It would definitively make it much more interesting! Although Romanian would be the weird one very often, sometimes because Romanian comes from a different branch of Vulgar Latin (Eastern, while the other Romance languages come from Western, except for Southern Italian dialects), sometimes from the word having a Slavic background.

yes and latin "senior" (modern seigneur) gave both "Sieur" and "Sire" which are very old fashioned terms of address. Sire to very high ranked people, lords (gave english "Sir") and Sieur to address people of lesser social rank, ultimately gave Monsieur. Sire is not used unless you are reenacting historical context (movies...). So it's really not that far from the usage in other romance languages.

Comparison in the video leaves out etymology, sound shifts or how words like 'mon seigneur' got merged in French even if they came from the same latin words. And it ignores how written form of these languages are mostly intelligible. It's superficial at best and doesn't even answer its own question.

“Si” also exists in French, but to emphasize the statement. "Oui" is a distortion of "Hoc illi est" (that's it, in Latin), "Hoc ill", then "o il" in Old French, "oui" finally in modern French, while Occitan simply shortened "Hoc illi est" in "Hoc", written "òc" in modern Occitan. Obviously, as in French, the "si" also exists in Occitan to emphasize the affirmation.

« Oui » derives from the latin expression « hoc ille », which meant « that’s it » When « si » derives from the latin word « sic », which meant « so » These were both ways of saying « yes » in latin. Modern french used these both latins forms when other romance languages use only one.

Also we also say "si" in french, but it's used exclusively in response to a negative sentence(either a question or an affirmation) For example: -Tu ne l'as pas fait !(you didn't do it !) -Si ! je l'ai fait (yes, i did it) You can say "oui" but the "si" emphases the fact that you want to say that you actually/really did it.

The French understand other Latin languages, but this is not reciprocal for a simple reason: modern French often uses specific sophisticated or complex expressions. This is why French seems weird to speakers of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian! However, "por favor" could be translated in French by "par faveur". It's very similar. So, French understand “por favor” very well. But standard French use the phrase "s'il vous plait" ("se le gusta"), specific to French only. And in Occitan, we say "vos pregui" (Le ruego).

The thing is that French is NOT different. Only the phonology is really special, which makes it SOUND different. But in the grammatical aspects and vocabulary it's ultra similar to other romance languages. French is closer to Italian than Spanish to italian for exemple. The similarity of several languages is not determined by the way it sounds. I'm French, I never took one single italian or romanian class, but in the written form I understand a lot from them and it would be really easy to learn them. Spanish is super easy to me and since I study a slavic language (polish) that is totally different, I realised even more how French was similar to Spanish in terms of grammar, syntax, structure.

It definitely is different from other Romance languages. Just because it’s closer to Italian than Spanish is (only vocabulary-wise (because Spanish vocabulary was influenced by Arabs)) doesn’t mean that it’s completely like the other Romance languages. It’s by far the most „Germanic“ Romance languages. And that’s so obvious. France is literally named after a Germanic tribe, the Franks, so it’s just logical that their language left an impact on Old French. Indeed, the grammar is influenced by Frankish and so is the vocabulary as well as the intonation. The suffixes „-ard“ & „-aud“ and the prefix „-més“ are Germanic. French is the only romantic language in which personal pronouns must be used (Germanic influence) Unlike romance languages in Germanic languages words aren’t stressed on the last syllable, which is evident in French where some words were shortened to an extent that entire syllables just got lost, only because the first syllable was stressed (e.g. French âme - Latin anima)

@@afjo972 French is absolutely not germanic, there is a bit of vocabulary that comes from Frankish but in terms of grammar it's extremely limited, because the local populations kept speaking vulgar latin, they never spoke Frankish. French is definitely a romance language and an evolution of latin, with some influence from Germanic and celtic tribes, but really not that much. Having a little bit of influence on the vocabulary is not what makes a language family, otherwise spanish and arabic are in the same family and english is a romance language since an enormous proportion of their vocabulary directly comes from French. Saying that French is a mixed latin-germanic language is a false idea. All aspects of the French language are without any doubt evolutions of vulgar latin, in their vast majority.

