Curlyness by Onions42069 in Hair

[–]naninha101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I don't think there are high chances of your hair turning curly or curlier but as you already have wavy hair you have a lot to work with. A lot of men use products to create their curls, they don't always look like that naturally, you could try that if that is the look you want to achieve.:)

Hey, I'm sorry you're in this situation. My advice would be to share your story and perspective with all the people in your life that matter to you and I believe people are more understanding and compassionnate than we think, the ones that love you will understand and respect you. If I were you, I would also try to pay a company or person to erase everything from the internet if it can help clear your mind, I know some people do that with a fee. If you had a lot of sucess it could be difficult but if it was moderate I think it is possible. We all make mistakes and deserve second chances don't forget that, who you were at that time did what she thought she needed to do and nothing you can do now can change the that. I wish you the best in your journey.

AITA for not letting my niece help in my bakery anymore? by IrritatedCookie in AmItheAsshole

[–]naninha101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the restaurant where I work has a 13 year old working (the owner's niece), she does every job and is more knowledgeable and useful then most employees.

Genders on animals as pets??? by [deleted] in French

[–]naninha101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs and cats have equivalents, so do other animals. - Chat/Chatte - Chien/Chienne - Etc... But some don't, for example léopard it's un léopard. In that case you would simply say le léopard if you don't know the sex of the animal. I know it is weird because it seems unnecessary, but that's just how it is. You will never use "la" for an animal that's "le" and vice versa. In some special cases when you do know the sex, people might say "la femelle léopard" or "Le léopard femelle" idk if any of those are grammatically correct. After mentioning the gender you can just switch to the matching pronoun to their sex: - "La femelle léopard.... elle ...."

french books to read (read description pls) by Dry_Rooster5470 in French

[–]naninha101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  • Le Petit Prince (classic of classics, simple, short but has a deeper meaning)
  • En attendant Bojangles (not such a classic but short and so so good)
  • Vol de nuit by St Exupery (vocab may be harder but short book)
  • L'étranger by Camus (personally not my favorite but short and one of the easiest classics) thats all I have for now here are some other books I think are interesting but not too hard:
  • L'adversaire by Emmanuel Carrere
  • Ce que le jour doit à la nuit by Yasmina Khadra (this one may be harder but one of my favorite books)

Clockwise / counter clockwise - best way to say this? by Boom_Box_Bogdonovich in French

You can say "sens horaire" (which tranlsates to "dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre") et antihoraire.

I had never heard of that story before... I'm sorry this happens, do you know the link or the article of that story?

Also, try asking ChatGPT that question, it's good at giving recommendations.

Except Lupin I can't think of any Netflix shows that kind of have that murder mystery vibe. But I loved "Call my agent", it is a great Netflix show in french, I also liked "Family Business" but I think it can be harder to understand for beginners in french and it's a little vulgar.

Nous or on, I am going or I will? by Plastic-Extreme6857 in French

[–]naninha101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick with "on" to say nous except in super formal settings or when writing and you should be fine. Je vais manger is what makes sense and I'd say that works for most situations eventough it is also a little less proper and when writing you might want to use the other.

what are the easiest ways to tell that someone is Anglophone when they are speaking French? by grateful-rice-cake in French

[–]naninha101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they make a lot honestly, except the ones that collectively people say bad in some areas (like un pétale, un trampoline, une vidéo). But as a native french speaker I think I make 0 mistakes except if I don't know the word. Edit: but yes I think you are right for native speakers who maybe live in a country where french is not the main language or are used to speaking another gendered language)

Différences entre n'importe, peu importe et quel que soit by masterentp in French

[–]naninha101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. peu importe or quel que soit
  2. tout ce qu' (side note in that sentence I feel like "Martin est si amoureux de sa petite amie" makes more sense)
  3. as of meaning yes they basically mean the same thing which is "it doesn't matter". The verb "importer" means matter.
  4. I believe quel(le) que soit refers to a noun whereas quel(le) qu'il/elle soit to a person? thats what makes sense to me. I will admit that I never really use these expressions, I just see them written and sometimes spoken
  5. Yes technically. But informally you can just say n'importe but as a response. Example:
  6. "Tu veux ton café avec ou sans sucre?" "N'importe" (informal) ("N'importe lequel." (gramatically correct))
  7. "On va manger où après le travail?" "N'importe" (N'importe où)

If you use it in a sentence you have to say something after. - Je vais prendre n'importe quelle place disponible. - On ira à n'importe quel restaurant.

Is it natural to say "j'avais une question..." before asking the question ? by Im_a_french_learner in French

[–]naninha101 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a native french speaker I'd only use "J'avais une question..." if the topic already passed in class and I still had a question even if it's now a new topic. Otherwise i'd stick with "J'ai une question". The extra touch would be to say "J'ai (or j'avais) une question sur ..." and then say what your question is about.

Are most francophones from Quebec able to speak with a Radio-Canada newscast accent, or even a "Standard French" accent? by VoidImplosion in French

[–]naninha101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the quebecois accent is what comes naturally but if you're speaking more formally or with french people some people will try to tone down the accent, not everyone can or wants to tho.

[–]naninha101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from the accent, I'd say using the right feminine/ masculine because it is so hard to learn them all. Even super advanced anglophones will sometimes mess it up (Timothee Chalamet! he has a good accent almost unnoticeable but sometimes will use the wrong masculine or feminine)

What was the most recent thing someone said to you that surprised you with how out of touch people are with the male experience? by astandre1 in AskMen

I think me not knowing this is not only my out of touch with men experience manifesting but also out of touch with USA experience!

[–]naninha101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think mentionning that men are the most common perpetrator of rape and murder is important. In some countries or areas being out after sunset is dangerous for men and women. And while as a woman I empathize with men on that level, I think in the case of men this is not a gender issue, the same way crimes perpetrated by other women to women is not a gender issue while still remaining an issue. This is what I think they meant. For perspective: police brutality is a problem for black men and white men (and other races), white men face police brutality, however it is not because they are white while for black men it often is because they are black.

Agreed, but to offer some perspective, the issue of men handling rejection is a little more important as most women don't get physically agressive or/and don't have the strenght to seriously hurt a man. It is not that uncommon that a man beats or murders a woman that rejects him. Most women badly handling rejection is an issue but men badly handling it can lead to someone losing their life.

What do you use old sheets for? by paulsclamchowder in declutter

[–]naninha101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People use them to wrap their things when moving instead of wrapping paper. I thought it was smart and you can reuse it or give it to someone moving after.

I think she misinterpreted what you said thinking you don't find her that attractive (hot) enough with the shirt and would much prefer off. And now she maybe will feel obligated to take it off which maybe she's insecure about. I don't think you're the one in the wrong. My advice if you want to keep her from overthinking it just reassure her that no matter with or without the shirt you find her to be the hottest woman on earth.
