The French understand other Latin languages, but this is not reciprocal for a simple reason: modern French often uses specific sophisticated or complex expressions. This is why French seems weird to speakers of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian! However, "por favor" could be translated in French by "par faveur". It's very similar. So, French understand “por favor” very well. But standard French use the phrase "s'il vous plait" ("se le gusta"), specific to French only. And in Occitan, we say "vos pregui" (Le ruego).

“Si” also exists in French, but to emphasize the statement.

yes and latin "senior" (modern seigneur) gave both "Sieur" and "Sire" which are very old fashioned terms of address. Sire to very high ranked people, lords (gave english "Sir") and Sieur to address people of lesser social rank, ultimately gave Monsieur. Sire is not used unless you are reenacting historical context (movies...). So it's really not that far from the usage in other romance languages.

[@loopyprivate]

Comparison in the video leaves out etymology, sound shifts or how words like 'mon seigneur' got merged in French even if they came from the same latin words.

I don't understand what you are talking about: I'm Italian and I don't speak French but if I read it I understand almost everything (because the grammar and vocabulary are the closest to Italian, almost 90% similar, more than Spanish); if we talk about pronunciation, instead, the situation changes completely (Spanish is much easier).

The similarity of several languages is not determined by the way it sounds.

[@afjo972]

It definitely is different from other Romance languages. Just because it’s closer to Italian than Spanish is (only vocabulary-wise (because Spanish vocabulary was influenced by Arabs)) doesn’t mean that it’s completely like the other Romance languages. It’s by far the most „Germanic“ Romance languages. And that’s so obvious. France is literally named after a Germanic tribe, the Franks, so it’s just logical that their language left an impact on Old French. Indeed, the grammar is influenced by Frankish and so is the vocabulary as well as the intonation. The suffixes „-ard“ & „-aud“ and the prefix „-més“ are Germanic. French is the only romantic language in which personal pronouns must be used (Germanic influence) Unlike romance languages in Germanic languages words aren’t stressed on the last syllable, which is evident in French where some words were shortened to an extent that entire syllables just got lost, only because the first syllable was stressed (e.g. French âme - Latin anima)

[@Jean_Robertos]

@@afjo972 French is absolutely not germanic, there is a bit of vocabulary that comes from Frankish but in terms of grammar it's extremely limited, because the local populations kept speaking vulgar latin, they never spoke Frankish. French is definitely a romance language and an evolution of latin, with some influence from Germanic and celtic tribes, but really not that much. Having a little bit of influence on the vocabulary is not what makes a language family, otherwise spanish and arabic are in the same family and english is a romance language since an enormous proportion of their vocabulary directly comes from French. Saying that French is a mixed latin-germanic language is a false idea. All aspects of the French language are without any doubt evolutions of vulgar latin, in their vast majority.

From what I learned while taking French and later reading French History there is a reason why French is different than the other Romance languages. The southern part of France during Roman times had a lot of direct control from the Empire so Occitan French looks and sounds more Latin, Where as northern France had some influence but kept the Gaul sounds. Since the Northern part of France took control of the region, Modern France moved towards that style of language. Places like Italy, Spain, and Portugal all had a very strong Latin influence so that is why they did not drift too far from each other. Too bad you do not have someone from Romania who speaks that other ignored Romance language Romanian . it would be interesting to see the difference between it to the other more known languages.

Twinkle twinkle little star is an English song of the 19th century, sung with a French melody from the 18th century. The French version of the song has completely different lyrics, it's named "Ah ! vous dirai-je, maman", and the lyrics aren't about a little star in the sky, but rather about a girl telling her mom how she feels about love. Here are the lyrics translated from French : Ah! Shall I tell you, Mama, What causes my torment? Ever since I saw Silvandre Look at me so tenderly, My heart says every moment: "Can we live without a lover?" The other day, in a grove, He made a bouquet of flowers; He adorned my crook with it, Telling me: "Beautiful brunette, Flora is less beautiful than you; Love less enamoured than me. Being made to charm, One must please, one must love; It's in the spring of one's age That it is said one should commit. If you delay much longer, One regrets these moments." I blushed and unfortunately A sigh betrayed my heart. The cruel one skillfully Took advantage of my weakness: Alas, Mama! a misstep Made me fall into his arms. I had nothing to support me But my crook and my dog. Love, wanting my defeat, Put aside my dog and crook; Ah! That we taste sweetness, When love takes care of a heart!