From what I learned while taking French and later reading French History there is a reason why French is different than the other Romance languages. The southern part of France during Roman times had a lot of direct control from the Empire so Occitan French looks and sounds more Latin, Where as northern France had some influence but kept the Gaul sounds. Since the Northern part of France took control of the region, Modern France moved towards that style of language. Places like Italy, Spain, and Portugal all had a very strong Latin influence so that is why they did not drift too far from each other. Too bad you do not have someone from Romania who speaks that other ignored Romance language Romanian . it would be interesting to see the difference between it to the other more known languages.

Y'a aucune règles de français qui nous oblige à répondre SI à une question négative. La seule règles en français qui englobe le SI c'est le faite qu'il n'aime pas les Rais.

Modern French is a Latin language spoken with a Germanic accent (the Franks were Germanic) which has slowly evolved to be quite close to Latin, while differentiating itself from other Germanic accents (English, Dutch, German...). That's why it's so unique. It resembles neither the Germanic accent of northern Europe nor the Latin accent of southern Europe, and at the same time it sounds a little like both :)

Twinkle twinkle little star is an English song of the 19th century, sung with a French melody from the 18th century. The French version of the song has completely different lyrics, it's named "Ah ! vous dirai-je, maman", and the lyrics aren't about a little star in the sky, but rather about a girl telling her mom how she feels about love. Here are the lyrics translated from French : Ah! Shall I tell you, Mama, What causes my torment? Ever since I saw Silvandre Look at me so tenderly, My heart says every moment: "Can we live without a lover?" The other day, in a grove, He made a bouquet of flowers; He adorned my crook with it, Telling me: "Beautiful brunette, Flora is less beautiful than you; Love less enamoured than me. Being made to charm, One must please, one must love; It's in the spring of one's age That it is said one should commit. If you delay much longer, One regrets these moments." I blushed and unfortunately A sigh betrayed my heart. The cruel one skillfully Took advantage of my weakness: Alas, Mama! a misstep Made me fall into his arms. I had nothing to support me But my crook and my dog. Love, wanting my defeat, Put aside my dog and crook; Ah! That we taste sweetness, When love takes care of a heart!

2:41 Maybe it’s because I’m a foreigner (Indonesian) who’s learning all these Romance languages (French, Italian, and Spanish) except for Portuguese, it’s easy to tell that saying “Je m’appelle…” is basically the same thing as “Mi chiamo…” and “Me llamo…” because it just means something like “I call myself…” 🤷‍♂️ When I first started learning Italian word order, I used to make a mental note to think “Io mi chiamo…” whenever I say “Mi chiamo…” so that it made more sense to me 😁 3:17 Whaaat? But I’ve always known that “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” took its tune from French melody “Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman” 😅 But there’s even a French version of the English lullaby called “Brille, brille, petite étoile” which came later 😂 4:17 How come she didn’t mention that there’s also _si_ in French? It also means "yes" but said in response to a negative question or statement. I have to admit that I haven’t really mastered the usage of this French _si_ despite it being one of the first things they taught you in basic French lessons 😂 5:12 But actually _señor_ in Spanish and _signore_ in Italian is _sieur_ in French, but in French they add possessive determiner _mon_ so it became _monsieur_ which basically means something like “My sir” or “My lord” in English. 6:45 There’s actually _faveur_ in French but it’s not used like “Por favor” in Spanish or “Per favore” in Italian where they mean something like “As a favor” to have the meaning of “please” in English. “S'il vous plaît” or “S'il te plaît” actually means “If it pleases you” and if I’m not mistaken there’s something similar to this phrase in Catalan, but maybe Laura didn’t catch that. 8:11 Again, I used to think “Io ti amo” whenever I say “Ti amo” to make it easier for me to understand, and it’s basically the same word order with “Je t’aime” which is « I - you - love » 😁

