@royaventurera: Here are some of my favorite examples of words that come from French but are used differently in English. What are yours? #languages #languagelearning #learnfrench #french
The entree one is purely American, not used in the UK

This is American English. British English is closer to the original eg if you were to order pie à la mode we would have no idea that you want ice cream with your pie bc à la mode refers to fashion.

A Valet in British English was a servant as well, specifically a gentleman’s servant

In Australia we say that the entree is the appetiser, and the main course is just the main course we don’t really use the word appetiser at all

Japan has a whole category of “Wasei-Eigo” which are English words that mean something completely different 😆

Valet is also servant in English, though. Also the rack where you hang your suit.

Fun fact: in English a CV is still a resume but it’s a particular type of resume that’s waaaaay more in depth than a typical one. They’re usually used by professions at the doctoral level.

Lol my reaction when I saw “entrée” for the first time in an American restaurant. Like a whole steak as an entrée 🤯 what is going on! Then I understood it was the main course

Entree in UK is what we also call a Starter which is your Appetiser. Never realised it was a main course over there

Come for the Brits comment, because those words are found in our language but with the French meaning.

Hmmm to qualify, it’s American English where these are used, though. In British English we have different words / terms.

What are the other two languages that you speak? As an English native, was it hard to learn Romance languages, like French?

I think these are just American English because I speak British English and use the words here like the french, other than valet which is your car getting cleaned

Words can definitely be used wrong just because it becomes normal doesn't make it correct lol especially entree which is only in the US

Please discuss the meaning of forte in French and Italian, and the pronunciation in each language. Thanks!

Résumé is used in Dutch at the end of a meeting, presentation or explanation like Americans use “recap”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way we use touché in English isn't something that often gets said in French, no?
