I figured that since there's a Japanese language thread, there should be other language threads open … and I thought I saw some threads about other languages a couple of months ago, but now I can't find them.
So I'll just ask here. Please, help or redirect me to the pages I can't seem to find anymore ...
Anyway, I was dared to learn French, and it was going pretty well for a while until I tried to chat with said French girl that dared me. She explained a few things to me, but the one thing that I still don't quite get is this:
! @these:
! > Dirt: Luffy: Je suis le roi de pirates~!
Sabs: Good!
Sabs: Luffy non suis le roi U___U
Sabs: Luffy vais etre le roi
Dirt: … I thought it'd be «Luffy ne est pas le roi.»
Dirt: aah
Sabs: Oh no I didn't mean like that xD
Dirt: then, I'm confused
Sabs: Before you say "I am king of Pirates" but I was only trying to joke xDD
Sabs: He is not king yet xP
Sabs: That's what I mean
Dirt: non = not yet?
Sabs: Non is no
Sabs: Luffy is not king of pirates
Sabs: He will be xD
Dirt: you use suis in that?
Dirt: I thought it was first-person
Sabs: Yes you would
Sabs: Hmmm how to explain again x9
Sabs: there is not really a word for is
Sabs: Is that the word you try to use?
Dirt: I know être, suis, es, est, and sommes
Dirt: oh, and sont
Dirt: I don't know the past or future tenses though
Sabs: Nu not what I mean xD
Sabs: hmmm
Sabs: I am saying Luffy is not the king
Sabs: But there is not is in french
Dirt: no "is"?
Sabs: I am probably confusing xDD
Sabs: Right!
Sabs: there est sois all those can be use
Sabs: You speak in Luffy's eyes but I speak my own, so maybe that is why you are confused? xDD
Dirt: I ... guess?
Sabs: xDD hard to explain on internet
Sabs: Sorry Love~
Dirt: XP
Sabs: You just going to have to find someone who is good with French AND english
So now I'm here. Does anyone have any clue what she was trying to tell me?