Why "oui" is so differente from the other countries ? It's simple. There were a lot of regional languages and at some point, the King decided to unifite the country with only one. There were two main languages : La langue d'oïl and la langue d'oc (the language of oïl and the language of oc). The first was in the north, the second in the south. The king was in the north so he decided to choose the langue d'oïl. Oïl and Oc were two words to say "Yes". Oïl is the ancester of "oui". In the north, the langue d'oïl was closer that some german language like german, english. The langue d'oc was closer to Spain and Italy. The langue d'oc did survive as the Occitan. The Occitan is still used by old people and new generations in the south of France and the North of Spain in a region called : Occitanie.

Actually, in french, we have two "yes". We have the "oui" for example, Is your name Clara ? - Oui (it means my name is Clara) and we have "si" for example, You haven't seen this film, have you? - Si (it means I have seen this movie)

@@glurp1er The language of Oc and Oïl were both language built on other older languages and latin (and it's not just one language but a group of dialects) Oc with Celtic and Bascoide, Oïl with other Celtic dialects like Gaulish. Why they didn't use "si" as "oui/yes" ? Hard to tell. But an another language existed where "si" was used. Like I said, the North of France was under influence of Germany languages.

For the difference perceived between estrella -> étoile, it just comes from French dropping a lot of s at some point in it's history. And that's actually why the accents on some letter are coming from : estoile -> étoile. The accent is there to signal the s being gone. As for why it was deemed important to put some reminder of a letter not being there nor used anymore. Not a clue.

There's actually a pronunciation difference, "etoile" without an accent could potentially be read something like "eutoile", just like how "revenir" is not "révenir". The accent just helps to clarify the pronunciation, it's not just a reminder of a lost letter. As for "ê" in words like "fête" (formerly "feste"), there are certain dialects that do pronounce it differently from "é" or "è" (like in Belgium or Quebec). So for example, "fête" is different from "faite" in those dialects. If I'm not mistaken, however, most dialects in France lost that distinction.

