Joyeux festin, not "happy meal".
Stationnement, not "parking".
Course à pied, not "du footing".
Magasinage, not "shopping".
Téléphone intelligent, not "smartphone".

And yet Quebecois will stop you in the street and say "t'as une smoke ?"

Parce-que il a un flat tire...

Ouais c'était pas fun

On dit juste "j'ai un flat". On sait tout de suite que tu parles d'un pneu.

Du footing?

[–] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My last flatmate said that. Took me some explanation to understand what he meant. So he had to explain to me what "running" is. Fun time.

Ngl the Quebecois one makes way more sense to me.

Looks like ordiphone is accepted, but I honestly never heard that. Everybody simply calls that a "téléphone" in Québec, and advertisements usually use "téléphone intelligent".

Yeah, I guess. I learnt it in a project subject during college, frow a teacher insisting that it's a bibliothèque and not a librairie for a .so

[–] ebc@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bibliothèque is a library, librairie is a bookstore. Big difference. Bibliothèque can also refer to a bookshelf, depending on context. But you always pay for books in a librairie.

[–] mat@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago

I agree, but for a .so on linux, librairie comes from liabrary and does not hurt
