QI | What's 'Innuendo' in French?

[@marklandgraf7667]

I used to watch scooby doo on cool rainy days to make myself feel all warm and cozy. Now, I watch old QI episodes.

[@HeManForReal]

Watching this as a French dude felt like an out of body experience

[@JustinCase99999]

In French we use english words wrongly too. For instance "un parking" is a carpark, "un smoking" is a tuxedo.

[@dliessmgg]

Funny, we use exactly those two in German also.

[@Vincatura]

Well, carpark is a British term, Americans say parking lot. And originally there is/was such a thing as a smoking jacket, from which the dinner jacket/"tuxedo" (an American term) evolved.

[@IndoPersian1969]

The one I always had problems saying was "shampooing" for "shampoo". It just feels so wrong to me as an English speaker to say that!

[@PureGreggy]

@@Vincatura I think you're right. They've just shortened our gerunds not realizing (or probably caring) that it turns them into verbs and sounds very strange to English speakers

The Greek phrase "κάτι τρέχει στα γύφτικα" is pronounced as the capital parts of the words: CATerpillar-In TREble-HE STAmina GYpsy-niFTY-CAr (Catty trehe sta gyftyka) and it literally means "something going on in the gypsies' area/camp" actually used for saying "who gives a shit"

[@fuchsiafreud]

How's the cadence? with ´ being stressed, and - being unstressed syllable, is it like this: ' - '- - '- -? IE are the accents in the greek spelling stresses?

[@dimitrispikiokos6364]

There is no certain cadence, let alone for beginners in the Greek language...You only have to stress the vowels carrying the ' mark, the way you would in English for any word you might imagine (eg: nEighbor). There is no special pronunciation. Wherever I put the symbol - , it is just to separate the syllables, which would under no circumstance be heard in the oral form. The "spoken" result is closer to what I wrote in the parenthesis. I hope I covered what you asked for!

[@fuchsiafreud]

Dimitris Pikiokos I think so yes. I study philosophy and so I often have discussions about greek terms: kalokagathia, eudaimonia, phronesis, epoche etc. And so this phrase seens particularly suitable to whip out on occasion when the conversation becomes particularly dense.

[@dimitrispikiokos6364]

I would think it would be redundant to say Deutsche Mark. Unless there are is historically another Mark currency.

[@chrisoddy8744]

I was going to say, Mark/Pound is the currency name and Deutche/Sterling is the denominator for where it is used or what it is based on. This is particularly important given the myriad of different currencies all normally referred to as Dollars....! Hence why in common usage it drops the extra denominator because it's effectively redundant, but officially it exists to avoid confusion internationally/historically.

10 July 2002, Washington (DC) Post, “The Reliable Source” by Lloyd Grove, pg. C3: According to Timesman Jack Malvern, liberal politician Shirley Williams- also known as the Baroness Williams of Crosby -recently recounted to an audience in Brighton that “my good friend Tony Blair” told her the following anecdote: “Blair, Bush and [French President] Jacques Chirac were discussing economics and, in particular, the decline of the French economy. ‘The problem with the French,’ Bush confided to Blair, ‘is that they don’t have a word for entrepreneur.’” Alastair Campbell, Blair’s director of communications and strategy, who did his best to quash the story. “I can tell you that the prime minister never heard George Bush say that, and he certainly never told Shirley Williams that President Bush did say it,” Campbell told us. “If she put this in a speech, it must have been a joke.” So it's a "he say, she say".. On one side a respected reporter for a major publication, and on the other side the spin doctor for a man who lied to an entire nation. PS On reflection "entrepreneur", does seem far too long a word for Bush to understand.....

In Portugal we sometimes double down and adopt words from a foreign language but pronounce them as if they came from a second foreign language. A classic example is the use of the english word "ticket", but pronounced like the french "billet". Bonkers, I know.

Maybe not the best example because a simple search seems to show that ticket is in fact an old french word and they pronounce it like that too

[@ahorseinshorts]

@@nicknelson9450 Ah, quite interesting! Following your comment, I checked Larousse's dictionary of French, and indeed I found the word "ticket" there, but the entry also says the word comes from the english "ticket", which in turn would (somehow!) be derived from the french "étiquette". Pretty convoluted... I guess my original point still kind of holds then, since apparently the French borrowed the word from English. Found no mention of "ticket" being an Old French word, though.

[@karlr2908]

This was so enlightening

[@thomash2806]

The suffix ‘-ing’ has a life of its own in French. Almost no French word that uses it has the same meaning in English. I must disagree with the french for ‘encore’. After 25 years in France I have never heard ‘bis’ used in that way. At a gig the name of the encore, as in the song a band will play as an extra at the end, is ‘rappel’, but that is not what the audience shouts. In order to call the the group back to perform its ‘rappel’ (literally call-back) the audience simply shouts ‘une autre’. ‘Bis’ is used a lot in French, though. One example is in the expression ‘bis repetita’, to mean a repetition, or ‘more of the same’; ‘abs so on and so on’. Another is when there are two (or more) buildings with the same street number such as 28A and 28B (28C and so on). In French it’s 28 [semel] and 28 bis (28 ter, 28 quater, 28 quinquies, 28 sexies etc.).

[@thomash2806]

@@kouriiseriously? You’ve heard that at a concert? Where? When? How? Why? Dictionaries give a similar usage but I have never ever heard it used in that way. I think the difference may be that dictionaries seem to define it as a request for the SAME song or piece. An ‘encore’ on English or a ‘rappel’ in French is for another song or piece. Perhaps that’s why I’ve never heard it. I don’t believe I’ve been to a concert where people want the same song again. Why is why they shout ‘une autre’. By the way I am both French and English, studied languages, and have lived in France 27 years.

I've noticed that we seem to have odd rules in regards to the usage of Latin in our own language (keep in mind my knowledge of Latin is crap), just look at how we use basic numbers. it starts off going one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and then all of a sudden the next set of numbers contains elements from the numbers between one and four which is why we have TWelve and THiRteen, and then 14 just goes for the whole number 4 with "teen" on the end "FOURteen", then the pattern goes briefly back to normal with "FIfteen", and then the same thing that happened to fourteen also happens with SIXteen and SEVENteen, EIGHTeen is just taking the piss, and NINEteen follows the same pattern as the two numbers before eighteen before we finally get to Twenty where things start to make a bit more sense.

Wouldn't "innuendo" be a _cause_ of hemorrhoids, rather than a treatment? ;-) The history is interesting: it was originally borrowed from Latin as a fancy way of saying "to wit", but got its negative connotation from the fact that, over time, it morphed into something like modern American media's use of "allegedly" to introduce "derogatory _allegations_ that we're not going to say are *definitely* true because we don't want to be sued".

[@nikofloros]

hainsay literally it translates as "something is running with the Gypsies." In Greek "what's running" is a phrase equivalent to "what's up" in English. So essentially: "something is up with the Gypsies." But the meaning of the phrase is indeed, so what, or who cares. (Note: γύφτικα is an adjective so a more truely litteral translation would be "something's running with the gypsy [things]" where the lack of a noun attached to the adjective implys general things, could be shops, could be houses, could be cars, etc.
