I am attracted by almost any French word - written or spoken. Before I knew its meaning, I thought 'saucisson' so exquisite that it seemed the perfect name to give a child - until I learned it meant 'sausage!'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Boy, those French: they have a different word for everything!
There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.
I never dream in French, but certain French words seem better or more fun than English words - like 'pois chiches' for chick peas!
I'm quite into the French way - simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.
The Portuguese and Galician term 'saudade' suggests a profoundly bittersweet nostalgia.
I coined a word the other day, but I forgot what it was. It was a good one, it came to me in a dream.
My father always wanted to be 'Col-bear.' He lived in the same town as his father, and his father didn't like the idea of the name with the French pronunciation. So my father said to us, 'Do what you want. You're not going to offend anybody.' And he was dead long before I made my decision.
French is the language that turns dirt into romance.
One thing I can say about the French language is that no one in the world loves their language as much as they do. It doesn't matter if you're close - it still sounds terrible to their ears.
With a very few exceptions, every word in the French vocabulary comes straight from the Latin.
