Merely a link today to
this article in The Guardian about French neologisms. It includes the word
attachiante, which is a portmanteau of
attachant (charming) and
chiant (bloody annoying) and means
a lady that you can't live with and can't live without:
beautiful yet unbearable, intoxicating but intolerable.
Such words are terribly necessary if you're a Frenchman.
Your blog is really awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I like french language very much. French language is romance language. I like French culture, tradition, french food etc . Last summer I have visited France as well as I have visited French restaurant. I have enjoyed French food very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks, your blog is great. Wish I had discovered earlier. I live my life between french, English (and Chinese) and am learning French everyday for the past 10 years.