@DonAntoniouu

@@user-kh9lh1ez5u Classical Latin did not have only one lexical item for ‘yes’. Instead, speakers of Latin tended to employ a rich combination of words and expressions. Among these were sic, ita, vero, as well as merely repeating a phrase in full (Buck & Hale 1903, 137).4 In Late Latin, it appears that the word sic reached a level of predominance (Pucci & Harrington 1997, 11),5 setting the stage for the current usage of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French.6 Latin sic did survive into Romanian with arguably an even greater prevalence, becoming the basic conjunction şi, ‘and’ (Ciorănescu 2003, 713). Because of their similarity in form and meaning, an etymological derivation of Romanian da from Latin ita would seem an intriguing possibility. The evolution of ita into da could have followed two routes. Though not represented in the orthography, Late Latin seems to have undergone a general voicing of intervocalic consonants, though the Romance languages outside the Iberian Peninsula subsequently experienced a significant degree of regression from this voicing (Cravens 1996, 65-66). As such, an intermediate form ∗ ida likely existed at least in pronunciation. While Romanian experienced an almost total devoicing, sporadic preservation of voicing is attested.7 This would, however, leave the question of why Romanian would atypically preserve the voicing in this particular word. An explanation for this atypical preservation could be found in the relative frequency of ‘yes’ in any language. The so-called «frequency effect» can result in relatively rapid evolution of lexical items which are in common use (Bybee 2001, 11). Further, given the overall economy of language, there is a tendency toward ease in pronunciation, especially in frequently produced lexical items (Zipf 1929). Voiced consonants are relatively shorter than their unvoiced counterparts,8 thus anticipating a preference for preserving voicing within frequently used words. The loss of the initial vowel in the hypothetical ∗ ida is more predictable. In the stage of Classical Latin, the word ita shifted the accent to the final syllable when the word received enclitic elements.9 This could have resulted in a move toward final accentuation overall. The loss of unaccented initial vowels in Romanian, though not universal, is regularly attested. 4.2 ita > *ta > da Another possible route from ita to da would be to posit loss of the initial vowel prior to voicing. While not an ordinary development in Romanian, sporadic voicing of initial stops is also attested.11 The same argument regarding voicing of frequently used words would also apply to this case. 4.3 Latin ita > Romanian da possible but improbable The evolution of Latin ita into Romanian da can be demonstrated as phono￾logically possible. Nevertheless, the posited intermediate forms are unattested. Additionally, the proposed development appeals more to exceptions to rules than to regularly observed tendencies in Romanian. Without further evidence, there would be no compelling reason to question the assumed Slavic origin of Roma￾nian da. What will shift this balance, however, is the demonstration that Latin ita has indeed survived in Romanian as da -in another form. 5 Romanian dacă = if Romanian is alone among the Romance languages in discontinuing use of Latin si = if; Romanian se (să) was replaced by dacă, first in temporal clauses and eventually in all conditional clauses (Roques 1907, 825-839). 5.1 The traditional etymology of dacă Within the earliest recorded Romanian the alternative forms deca, déca, and deaca are also in currency.12 This directed lexicographers to an assumed et￾ymology of the item from Latin ∗de quod or ∗de ad quod. 13 The form dacă has been explained as an evolution from what are assumed, on the basis of the proposed etymology, to be the original forms (Rosetti 1983, 121-122). A problem with deriving dacă from ∗de quod / ∗de ad quod is that neither of these particular combinations is attested in Latin, even during the Medieval period. While it is not impossible for an otherwise unattested combination of words to have existed, an etymology citing attested forms would be preferable. 10E.g., Latin excadere > Rom. scadea; Latin excambiare > Rom. schimba. Initial î is also ordinarily dropped by elision to other elements (Andersen 1986, 553). 11E.g., Latin crassus > Romanian gras (Dimitrescu 1978, 177); Latin ∗cavula > Rom. gaura (Ciorănescu 2003, 355). 12All of which are attested in the early years of the 17th Century (Gheţie & Mareş 1974, 89). 13See Gheţie & Mareş (1974, 88) and Cihac (1879, 32). c Romania Minor www.romaniaminor.net/ianua/ A Latin etymology for Romanian da = yes 97 5.2 A new proposal for a Latin source of Romanian dacă One feature of Late Latin is the replacement of ut by quod in subordinate clauses (Pucci & Harrington 1997, 38). For result clauses specifically, the compound ita quod = ‘so that’ became common. The combination ita quod is abundantly attested and enjoys a stable life within Latin throughout the Medieval period. As a bound pair, they came sometimes to be spelled as a single word, itaquod. 14 Employing the same phonological shifts proposed above, itaquod would pro￾duce the form dacă in Romanian.15 In addition to providing an etymology for dacă from an attested form, ita quod, like dacă, is also observed to evolve in the direction of a conditional particle. Intriguingly, at virtually the same time dacă in Romanian is beginning to supplant si, Francis Bacon, in a legal discussion, compares clauses introduced by Latin ita quod and si. He notes that, while ita quod ordinarily governs a subsequent conditional clause and si a precedent conditional clause, those categories can blur: ... these words, ita quod and si, howsoever in propriety the ita quod may seem subsequent and the si precedent, yet they both bow to the sense. [In the clause si ipse vellet habitare et residens esse:] there the word si amounts to a condition subsequent, for he could not be resident before he took the state; and so via versa may ita quod be precedent, for else it must be idle and void. (Bacon 1861, 82-83) While the forms déca, deca and deaca are indeed early, the specific form dacă is attested in the very earliest records for Romanian, appearing in a letter of Cyrillic orthography dated 1581 (Hasdeu 1878, 29). The forms déca, deca, and deaca could themselves have been regional varia￾tions. Folk etymology assuming a link between dacă and the preposition de may have resulted in a sporadic realization of the word with these alternative pronun￾ciations. At any rate, the emergence of dacă as the standard form throughout all of the Romanian dialects suggests that, in addition to as great a claim for antiquity, it always enjoyed the wider distribution. 6 The invisible da in early Romanian The demonstration that ita quod provides a possible source for Romanian dacă puts the potential etymology of da from ita on a firmer footing. But if that is so, then da resided in the language for about two hundred years before appearing in literary record. This is not, however, an uncommon phenomenon. In the case of Romanian, there had been somewhat scanty orthographic evidence for the language prior to the period in which da allegedly «appears» as a presumptive Slavic borrowing. The earliest records for the Romanian language were, by definition, from the more educated registers. If da, even as a borrowing, were a 14E.g., «Itaquod in omni eventu valeat...» (‘So that it might be valid in any event’), from a letter written in the year 1263 by Beatrice of Savoy (Viard 1942, 132-134). 15For Latin quod > Rom. că, see Cihac (1879, 32) and Ciorănescu (2003, 130). Ianua 8 (2008) ISSN 1616-413X 98 Keith Andrew Massey more colloquial term, it could have been a part of the language long before it first appears in writing.16 The relatively late appearance of da does not, then, exclude the possibility that the word has a Latin origin but remained unattested in Romanian until a late date. 7 Conclusion It is unfortunate that the development of the Romanian language is so obscured by scanty record. As a result, many etymologies will never be proven conclusively. In the present case, I have demonstrated that phonological developments could explain how a word for yes in Latin, ita, would produce in Romanian the form da. By the same token, Romanian dacă finds a more satisfactory etymology in the Latin compound conjunction ita quod. Even though da itself does not appear until late in recorded Romanian, the word could have been a more colloquial affirmation up to that point. It is even possible that Latin ita, preserved as da in Romanian, eventually emerged as the standard affirmation in Romanian under the influence of the Balkan milieu. In this case, the Slavic word of identical phonology and semantics does not so much replace a Romanian word as draw out a legitimate Romance word from a substandard register. It is unlikely that further epigraphical evidence will shed any more light on the topic. But a Latin source for this basic word is at least a plausible op

