Surtout les fromages au lait cru....😁 Bien affiné 🤪 au États-Unis ils ont de très bon fromage au lait cru dans les campagnes profondes fait artisanalement ... Seulement dans les grandes villes américaines c'est la pasteurisation qui a le privilège au nom de l'hygiène alimentaire.... ils faut savoir quand même qu'une personne qui a jamais mangé de fromage au lait cru pareil pour ces parents peut-être très "dangereux" niveau santé si elles en consomme en grande quantité lors d'une première dégustation.....🤔
Blame France for colonel. Colonel descends from an Italian (and older Latin) word for column: colonnello, meaning a column of soldiers. The reason it's pronounced "kernel", is before it got to English, the French changed it from colonnello to coronel/coronelle. I don't know if the old French changed the L sound to the R sound, or if that came in English, but then English changed the spelling back to the original and kept the R sound, resulting in colonel -> "ker-nel".
It is obvious that every language formats the human soul. We designate phenomena in this world through the code of each language. When I was young, I cursed my parents. Why didn't they give birth to me in the USA? Now at 50 years old, I understand that I am comfortable with my Russian language. Although sometimes it makes me sick, to the point of hatred. That is life.
I'm a musician who, for decades, has learned by ear almost all of the music I know. I could pronounce every French word here, after hearing it one time.
I propose we adopt _edgehog_ into regular use. What a cool word. And as a hedge is nearly always on the edge of something anyway, it even retains much of the original sense. Seconder, please, then a show of hands!
We have the twisting of the nose in America....it means someone is "brown-nosing". Aka kissing ass or being a suck-up. We have so many hand gestures in the U.S. too. Has anyone been to NYC? Yes, they probably picked them up from other cultures, but I'm sure we embellished them over time. Just look at your emoji list.
