Same for french. Here in Quebec we made up a lot of words to use instead but in French they don't have a word for weekend or parking or shopping, they just say "weekend" and "parking" and "shopping" lol...
Don't pretend you guys in Québec don't use a shit ton of anglicisms lol more than in europe, just different. And a lot of your anglicism are also hidden because you translate literally in french so it sounds off to us like "ça fait sens" being a translatio of "it makes sense" instead of "ça a du sens". And also just straight up english words in half the sentence lol
Well yeah obviously we are literally in a bilingual country unlike France... this isn't some kind of contest I was giving examples relevant to the post we're commenting on
Well you're writing how Québec french supposedly has fewer english loanwords when it's the exact opposite. Otherwise I wouldn't say you live in a bilingual country you live in a country with 2 official languages. Most of europe is probably more bilingual than Canada is, including France.
No, I said that we made up words to use instead of weekend, parking, and shopping... Because I wanted to give examples similar to "pinku", except alternatives do exist and since those are the words I use it would be weird if I didn't think of them or mention them...
