  • French:

    A beautiful man:

    Un <= masculin (A)

    Homme <= masculin (Man)

    So the adjective should be masculine, right?

    But as homme 1) starts with a H and the word does not have nordic descent, it’s not the masculine ‘beaux’ but feminine :

    Un bel homme.

    But not belle eh, just bel (they obviously sound exactly the same).

    Because, it sounds better.

    Which language was stupid now again?

    It’s crazy humanity can communicate at all.















  • A friend asked “What about go to France for a year?” when I was at uni in my birth country Sweden.

    Sure! She said lets buy a car and drive there! Ok!

    Decided it was fantastic, stayed when the year was over (with a whole bunch of stories I’ll anoy the grandchildren with), and I’m still here :-)

    Some years later, my SO in like the y 2000 : Lets go to Paris! Spent 10 years there.
