minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•9 months agoI knew flaneur as an adjective in German, for example when you go on a walk through a shopping street, without any intent of shopping you go “flanieren”. Just having a walk, looking at stores and people.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•9 months agoYeah the bottom two are straight up French words.
