E.g. un homme

French seems hard and easy at the same time

In reality, as a student in linguistics, the germanic languages use the h in replacement of the palatal k.

The grammar isn't difficult, nothing like Eastern European languages

French is the language of homos

Italian is the real Romantic language

But the phonology is just...wtf

Well, we haven't declinations like Latin or even Greek.

I used to hate french but decided to like it
I just have a hard time with pronunciation

But the syntax and pronunciation are hard.

French was probably the last western Romance language to drop the case system

Especially the nasalisation of -an/-en

French looked interesting to learn until I discovered the counting system

J'aime le français cadien, de Louisiane

They had nominative and oblique whereas Castilian and the Italian dialects dropped it

Ah cajuns

Coonasses

@ChuuniMage what's the French counting system?

It revolves around twenties or something like that

Yeah French has a weird way of expressing larger numbers

Like instead of saying fourty you'd say two twenties

É and è and -in are hard for me to get right
I think I can do -on, -an, etc

Once you get to double digits and inch closer to 100 it gets weird

80 is four-twenty

420

No numbers are better than Anglo numbers

So do French stoners so 80 blaze it

Four hundreds twenty

But it's easy

The only simpler system for numbers than English is esperanto tbh

Quatre-cent-vingt

To be fair in archaic English usage you do have the score

Four-hundred-twenty

Strangely enough when I was counting a lot of things I would count in twenties, so it might not be as weird for me as I thought

Abraham Lincoln's famous speech

I like the score

"Four score and seven years ago"

It's just a term like decade

That's probably a vestigial feature from Anglo Norman

As are most of English's advanced vocabulary

I didn't know score meant twenty till I was 15
