28 Hilarious Reasons Why The French Language Is The Worst

This cracked me up.

When you figure out France is trying to trigger you again.

great return

They are counting how many years left before they can go to uni and do dru- I mean study hard.

But it's pronounced 'kes ke say' a lot of French autograph has silent letters

Gosh! Imagine translating that Ariana Grande song into French!

The French version of "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

Not all french speaking countries count this way. Belgium and Switzerland still use, septante (70), huitante (80) and nonante (90)

"Go on and cry, you'll p**s less". Great! I will use it in italian

Gotta remember this line!

Singing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" must take forever!

I doubt dying feels that good.

Come on this is done in many many languages, it's just you English speakers who don't :D

Yep, same in Russian )

hilarious! the best one yet :)

Indonesian Javanese has 3 grades of language, and it's own written characters. So this chart is not complicated enough for me.

At Antioquia's Spanish (Medellín, not Pablo Escobar please), there are two different words for TU, each one with its rules.

Why I chose to be born into the English language

I've come to a very complicated way of doing this in my professionnal environnment. Most of my coworkers are in this public service, post-1968 corporate culture of saying "tu" to everyone from the moment you've worked with them. However I insist on saying a cold and distant "vous" to someone who is much higher than me in the hierarchy and I don't trust or feel acquaitanced with. Meanwhile I'm used to saying a polite and respectful "vous" to every visitor of the service I work in, be it an elder or a teenager. I only say "tu" to kids who are obviously under 12 (appearance must be deceptive though, kids nowadays tend to look like damn grown-ups and I have already said "vous" to 11 year-old girls). All of this results in absurd situations when for example a teenager I've been used to talk with "vous" suddenly comes to work in my service as a trainee and I magically start to say "tu" like I do with any of my 50 year-old coworkers.

*laughs in vietnamese*

....I actually need to save this. I know a lot of it, but I get tripped up on like co-workers and stuff.

This is hilarious!

Same in German... to add another language

In the Netherlands we have Jij/Je (normal) and U (polite)

my head is spinning

Makes sense to me, but I know many languages. English is the doozie...and it's my mother language!

Which is pretty common for many languages. In Chinese, 你 (sounds like "knee") as a normal "you", "您” (sounds like "nin" in "ninja") as a polite version of "you".

In China, is just "the aunty" is here.

Baguette magique

Yeah, let's talk about "laugh"

Actually more like "oil of nut of coco", or else French would be "huile de la noix du coco" whereas it's "huile de noix de coco". Makes sense.

Well, it's actually makes sense.

Don't worry they are just dumbing it down for beginners XD

Oh, you Americans always butcher the French language!

but then again he spelled it as "handfull". how we know if he meant handful or hand full? it's ok to be confused! ;)

Why ?

What's the matter with this one ? :o

I'm fairly certain that "breaking my balls" is also an English phrase. Not sure what country it originates from.

Until you meet "actually" "actuellement" "eventually" et "éventuellement" or dramatic/dramatique which ended with different meanings xD

Oui = yes in french + ja = yes in german = oui+ja = ouija. Sorry, mate

"Faire le con" doesn't mean to f**k. This means to be an a*s.

I don't get that one... Help, somebody ? (sorry, I'm french...)