The Franks were a Germanic people who spoke Frankish but adopted Latin, which transformed into the Francian language then French. French is a northern form of vulgar Latin heavily influenced by German, and specifically the Frankish germanic language spoken around northern France. In many ways French is closer to English than to other Romance languages like Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, Romanian, Romansh, etc. Old English or Anglo-Saxon was the language spoke in England before 1066. The Angles and Saxons were Germanic peoples who had earlier invaded England and took it over from the Celts (King Arthur, etc). When the Norman king Guillaume Le Conquerant took over England, Norman French (Normanish?) became the official language. Then, the Kingdom of France conquered Normandy, so the Norman kings no longer had a seat of power in Normandy, but in England. For hundreds of years, the aristocracy spoke French (+ Latin) while the the peasants spoke Anglo-Saxon, but eventually the languages merged into Middle English then Modern English. Le Morte De Arthur is a text written in Middle English just before it turned into Modern English (Shakespearean English). Notice that Sir Thomas Mallory got the gender of morte 'wrong' in is famous book.

But I’ve always known that “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” took its tune from French melody “Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman” 😅 But there’s even a French version of the English lullaby called “Brille, brille, petite étoile” which came later 😂 4:17 How come she didn’t mention that there’s also _si_ in French? It also means "yes" but said in response to a negative question or statement. I have to admit that I haven’t really mastered the usage of this French _si_ despite it being one of the first things they taught you in basic French lessons 😂 5:12 But actually _señor_ in Spanish and _signore_ in Italian is _sieur_ in French, but in French they add possessive determiner _mon_ so it became _monsieur_ which basically means something like “My sir” or “My lord” in English. 6:45 There’s actually _faveur_ in French but it’s not used like “Por favor” in Spanish or “Per favore” in Italian where they mean something like “As a favor” to have the meaning of “please” in English. “S'il vous plaît” or “S'il te plaît” actually means “If it pleases you” and if I’m not mistaken there’s something similar to this phrase in Catalan, but maybe Laura didn’t catch that. 8:11 Again, I used to think “Io ti amo” whenever I say “Ti amo” to make it easier for me to understand, and it’s basically the same word order with “Je t’aime” which is « I - you - love » 😁

Why "oui" is so differente from the other countries ? It's simple. There were a lot of regional languages and at some point, the King decided to unifite the country with only one. There were two main languages : La langue d'oïl and la langue d'oc (the language of oïl and the language of oc). The first was in the north, the second in the south. The king was in the north so he decided to choose the langue d'oïl. Oïl and Oc were two words to say "Yes". Oïl is the ancester of "oui". In the north, the langue d'oïl was closer that some german language like german, english. The langue d'oc was closer to Spain and Italy. The langue d'oc did survive as the Occitan. The Occitan is still used by old people and new generations in the south of France and the North of Spain in a region called : Occitanie.

Actually, in french, we have two "yes". We have the "oui" for example, Is your name Clara ? - Oui (it means my name is Clara) and we have "si" for example, You haven't seen this film, have you? - Si (it means I have seen this movie)

Linguists consider italian and french as closely related, due to historic reasons, whereas spanish, portuguese and romanian have stemmed from a more conventional, official way of speaking the latin language. In more recent times, the italian has switched to an eastern latin group, together with the romanian language. ... I assume that this bunch of charming ladies would never say anything about such boring matters.

[@WanderingPassports]

Yes, Italian and French do share more vocabulary than their Ibero-Romance brethren to the West, but the pronunciation of Portuguese and Spanish, especially Spanish, are far more similar to Italian than French is to Italian.

[@fablb9006]

« Oui » derives from the latin expression « hoc ille », which meant « that’s it » When « si » derives from the latin word « sic », which meant « so » These were both ways of saying « yes » in latin. Modern french used these both latins forms when other romance languages use only one.

[@Whillyy]

Also we also say "si" in french, but it's used exclusively in response to a negative sentence(either a question or an affirmation) For example: -Tu ne l'as pas fait !(you didn't do it !) -Si ! je l'ai fait (yes, i did it) You can say "oui" but the "si" emphases the fact that you want to say that you actually/really did it.