The way the words had been carefully shoosen seemed to be very oriented with the goal of spreading the idea that french is totally different to all other romance languages. That is not very fair actually. And it lacks the explanation on these shosen words that things can also be said differently in french For exemple : « si » also exist in french to say yes. It must be said « si » to answer to a negative question. We say « seigneur » to refer to señor/signore when used in the meaning of « lord » If we translate « por favor / per favore / ect. » word for word it makes « par faveur », which is almost the same and makes other romance very transparent. It is just that we generally do not use it in the situation of saying « please » nowadays and prefer the expression « s’il vous plait », which, by the way, is also used in various other romance languages like occitan, catalan, and probably other dialects in northern Italy.

You almost never read how it is written, unlike spanish and portuguese where you can read the way it is written 90% of the times and even if the pronounciation is different from what it is written if you try to read the way it is written people will understand you. In spanish and portuguese there are rules about how to pronounce words, in English and French it lacks rules, it is almost random, you can only see some few patterns. For example: Exceção in portuguese.

French does not sound unlike latin languages. Its phonetics is quite similar to Portuguese: liaisons, nasal sounds, French R, things that Spanish and Italian don't have. Even in Grammar they have similarities that differ from Spanish and Italian, for example questions with EST-CE QUE (in Portuguese, É QUE). We ommit the R at the end of words, and we don't speak plural forms. S between vowels sounds as Z in both languages too (not in IT or ES). and we are among latin languages with the greatest amount of verb tenses (Portuguese slightly more than French). and in ancient Portuguese we would vouvoyer/tutouyer too. Thing is that Portuguese has no hype. So people usually forget about it, or simplify claiming to be "similar to Spanish", what is quite superficial statement.

