For example, if someone spoke in French, I wouldn't understand what they said. But if they spoke in English, I would.
I mean I understand that it has its use in naming desserts, but it's just not suited for day to day conversation.
Imagine this exchange:
Person: "L'eau est empoisonnée."
Me: "What the fuck are you talking about?" Takes a sip and fucking dies.
Compared to:
Person: "The water is poisoned."
Me: "Oh shit no thanks" Lives
See how confusing it is? It's just hard to relate to on a human level.
How do French people put up with this?
Yeah there's that stupid painting that only exists to make me feel dumb. It's a darn picture of the pipe, but when I say "that's a pipe" they keep laughing at me. I thought it might be a gay thing or a homophobic thing, but I googled "gay french pipe" and nothing came up about the painting, I searched hours of videos. Finally I looked up the dern translation of the words on the painting and it translates to "this is not a pipe." The whole darn language doesn't make sense!
thats because la poésie est une pipe, you know?
USE INGLISH DAMNIT AND STOP LAUGHING AT ME.
