Isn�t to enFrench a great word? What about to encat? What would that mean? Are you ever too old to flirt? |

As we have a "French" thread here I would like to ask native speakers of French: are there any other words where the letter x is pronounced as [ks]? I know Bruxelles and Luxembourg. Are there any others and why are they pronounced this way? Thanks in advance. |

Dear Sonn , X is pronounced [ks] in auxiliaire, textuel, boxeur, oxyg�ne, juxtaposer,
taxi , lynx and sphinx for example ...( just googled it !  )
X is pronounced [ks] when it is inside a word or - sometimes - when X is at the end of the word.
Isn�t Lynne �s post wonderful ? Shouldn�t we encat her ? Hum ?

Great subject ! Thank you Lynne. What about taking the French leave? Would that work with cats? I agree with Valdora, we should encat Lynne ! |

Maybe this is a good time to say thank you to everyone who participated, n�est-ce pas? And to TravellingHighandLow for giving us excellent examples of the Frenchification of English? Didn�t we do well? I am quite well encatted at the moment, with two lovely kitties, would you believe? Shall I now take French leave?  Uh-oh, it�s not French leave if I make it into a question.   Lynne xxx?

Everyone, hello! I think, that ENGLISH doesn�t become FRENCHIFIED. I think so, because THE FRENCH LANGUAGE IS ONE LANGUAGE, BUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS ANOTHER LANGUAGE. Yeah, both of these languages are in THE ROMANO-GERMANIC LANGUAGE GROUP, and their vocabulary is similar (i�m not sure, but there are about thirty- or fifty percent of THE FRENCH VOCABULARY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE). BUT THE GRAMMATIC OF THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH LANGUAGES IS DIFFERENT. Stay/Keep In Touch, Fedor. |

Let�s all be thankful we are no longer in a strict quarantine.
Or... should this be seen as a quarantaine issue? |

Do all the Frenchies here agree with Maryse? “IS FRENCH BECOMING MORE ENGLISHISED ?!!!!” I do! How many Frenchies have read "Honni soit qui mal y pense" by Henriette Walter? It’s a fantastic read about the incredible “love affair” between the French language and English. Fantastic exercise Lynne! Janet xxx |
