California Mountain Snake Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Oui pronounced "wee" is actually quite dated. Most French people say oui like "way" now, and Quebecois almost always pronounced it as a nasal "wah". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) If there's a comma there's always a slight delay. When I hear a part with a comma in those French videos in my french class I never heard a pause... They spoke too fast for me, probably =D Oui pronounced "wee" is actually quite dated. Most French people say oui like "way" now, and Quebecois almost always pronounced it as a nasal "wah". Hmm... Actually I guess I do remember hearing it somewhat like way in those french videos... And... yeah, in french we wouldn't have been tuaght the quebecois-whatever way of saying it, mostly just the way in Parisn and it's general area... So I guess don't speak the way french around paris used to then? Edited August 3, 2009 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnd Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Chinese is more common than English. No. "Chinese" is spoken by more people than English, but that doesn't mean it's more common than it. You won't find many Cantonese, Mandarin, etc. speakers outside of China. On the other hand, English... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call me AL Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 No. "Chinese" is spoken by more people than English, but that doesn't mean it's more common than it. And most of the "Chinese is spoken by more people than English" deal is because China has a good percentage of Earth's total human population. Right?
