It might be a reference to an event during the crusads
So,
"Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive le sacré, mercenaires"
"Hail (to) death, hail (to) war, hail the holy, mercenaries"
During the siege of antioch, the crusaders attacked the muslim army come to relieve it, and many christians claimed they saw the saints riding among them
Therefore saints = battle
Therefore mercenaries hail the saints
idk
Maybe I'm looking too far into it
who knows
A lot of those on that crusade were French,
but "sacré" would not be used in that situation, though...
>and many christians say they saw the saints rising among them
Fuckin Santa Claus riding on a mighty steed holding a claymore
<:KEK:465443054254424065>
Santa =! St. Nicholas
Laughing my ass off right now
St. Nicholas was Anatolian, Santa is Finnish
Oh
Fug
Saint Peter's just there tending to the dead and saying if they're going to heaven or hell
"Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive le sacré, mercenaires"
"Hail (to) death, hail (to) war, hail the holy, mercenaries"
(what's in parentheses is to make it flow better. It makes it into an adaptation and not a direct translation... so, be free to just delete the parentheses)
"I see you've been bad, hell for you."
Imagine you on a crusade, and you see this nigga in green robes with a staff riding a horse
"Holy fuck, even St. Patrick's here?"
... though, the might want to capitalise "Holy"
aye
It just seems that if it points to God, it starts to make a bit more sense
so, capitalisation would make it so
So capitalising Sacre would change the meaning from "Holy" to "God"?
It French, it works differently
So that IS how it works? right?
no, as it is, it basically means "hail the holy (stuff)"
no subject as to what is holy.
So when its capitalised, it becomes an adjective?
It's like the Japanese using random English words
hang on...
no, adjectives are never capitalised.
So with a capital, it's a noun, but without its an adjective
basically
I see
but there is no noun version of "sacré"
the word cannot be used as a noun in that situation
