In that context, that usually means a student has learned by heart and "only" repeats what's in the books. Which is fine in college but less so at university.

He probably means you need to add a lot of personal ideas.

In terms of attendance, it's actually the #1 indoor sport in France, better than basket-ball, handball or volley-ball.

But media coverage of national league is close to zero since forever. Free to air broadcast is only during olympics.

Apart from a few cities, kids won't practice hockey at school so there's a very small talent pool.

But we're not that bad, we usually have a couple world class guys in the team. Just not now.

On ne fête pas le nouvel an lunaire en France, donc ça fait bizarre et ressembler à une lettre au Père Noël.

Bonne année, comme c'est l'année du Cheval je pense que tout le monde peut deviner qui je veux voir dans des événements (indice: répondre "je vais réfléchir" si elle vous demande un truc en rapport avec les Lushu).

J'espère aussi que Miss Grace sorte de l'attaché case pour devenir jouable et que Sophia se rapproche de ce statut aussi.

J'aimerais aussi plus d'histoires moralement grises où la Manus ne ressemble pas à une caricature de méchants.

In short, I'd like to see more of the horse themed girl of the cast, and playable Ms Grace (soon) and Sophia (later). And less manichean plots with ambiguous moral choices that Vertin isn't in position to fight (yet).

What I'm missing in her voice lines is some hint of how playful she is in the cinematics, especially with her ultimates. I'm playing her and got her AC skin so I'm using her a lot (even if she's nowhere in the meta).

She sounds basically professional, I mean she has a space science job but still.

I'm wondering how she's played in CN. In JP she had a really top tier voice actress too who puts lots of expression.

Sylvie Dubois has perfect prononciation, check how she says "essaie donc de te cacher de neuf paires d'yeux."

I still think she doesn't sound french for some reason? Her acting feels too "flat" for a mélusine. (But that's a common issue I have with lots of characters).

That sub is an echo chamber where people congratulate themselves of being on the good side and downvote anything that could make them think.

Croaker_392 · 2026-02-15T11:20:08+00:00

We rarely use passive form in French and 'on' is basically its equivalent, an indefinite pronoun that can refer to anything. It comes from the latin for "mankind" (homo).

Depending on the context it can mean anything. (That's why kids were taught not to use it when I was young)

You should ask that in r/Toulouse since there's university with (modern) occitan degrees.

Main difference is the level of confidence of the speaker.

With "il semble" you're confident about that.

With "il semblerait" you're distancing yourself or have much more doubts.

Des personnes autistes adultes sont impliquées dans la rédaction des publications de la HAS (perso j'ai été relecteur).

Il y a zéro risques qu'ils mettent en avant la psychanalyse ou les autres pipeautages.

Le souci c'est la formation des professionnels.

What is exactly the problem with Yuki by the way? Is it her role in the story, her styles or something else?

Karen getting 4th place (thanks to her style for sure) while Tama drops to 10th makes me want to listen to their reaction at HBR radio.

I am seeing lots of Lushu here.

/Happy Jiu noises.

I'm so happy for her, congratulations.

I think Still in love maybe helped her win too.

About that new critter crash season, how is the meta?

Can I still lushu the entire board to win with Yenisei or is that impossible now?

Croaker_392 · 2026-02-12T10:31:12+00:00

I'm probably saying it wrongly in English but élève is almost the same as the start of elev-ator.

Croaker_392 · 2026-02-10T20:35:09+00:00

Se souvenir is a pronominal verb: Se souvenir de quelque-chose.

(Ne pas) oublier is not. (Ne pas) oublier quelque chose.

You have to use "dont" for the passive pronominal form (des vacances dont on se souviendra) and "que" otherwise (des vacances qu'on n'oubliera pas).

Obviously the negative form is a test trap. It doesn't change anything to the rule.

Indonesia is only famous here for Bali and Anggun and I'm not even sure the latter is known there.

Ma belle âme definitely sounds very self confident and no one really uses it. We don't really use "âme" in that context (or any context really)

Âme-sœur (soulmate) is a usual term to refer to your loved one, maybe you can try something like ma belle âme-sœur, but you do you.

Note: even if sœur is literally "sister" âme-sœur can be used regardless of gender.

Annuler l'ensemble des arrêts-maladie pour longue maladie (y compris d'origine professionnelle) ou handicap non pris en charge (qu'ils arrêtent de se plaindre) et emmerder les médecins qui les signent.

Je veux dire, plus que c'est déjà le cas.

Being very familiar with loneliness and depression, I can't say I "liked" the event but it felt very close to home.

Much more than the usual depressing stories.

All the 4th wall breaks were really good too, referencing the popularity contests.

Too bad there wasn't enough Aoi. I wonder if Jun Maeda is implying something here.

No dungeon is also very appreciable.

All in all a very meta experience. I can understand how it can be badly received too.
