Trochę późno przyszłem na ten post, ale nie znaczy że nie mogę przyjść i skomentować
OUI, COMMENCONS AVEC LA LANGUE ET DES PETITES ROUES POUR LES PIEDS!!!
Just because the Americans are asleep doesn't mean the Australians learnt to speak other languages!
Heck, I'm not sure we've even got the hang of English half the time.
Pro tip: learning French and German nets you up to 75% better English skills.
Unless you’re Irish. Then your English stays the same and your Irish fluency decreases.
Yea, naur.
At least y'all can say this sentence
Can confirm, Baltimore has this southern adjacent accent with a northern twang.
That is a MASSIVE tongue twister for northern maryalnd
I thought we were calling the thing you speak Strayan!
Memes to moimois is freaking funny (me = moi in French)
Yes, we do that in German, too. Me=mich -> meme=Michmich.
According to someone from rance they do the moimoi-thing, too.
I had never seen it in comments from Quebecois, don't know if it's used on Reddit (where the community is actually active) and it's just too new... We already did literal translations of some things, like a post is a poteau (as in, a post that you plant in the ground to build a fence or to fix a mailbox to...), upvotes are positivotes... So why not moimois!
The use of moimoi is itself a meme.

Moimoiception en français!

I really thought meme originated from the French meme, meaning self. I thought ppl used it like me_irl, moi meme. I'm realizing this is based on nothing and I might have totally made it up.
imo the actual etymology is weirder
it was invented by richard dawkins in the selfish gene in the 1970s
it's used to describe an "idea-gene"; something that spreads and mutates not through biological means but through communication
like a mind-virus
hence why it sounds like a portmanteau of "memory" and "gene"
Damn am i the only one who knows that meme comes from "culture gene"?

I love waking up in the morning and seeing all the wackiness the rest of the world concocted.
Y'all are all have some amazing and funny cultures.
Bon matin France (Bon soir Quebec)
I'm supposed to be asleep?
Nice try, dweeb.
I wanna be asleep lol
Dat lijkt me een goed idee :)
Post dan een paar memes in het Nederlands
أتفق معك كل الإتفاق
I don't understand, it's 2am and my memes aren't in german, what's happening?
I'm pretty sure our insomniacs still outnumber the Europeans (At least on Lemmy)
Edit: I continued scrolling and maybe not. Keep seeing these things I don't understand. Well played.
Ja, lad os alle bande på dansk, svensk, norsk, og xhosa!
Look at the time, it's already french pickiness o'clock!
The correct way to phrase this is "pour poster des moimois dans toutes les langues".
Sorry, I had to, it's a cultural thing.
Eh, last time I spoke french was some 15± years ago, of course I had to make some mistake.
Mais merci pour la correction, sinon on n'apprend rien.
I miserably failed at german in school. You did way better than I would have done in your language ;).
