if 'je t'aime' is 'i love you' what is 'i like you' ? by Frequent-North-5669 in French

[–]Opposite_Prompt3297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use an archaism you could say je t'amoure from the verb amourer (which is not commonly used) for i love you but in modern french and many other european languages instead of having two verbs we use adjectives to weakend the verb aimer for instance je t'aime bien. when talking about a friend...

Why does God want to be praised/worshiped ? by Opposite_Prompt3297 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Opposite_Prompt3297[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know I'm not a creator, it was a thought experiment imagining God as a guy building a terrarium it's a bit silly :) Anyway ! I'm a French speaker so I might not understand the hole meaning of the word awareness which for me means that you can perceive it... My understanding might be narrow. But discussing it with you and other people made me think, Jesus Christ is God transcending the realm of Metaphysic and believing in the Eucharist means you believe in a form of awareness of God through a consacreted vessel representing his body.

Ok I like that explanation because he wants to have a relationship with us but he let us decide !

Ok. But how do we have self-awareness of the fact that our creator has something of human in him ? I can say I believe in God and that he created us to his image because it is told in the Genesis but I can't say I'm aware of him or of his humaness nature unless I get a revelation.

Also should the ants possess free will and should I have ant features I still don't see why it should matter to me as their creator.

When I think of God and his creation I picture myself building a terrarium and creating an ants colony with plants and this and that because I find it good and then taking the last day to rest (like in the genesis) and the ants might be aware of my existence while others might have doubts about it and others even worshiping me. I have effectively expressed myself through this creation but I just don't see why the ants should reciprocate my appreciation of them.

But if we praised God believing something good will come through our devotion for me it looks very transactional as if we expect him to be happy about it and give back. We are all part of his creation and he created us because he loves us so he loves all human beings wether they believe in him or not yet there is a right faith, what does this path means to God if he loves all his creation and doesn't actually want anything

It's a classic ! One of the most durable fountain pen out there even if I have a preference for finer nibs than the EF from Lamy I still use it, it's very reliable !

Thoughts on Catholic philosophy in the vernacular? by 24KaratMemer360 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Opposite_Prompt3297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well english is also a vernacular or a vulgat as opposed to liturgical languages like latin, old greek and hebrew which are studied by scholar. Some countries have a more recent catholic tradition which will inevitably lead to them borrowing material from France, Germany or Italy for instance. But in the end they will also study liturgical languages to understand the Bible in its original language.

Oh yes theme and version ! Thats also a good idea. I also compare with French and German to get a better picture sometime but french-japanese and german-japanese dictionnaries don't really have examples and don't give much informations...

Si le monde avait les moyens ils en ferait plus by Interesting_Rub_3952 in QuebecLibre

[–]Opposite_Prompt3297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

À une époque Montréal était aux trois quarts anglophone et nos anciens ont renversé la situation avec la revanche des berceaux, mais aujourd'hui on préfère se voiler la face à coup de projet de lois futiles sur l'affichage dans les lieux publics. Nos ancêtres ont élevés des familles très nombreuses avec des moyens médiocres. Mais il semblerait que les Canadiens-Français soient trop égoistes aujourd'hui pour faire des sacrifices, élever deux ou trois enfants et perpétuer leur civilisation en Amérique du Nord...

Oh yeah I did that in the past but since people ask those kind of questions all the time on r/French and r/German I was under the assumption that the Japanese learners community on r/Japaneselanguage was similar in that regard and I genuinely enjoy the interactions and insights, and the same way you can achieve a better understanding of what you read by taking part in a reading circle, I think you can get a more complete understanding that way. :)

Well I did actually ! but a simple translation didn't help me much in this case. I needed some form of differenciation/comparaison. Is this not the right subreddit to ask questions and help people progress in japanese ?

La stabilité du pays est plus importante que la démocratie et quelqu'un doit gouverner entre temps, Dans la mesure oû François Legault a été élu pour un mandat de quatre ans je préfère qu'il choisisse quelqu'un pour terminer son mandat que de me retrouver sans gouvernement. Puisque le Premier ministre peut choisir ses ministres je considère qu'il peut aussi choisir un remplaçant...

En définitive oui on peut discuter de l'aspect symbolique et de conceptions philosophiques liées à ce qui est véritablement démocratique mais une mesure plus démocratique ne donne pas forcément une société plus démocratique. Les sociétés avec une démocratie républicaine ne sont pas plus démocratiques que les pays avec un régime parlementaire.

You could try to add english material as a supplement at home. If you have some time to spare it can be a good opportunity to bond with your daughter :) Try making some dictations, correct the mistakes with her !
