You guys are just learning French I swear
Yeah désuet and flâneur are as common in French as abandoned and loiterer are in English. I’d say only the first word describes something that there isn’t another common word for.
Langueur is french too no ?
Yes
It is, but I can’t say I would use it in everyday conversation like the other two.
I still see them used regularly, it’s different than those English words most people don’t even know.
Stupid sexy flâneur
🎵 I’m always blowing bubbles🎵
I want to be a flâneur when I grow up…
Some of these words might give a better understanding when put into sentences
I remember hearing eudaimonia many years ago and thought that I can’t wait for it. I haven’t heard it since then and the state of the world reminds me I may never again.
Are they good? What tracks do you recommend?
I only know eudaimonia because it’s super advanced tech in Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, essentially inventing utopia
I didn’t know eudaimonia or flaneur, I like these! :D
I 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.
It’s a french word too, though that usually translates more to loitering
Yeah the bottom two are straight up French words.
And they have straight up common English versions, abandon and loiterer.
So once again French getting used to make shit sound fancier than it is, I’m used to it haha.
From a french perspective, it’s english once again taking fancy words and pronouncing them like shit :p
Wow, those Germans have a word for everything.
It appears we took it from French, but we have it nevertheless.
Languor isn’t usually thought of as pleasant.
TIL
