[21:25] Gwy will take over for a bit, and tell you about French weekdays and months [21:25] ouch [21:25] right [21:25] well [21:25] french month names are similar to english [21:25] (which, i hope, makes you feel good..) [21:25] j/k [21:25] january, february = janvier, fevrier [21:25] march, april = mars, avril [21:26] "john-vee-ay" [21:26] "fehv-ree-ay" [21:26] may, june = mai, juin [21:26] Mars is mars like, the planet [21:26] "ahv-reel" [21:26] yeah, all 'j's would be pronounced with the 'pleasure' [21:27] may is still may, just "mai" [21:27] pronounce it you would hte english month [21:27] july, august = juillet, août [21:27] if that rig doesn't show up, august = aout [21:27] there is an [21:27] "jsh-wan" [21:28] well [21:28] item on that [21:28] "jsh-wee-ay" [21:28] wha? [21:28] joo [21:28] whoops [21:28] aout is sort of ay-oo melded together [21:28] n'est-ce pas? [21:28] yeah [21:29] september, october, november, december = septembre, octobre, novembre, decembre [21:29] Let's touch on that [21:29] re = er [21:29] er [21:29] n'est-ce pas? usually ends a sentence in which a person wants to confirm what they just said [21:29] well, er = re [21:29] brb phone call [21:29] n'est-ce pas? = isn't that right? [21:29] so for example [21:29] I would say [21:30] That Kabutops can easily kill Fearow with a Rock Slide, n'est-ce pas? [21:30] Back [21:30] yeah [21:30] "osm't it [21:30] i mean [21:30] isn't it [21:30] So [21:30] wb love [21:30] the months are pretty much the same between eng. and french, they merely require a bit of [21:30] memorisation [21:30] not a lot [21:30] thanks [21:30] the days of the week take a little more though; they are [21:31] yeah, I never would've remembered them all :P [21:31] Monday: Lundi [21:31] Tuesday: Mardi [21:31] Watch out, [21:31] Wednesday: Mercredi [21:31] Yeah [21:31] an important note [21:31] It's not Lundi like Laundry [21:31] Neither the months [21:31] or the days [21:31] should be capitalised [21:31] the UN in laundy [21:31] unlike english [21:31] laundry [21:32] or whatever [21:32] i just mean emphasis [21:32] :P [21:32] but to actually use [21:32] Lundi = "Luhrdi" [21:32] loondey sort of [21:32] to actually use, they are lower case [21:32] anyway, sorry about the interruption [21:32] Thursday: Jeudi [21:32] Friday: Vendredi [21:32] Whenever you say a "C" like in "mercredi" [21:33] you must put a roll on it [21:33] Saturday: Samedi [21:33] "mer kred ee" [21:33] Sunday: Dimanche [21:33] all ending in 'di,' except sunday, for some reason, i believe 'di' used to be 'day' or some such word but now that is just 'jour' [21:33] mer' [21:34] ack [21:34] Uhm [21:34] *** Maxrpg sets mode: -m [21:34] Everyone getting it so far?

[21:36] Believe it or not [21:37] All the nouns in French have "gender" prefixes [21:37] like for example [21:37] un pont = a bridge [21:37] un = male [21:37] une = female [21:37] So [21:37] I would point to the table you're sitting at and say [21:38] YOu have an "un cahier" on your desk [21:38] (which is a notebook) [21:38] and your notebook is male [21:38] (which makes for some weirdness :P) [21:39] un stylo. un crayon = pen, pencil [21:39] yeah, usually it does not mean actually masculine or feminine (except obviously in case of man or woman, etc).. [21:39] yes [21:40] i don't really know exactly what it is supposed to mean or how it developed anyway, but it is important [21:40] to use [21:40] Time for numbers! [21:40] a weird thing: [21:41] personne, apparently, is feminine [21:41] un nom feminin [21:41] soo [21:41] anyway [21:41] UN [21:42] Un = 1 [21:42] Deux = 2 [21:42] if you have taken those tests in french classes where you listen to a tape [21:42] Trois = 3 [21:42] they always go [21:42] UNHHH [21:42] Yeah [21:42] I don't know why [21:42] Quatre = 4 [21:42] Cinq = 5 [21:42] to make you know which it is, i guess, [21:42] Seis? [21:42] Six [21:42] :P [21:42] Spelt the same, but pronounced like [21:42] "sees" [21:42] Sept = Seven [21:42] Huit = eight [21:43] Neuf = Nine [21:43] Vingt = Ten [21:43] ?? [21:43] Dix?