[@ChrysothemisJV]

Actually it's "hoc est" or "ille est" (hence the difference between langue d'Oc and langue d'Oïl), as "hoc" and "ille" are more or less synonyms. "Hoc ille" means "this this".

[@teebo_fr_en_it]

Hence "oc" or "oi(l)" depending on how various regions mangled the original Latin!

[@Mekkaloon]

Though, in daily language, you can find the latin "si" in french even if rare : "Tu mens là ?" => "Mais si, c'est vrai !!!"

[@teebo_fr_en_it]

Indeed, good observation! What's important to note here as well is that the 'Si' still expresses contradiction. And "si" is often used with "mais". T'as pas fait la vidange?!? Mais p...n si! @@Mekkaloon

French tend to drop the s, so pasta = pate, estrella = etoile, costa = cote, etc. Italian tend to drop the e, so stella = estrella, sposa = esposa, etc. French also tend to shift the leading or trailing consonant so pas d'something is now pronounced pad something, add liason and chute de e, French becomes very hard for the other latin folks to understand. Also, in French the verb endings are conjugated but not pronounced so can't drop the Je like how Yo, Io, and Eu can be dropped, so French people tend to say Je quite often.

Une belle vidéo et un concept extraordinaire mais quelques améliorations possibles pour des épisodes 2.0 : - Pourquoi mettre la française sur une chaise différente ??? ça représente une forme d'irrespect et c'est tout ce qu'on déteste quand on cherche l'impartialité dans les formes de langages - permettre à chaque intervenant(e) de s'exprimer davantage sur telle ou telle prononciation. pourquoi ils/elles font sonner telle ou telle syllabe, phonèmes ... - éviter à tout prix la hiérarchisation des langages au montage : miser sur la neutralité pour que le public puisse se faire son propre avis. - ajouter (oui c'est raide et couteux !) des locaux de chaque pays qui prononcent les mots des interlocuteurs/interlocutrices. Sinon, c'est vraiment superbe de faire ce genre de vidéo. C'est très enrichissant et ça prouve que nous vivons et partageons un monde d'une très grande diversité de communications.

French is also the most Germanic Romance language, because it came from the Franks, a Germanic tribe. You also can't ommit the personal pronouns in French. A typically Germanic trait. "Je vais". You can't just say "vais" without the "Je". Like in Spanish: "Yo voy" or simply "voy" when there's no need to emphasise who is doing the action. But French is a Romance language and a very beautiful one.

[@Mercure250]

Just to make it clear : The names "French" and "France" come from the Franks; the language itself doesn't, it comes from Latin, because that's the definition of "Romance language". (however, French has borrowed a lot from the Germanic languages). I'm not sure if that was what you meant, I just wanted to make it clear.

[@giloises]

Exactly, when they moved into ex Roman territory they adopted the Romance language that was spoken there, heavily influenced it and the mix of these two factors evolved into Old French and then into modern day French. Yep😊

For me , the most difficult in french is that they "eat" letters and syllabes at the end of the words😌✌🏻

[@FallenLight0]

The most difficult part of French is that the language is like english: Not phonetically consistent. You almost never read how it is written, unlike spanish and portuguese where you can read the way it is written 90% of the times and even if the pronounciation is different from what it is written if you try to read the way it is written people will understand you. In spanish and portuguese there are rules about how to pronounce words, in English and French it lacks rules, it is almost random, you can only see some few patterns. For example: Exceção in portuguese. People maybe don't know how to say correctly the "x" sound here and the "ção", but if you read the way you know, even it not being correct a portuguese speaker will understand.

[@synkaan2167]

@@FallenLight0 French is still pretty consistent if you know the rules but it's true that it's unnecessarily complicated, there is silent letter at the end of words etc.

[@mauriziobortolai7236]

Da Italiano è stranissimo che lo Spagnolo parlato sia così simile all Italiano ma difficilissimo da leggere quando è iscritto. Il Francese invece è difficile capirlo più che altro per la pronuncia stretta ma è facilissimo da leggere se scritto.

[@lafamilleerre7733]

Oui, c'est un étrange paradoxe. Si la langue française est difficilement compréhensible pour un italanophone, c'est peut-être dû aussi au rythme, aux accents et intonations. Sans compter les mots qui ne sont pas d'origine latine...

The Germanic influence in French is more or less the same in Italian. French sounds the way it sounds because of the Gaulish (Celtic) substratum.
