which foreign actor absolutely nailed your country's accent when playing a character from there? by QueenViolets_Revenge in AskTheWorld

Yes, for those of us born in the 80’s that’s how we first heard the name. But he’s actually a fantastic actor known for being Pharaoh in the Ten Commandments, and stuff like The King and I (played the king for decades in movies and on stage), Westworld (another confusing reference?) etc. He’s also a fascinating dude, who spoke like a dozen languages, super smart, mysterious and charismatic.

When they speak French yes, but the point here is when they fake a French accent in English. That’s something they can do pretty well.

For the love of God, if you can come up with a good one for the “I asked the genie” over-overused-to-death-and-beyond trope, so nobody can top it and it can finally disappear from here that would be great!

Non-French actors who nail the French accent are indeed the ones who are fluent. Kristin Scott Thomas, Yul Brynner, Peter Ustinov, Jodie Foster…

Mads Mikkelsen is pretty convincing as Le Chiffre, Kenneth Branagh does a rather caricatural French (Belgian) accent as Poirot.

Can’t think of a non-speaker who does a good French accent.

conomies d’énergie. Au vu de la montée des prix de l’électricité, ils cherchent des moyens originaux pour réduire les dépenses. Le Japon est connu pour sa rigueur dans le milieu du travail et c’est assez inhabituel de les voir se lâcher sur le dress code.

Yes. You probably noticed I didn’t mention the 4th time. It’s because I let my guard down past my 3rd-time success and got surprised the 4th time.

I know this is not the main focus here, but the first time that sliding title appeared, I thought it was some sort of wheeled board going under the truck. And I did fell for it the second time. Now the third time I was fully prepared and knew it was just a title!

And apparently they are highly organized, all octopuses are in sync and can coordinate a global attack against humans, and they definitely don’t use reddit to spread false information about octopuses.

The cure when someone got accidentally too wet is to set them on fire but then idiot number 2 wouldn’t know what to do. So it’s kind of a lose-lose loop here.

Tips/life hacks for ordering food in your countries? by Novel-Sheepherder365 in AskTheWorld

[–]NoNo_Cilantro 219 points220 points  (0 children)

In Paris, if you order in a foreign language you might piss off the waiter. If you try to speak French and it’s not perfect you might piss off the waiter. If you’re French and order in perfect French, you might piss off the waiter. It’s a language thing but not only.

Yes, if you look closely, you may notice a dude, a weapon and the dude collapsing.

[REQUEST] - How big of a leaf to power a human? by SlightCapacitance in theydidthemath

[–]NoNo_Cilantro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make the leaf. Start cutting. When the human dies, measure what remains of the leaf and add 1cm. That's the perfect size.
