We must weaponize French pronunciation for the common good

est. éviter. écrasée. été. mangez.

(is. to avoid. crushed. summer. eat (2nd plural pronoun))

here's the most commonly used accent in French, and one of the most common sounds of the language: é !

- can be seen as most importantly as: é / er / est / ez

- it sounds like an English "eh".

- something to keep in mind is that the è accent is often (mis)pronounced é, when speaking fast, or by southerners in general. So you can find -ai/-ais/-aient and more, pronounced as é instead of è. The substition works for most words, but not all. Some aren't recognizable when a switch is made, for example with the word for Father: Père. If you change that è for an é, it'll sound very weird and unfamiliar. But for Broom: Balai, everyone would understand you if you pronounced that -ai é instead of è. So it's a matter of learning through listening to natives talk, to know when it's okay to switch or not.

#more Mustachio'd angle under the cut #this is one of those pokémon that my brain has only ever read and for some reason decided to say in the most bizarre way possible #i know how it's obviously supposed to be pronounced but for some reason my brain has come up with the pronunciation #[sɑ̃.t͡si.'skoʁʃ]. which is my best approximation of the way that i say it in my head #it's a very french way of saying it. but i think i've talked about how my brain just chooses a language to say pokémon's names in #centiskorch #thank you nose rater for reminding me to tag this one

I had a dream that you revealed Machete's real name, and it was still Machete but pronounced "mah-hee-yet" or "mah-hee-yay", depending on how french the speaker was

.

#DEPENDING ON HOW FRENCH THE SPEAKER WAS #beautiful #people occasionally ask me how his name is supposed to be pronounced #and the simple answer is that he's nicknamed after the big knife so you can just say it the same way it's not a big deal #also I'm not going to be there to hear you so I don't really care too terribly much #I say it how it reads in Finnish which is pretty far from the English pronunciation #but is coincidentally relatively close to the original Spanish one which is a reasonably lore friendly option #answered #anonymous #mah-hee-yay

Hello! I remember seeing an ask about reader rambling about their hyperfixations, and it was mentioned Nightmare is listening even if he doesn't look like it.

If you're up to answering, what if the reader assumed he truly wasn't listening and stopped rambling to him? Nothing against him, reader just not wanting to be a bother. Whether you answer or not, thank you for reading and have a nice day! :]

He will ask a leading question that has to do with what you were talking about to get you going again. "So if the Oratrice mécanique d'analyse cardinale is technically a formal twelve-syllable poem, why do you keep saying it in a set of three?"

Foolish interacting with the Spanish speakers is so funny to me because on one hand. He’s made so much progress with Leonarda (and is one of the only English speakers on the server I’ve seen really TRY with Spanish?) to the point where he can read signs not meant for him and foil pranks from her.

On the other hand, he can be surrounded by only Spanish speakers and he will not stop saying idioms and phrases and a million other untranslatable things. He makes no effort to change how he speaks for them and it is so funny

#foolish once again rocking the himbo/smartest guy in the room sleeper build #the himbo title in itself makes me a little uncomfy bc like stop calling him stupid. but he accepts it and thinks it’s funny #PLUS it makes his insanely clever moments even better #anyways foolish being practically the only English speaker on the multilingual server to attempt the multilingualism makes me so proud #he even tried some pronunciation with the French in the beginning. which yes was mostly for funnies but still!! #foolish gamers #foolishg #qsmp

thinking about how if Jean ever went back to Marseille (which i don't think he'd do unless it's for/in relation to E) that he'd get bullied by his fellow french folks because of his accent. not only would Jeremy be hauling him through Charles de Gaulle after some uncultured Parisian dared to insult his Marseille accent (he may not speak french, but he's all too familiar with what Jean insulting someone sounds like), but once he got to Marseille they'd reject him too. five+ years away from anyone who spoke french besides Kevin and Neil and their atrocious accents, where japanese and then english were embedded into his brain did him no favors. when he speaks his mother tongue it's recognizable, but his accent is no longer his and it's something else he has to come to terms with losing to the Moriyamas

#anyway the only reason kevin can understand neil and vice versa is bc they both have fucked pronunciation #you cannot change my mind #i doubt tetsuji and riko let him speak french without repercussions #hence him teaching kevin in secret #tbh kevin doing that would've been one of those little things that kept him going alll those years without either of them fully realizing it #tsc spoliers #jean moreau #jeremy knox #jerejean #aftg #headcanon #mine #tsc #the sunshine court

In the audio: Connu | chute | mur | sûr

this is the sound of the letter "u" in French, which I simply write as /u/ in the pronounciation part of the posts.

Accents on the U:

- "û" : the sound doesn't change. like in "sûr" here, /u/. Other examples: "mûres", "brûler",

- "ù" : used in the /oo/ sound written this way "où". You don't pronounce the "u", only the /oo/ sound.

- "ou" /"où" / "oû" and other variations starting with "ou" : this is another sound altogether, /oo/. The "u" is not pronounced there.