The French language was born around the 9th century from a mixture of Latin, Germanic language and Frankish. That's why it sounds different from other roman languages

French is so different from the other latin languages because the of the stronger influence of the germanic language of the franks on the langue d'oil of northern france (and not so much influence on the langue d'oc in southern France). The homeland of frankish invaders was a region between modern Nederlands and Germany, so they naturally had much more influence in northern France, where they first invaded. Also, the version of this langue d'oil spoken in the paris region (and its surroundings) happened to be chosen as standard french. If the french kings had chosen langue d'oc (eg: occitan) as the standard language of the kingdom, this "french" would be much closer to the other latin languages (actually, very close to catalan).

Sardinian is therefore the language that has remained closest to Latin, while French is the language that has evolved most from Latin.

Yes because to me in comparison to the other main Romance languages, Portuguese from Portugal sounds like a kind Polish to me :) If you don't believe me, try to hear both.

Le territoire originel des francs est Belgica. Peut être que ce sont les français qui parlent belge :)

We definitely have the rythm of "twinkle, twinkle, little star". It’s "Ah, vous dirais-je Maman". I also join the other comments: I was expecting a Romanian speaker. It would even have been more different sometimes!

Also anybody who's seen the French version of "Honey, I blew up the kid" knows we can sing "Brille, brille petite étoile, je me demande où est ton voile..." too and it works (Chérie, j'ai aggrandi le bébé, 1992). 😅 But yeah the traditional French lyrics are "Ah vous dirais-je Maman, ce qui cause mon tourment. Papa veut que je raisonne comme une grande personne. Moi je dis que les bonbons valent mieux que la raison".

3:52 “A little star” is literally “une petite étoile” in French. If we had to make up a cute word to describe a little star, like “estrellita” in Spanish, it would be “étoilette”.

2:36 that Brazilian girl is definitely not very savvy when it comes to languages. Otherwise she wouldn’t exaggerate as she does. Cuz in that case French is quite similar to the other languages. The verb appeller in Je m‘appelle comes from the Latin verb appellare which means to call. In Italian (chiamare), Spanish (llamar) and Portuguese (chamar) they use forms of the Latin verb clamare which also means to call. So it means literately the same

If you need to dig into the historic context/origin of a word in order to understand it, then it proves the point that said word is NOT intelligible to other Romance speakers lol... appelle, appellare remind me of "apelar" (to appeal, to request assistance) not chamar, "to call"

The Franks were a Germanic people who spoke Frankish but adopted Latin, which transformed into the Francian language then French. French is a northern form of vulgar Latin heavily influenced by German, and specifically the Frankish germanic language spoken around northern France. In many ways French is closer to English than to other Romance languages like Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, Romanian, Romansh, etc. Old English or Anglo-Saxon was the language spoke in England before 1066. The Angles and Saxons were Germanic peoples who had earlier invaded England and took it over from the Celts (King Arthur, etc). When the Norman king Guillaume Le Conquerant took over England, Norman French (Normanish?) became the official language. Then, the Kingdom of France conquered Normandy, so the Norman kings no longer had a seat of power in Normandy, but in England. For hundreds of years, the aristocracy spoke French (+ Latin) while the the peasants spoke Anglo-Saxon, but eventually the languages merged into Middle English then Modern English. Le Morte De Arthur is a text written in Middle English just before it turned into Modern English (Shakespearean English). Notice that Sir Thomas Mallory got the gender of morte 'wrong' in is famous book.

Its actually actually worse than that. french not only has heavy germanic influence (they cry all the time when you mention that) but also celtic influence as the french are a majority celtic country from the gauls.

There should be a Romanian speaker now that would be interesting.

France is borded by a lot of different countries. Of course we went through the roman empire era, so our langage is mainly coming from it... but we had british/celtic as well a saxons people and before we were gaulois... a lot of different dialects and influences gave us our current langage. A shame the new generations don t learn it properly.

I don't speak French by Je m'appelle sounds to me something like the Italian "io mi appello", appellare in Italian means "to nominate/to name". So it's pretty understandable. It's basically the same of "Io mi chiamo".
