English is better, honestly. French may be beautiful, but it's not strong and regal like English. Thank God the Norman invasion happened, or else we'd still be talking like Germans. Truly, the best thing that ever happened for the English language was the year 1066. Now we're blessed with the best of both worlds.
>English is better
Reading this sentence got me so fricking pissed that I will simply stop reading IQfy entirely for the day, I have no time to waste stressing and educating worthless stupid trash like you.
but it really is, for only one reason: adaptability. From 'O'-(zero; zed) to 'zen' (japanese to english) to the various conjunctions that name technology in the computer world and become ubiquitous buzzwords, English has it.
We don't teach children to speak poetically, rhythmically, but we could.

>English >Strong and regal
It's one of the most effeminate languages, possibly even more than french, there's a reason why girls who don't speak english as a first language love plastering their social media profiles with quotes in english.
i only know french and english
what makes english bland ? it's so naturally rhythmic i find
what makes slavonic languages better ? the lack of articles ?
English is heavily oversimplified thanks to contact with Scandinavians, but despite the rigorous attempts to make it bland it still retains some of its old Tudor character. It has a very unique magic to it that most do not have eyes to see since it acquired the status of universal tongue without also acquiring great prestige as a Lingua Franca typically does.
the french need to sneeze and get rid of their nasally voice, it's almost as annoying as high pitched jap voices, you only worship it because you don't speak a romance language and idolize them for being poor.
French would be better if they pronounced it more similar to Catalan
French sounds incredible as it is.

You only say that because your English isn't good enough to read literature in it. If you can't understand pic-related, then there's no point responding any further to you.
>got absolutely BTFO'd when it came to pronunciation, so now he's going after the orthography
Predictable, or should I say... prévisible. In all seriousness, French orthography isn't nearly as fricked up as people make it out to be; it makes a lot more 'sens' than than English orthography, du moins. In any case, it's a whole lot more consistent, and you can get the hang of it within a week or two. People just like making mountains out of molehills, like how people freak out about having to learn a new alphabet and choose Latin over Greek even though they know Latin literature is pretty stale in comparison.
Look here, mr bilingualonlygay (pejorative), english is one of the easiest languages to read. You being a midwit and thinking that screenshot is hard to read is what makes me and others don't want to respond to you any further, (and I won't because you are moronic).

Ah, it appears my native ENGLISH skills are so great that I didn't catch your mistake the first time around.

>recommend me a book in english instead
Alright, I'll give you three. Read The Wings of the Dove by Henry James, A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr, or King Lear by William Shakespeare.
English is a living language and, like all such, is continuously changing. We don't have an Academie francais; there's no simple, correct English, but only innumerable precedents of arguable validity. That's why French has a remarkably poor vocabulary compared with English.
French is too much in the throat. It has a "sticky" quality too it. Almost gargly. French is to the Romance Languages as German is to the Teutonic. French romanticization has gone too far.
Italian is the prime Romance language. Fluid and refined, and the first literary language to succeed Latin.
>French is to the Romance Languages as German is to the Teutonic.
German copied that gay French R after Hitler's way of speaking was considered unpopular and as a way to sound "sophisticated". German wasn't always disgusting.
>like Arabic
Is this a meme or something? I keep seeing people throwing this around whenever they're talking about languages, even when Arabic isn't part of the topic.
Many claim Arabic sounds scracthing to them. Most times I heard it; it sounded like they kept their mouths to much open and it sounded airy rather than scratchy. Then again, there’s so many dialects, it could just be certain ones that sound scratchy and coarse to people.
I also hate how French sounds. The only language I hate more is the Chinese.
The most beautiful languages when it comes to their sound are probably German and Russian.
German only sounds good when sung, and Russian only sounds good when spoken by a fake submissive ugly vtuber girl hiding being an avatar whispering in my ear about how crazy that play she just made was.
French sounds like a plucky, snot-nosed kid trying to impress you with his performative manner of speaking. I say this in an affectionate way but the idea that it has some abnormally strong quality of romance or beauty is hard to take seriously. Pretty much every language can be beautiful, that is by far the most generic quality of language, and anyone exalting it as a virtue of a particular tongue makes himself look like a pseud. What makes the Romance languages stand out is how fun and playful they are, not beauty.
Actual frenchtard here, there's nothing special or beautiful in the section your posted. I don't doubt proust's prose could be beautiful in french but the passage in question is just extremely ordinary. Stop larping and gushing over a language

No explain. Why is French better than English?

Flouncing away, a typically Fr*nch response.

Jean Jacques Rooseau and Marx agree English is better.
Looks nice but sounds bad
english is better for poetry
mais pour la prose ? c'est le français
English is too bland for poetry. Especially compared to Slavic languages.

I refuse to believe anyone can understand that without seriously studying it.
French would be better if they pronounced it more similar to Catalan
Noone is explaining anything in this thread, just dick swinging nonsense..I hate IQfy
Because it’s clearly a joke thread?
Then give me a joke ye bastard
French, English, German, Spanish, Italian
They all get mogged by Latin
(which in turn gets mogged by Attic Greek)
[Which in turn gets mogged by Japanese]
Nice try, weeb.
Mogged by Russian
>no declension
I kneel...what the frick is declension?
Non-verb equivalent to conjugation, basically. It's a large part of why Greek and Latin sound so cool.
didnt think I'll learn something on this god awful site..thanks anon..have a (You)
All the main Romance languages are great for reading, maybe with the exception of Portuguese. Russian coming close though to their level.
English is a living language and, like all such, is continuously changing. We don't have an Academie francais; there's no simple, correct English, but only innumerable precedents of arguable validity. That's why French has a remarkably poor vocabulary compared with English.

>sticky
its called cum you homophobe.
>French is to the Romance Languages as German is to the Teutonic.
German copied that gay French R after Hitler's way of speaking was considered unpopular and as a way to sound "sophisticated". German wasn't always disgusting.
I've listened to a lot of ASMR from various languages over the years, and French is phonetically one of the worst sounding languages, like Arabic.
No surprise that an ASMR-gay would have bad taste.
Eh, I think French women sound hot even if French sounds odd otherwise.
anon..please stop, for everyone's sake
Maybe don’t listen to mumbling whispers that pose as relaxing for language opinions.
>like Arabic
Is this a meme or something? I keep seeing people throwing this around whenever they're talking about languages, even when Arabic isn't part of the topic.

Perfect is not the word to use. The French do have a beautiful sounding language though.
Humans speak Romance languages. Subhumans are for everything else. Mutts are the Central and South American..."dialects" to call them so. Simple as.
And superhumans speak Germanic languages
it's true
Should I buy 50s editions of Pléiade for cheap?
Spoken French sounds like one drowning in saliva. It's repulsive. Arabic and Cantonese sound better, and they're shit languages.
French sounds like a plucky, snot-nosed kid trying to impress you with his performative manner of speaking. I say this in an affectionate way but the idea that it has some abnormally strong quality of romance or beauty is hard to take seriously. Pretty much every language can be beautiful, that is by far the most generic quality of language, and anyone exalting it as a virtue of a particular tongue makes himself look like a pseud.

mais du tout
oh là là fais-moi plaisir OP ne me dis pas que tu crois vraiment que le français est supérieur à l'anglais quand il s'agit de poésie ?
french is dogshit
i prefer italian and russian
>french is so ugly and nasally and harsh guys, i hate it
>russian is nice, though
wtf is wrong with this place
