[/quote] [quote name='Didacus' post='1514916' date='Apr 30 2008, 06:54 AM']La langue prend racine directement de nos penser. Si nous disons 'ou est la toilette' nous cerchons une fonction biologizue commune a la majoriter d'entre nous. Si nous cherchons la salle des bains, nous cherchons a la fois la possibiliter d'une fonction biologique, mais aussi nous recherchons la fonction de se laver.[/quote] i am so glad i can read French. Your posts make up for all the times that i am around people speaking Spanish, and i have no idea what they are saying. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If I remember correctly one says Ou est la toilette? when referring to a bathroom at a say a restuarant. One says Ou est la salle de bain? when asking in a home because la salle de bain mean "with a bath or bathtub" I'm not all together sure though, but I believe that's the way I was taught to distinguish the use of the terms.

Vincent Vega Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Les noms des fruits sont mes favoris, car ils m'amusent. Vous sayez, comme l'anana, la pomplemousse, et cetera. J'aime aussi qu'il y a beaucoup de francophones ici! Nous avons besoin d'avoir sujets des conversations qui est completement en francais...

Vincent Vega Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 C'est le "grapefruit" en anglais (mais on l'ecrit avec une <<a>> - pamplemousse (désolé)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Yay Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 [quote name='praying4carmel' post='1514214' date='Apr 29 2008, 04:37 PM']Ouvre la fenetre...John XXIII That's my only french.. Now if I could say "Banyo" in French!! I KNOW Banyo is Not a Banana..However I dance like that when i need the Banyo!![/quote] I was about to tell a Hispanic couple after mass that they had a [i]beautiful banyo[/i], but since I wasn't sure what the Spanish word for [i]beautiful[/i] was, I opted against (and thank God, I [i]couldn't[/i] think of the word or I would have told them they had a beautiful men's bathroom instead of a beautiful baby girl!). I definitely agree that French is a romance language, and it does not sound Polish. I took French in high school and loved it. I've forgotten 90% of it, but when I start back at university next spring, I'll get to take some French courses! I remember things like [i]Je m'appelle Jenny[/i], but that's it! Weep!
