Years ago I consulted for a French company and analyzed their processes. Heavily depended on Excel. They all pronounced Excel Sheet as "Excel Shit". All day long it was sentences like"...and then I make an Excel Shit here", "... then I give the Shit to my colleague". It was glorious... (and technically they were right).
Honestly I think we should blame English people for making sheet/shit and beach/bitch pronunciation so close while their meanings are so far appart.
Tell me you don't speak French without telling me you don't speak French
Bro no one speaks French, the whole language is a prank. French people speak normally when no one else is around.
That's true, I don't! Is it pronounced the same in all regions of France? Does Quebec French pronounce it differently? I know very little about French, this just made me laugh.
It would be pronounced like a female cat, Chatte gé pé té. But most of us Quebecois would probably pronounce it exactly as in English, with an English accent.
Chat is written like "cat" but is pronounced like in english. The animal is pronounced like "shah".
Female cat/"Chatte", though
French pronounce chat as in chat, not like the animal. They are morons when it comes to foreign languages, particularly English, but not that much.
Even better is Chat GPT4
Chat, j'ai pété fort ! (Cat, I farted Hard)
If they're pronouncing four then they're pronouncing chat in English too, no? In Quebec they're saying it in English with the usual Franco Quebec accent.
I'm French, it's absolutely true. Some TV presenters now avoid the misunderstanding by pronouncing GPT the English way. The giggles must have become annoying I guess...
Fartificial Intelligence
Reading an English word with the French pronunciation is exactly what I would expect from the French
I mean its not like a lot lf Americans put a lot of effort in promouncing foreign words and names correctly as well
It's fucking obnoxious, especially working in the tech industry. Hearing the French pronounce things like "Python", "Java", "JBoss", "WildFly" etc for prolonged periods of time was just plain painful.
Don't know if that was just at my company, but first conversations were wild and at first I thought we were using some in house produced software.
It's even worse than that, as we dont say the word for cat, which would be pronounced "cha", but rather "chate". And that the slang for pussy.
All flatulence must be reported to the nearest feline immediately.
My cat knows, but is surprisingly unbothered by it.
I have seen Francophones use the word “tchat” so as to not confuse with cat
tchat I farted is definitely better, glad they took steps to avoid any confusion.
I thought "chat" with a hard "t" in French meant "piss", cat is pronounced "cha". I was told this by a French speaker when I was talking about a "chat noir" poster, using a hard "t" and they said "you're sayong black piss! The "t" is silent for cat".
Can anyone confirm? I feel this is important for this post, "chat gpt" could mean "piss, I farted"
French here. I don't know where did he invent the meaning of 'piss' for chat with a hard t. That looks like a joke. For the rest if true. Chat for cat is pronounced without the t
I never heard anyone pronouncing the english chat as the french chat. Can confirm some people are saying GPT in french and not in english, making it awkward, but some make the effort. edit: I just noticed who is writing this and it's canadian french, don't know much about that
Can confirm.
