Pourquoi faites-vous capitiliser le pronom "Je" en francais?

N'est-ce pas un anglicism?

(Do you capitilise the pronoun "I" in other languages besides English?)

Je ne comprends pas parce que la Russe adorent la Francais. Apparemment, ils ont préféré conduire des affaires dans le discours plus cultivé.

(I don't understand why the Russians love French. Apparently, they prefer to speak in the more cultivated language.)

WARNING


IN ORDER FOR THIS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED ANOTHER thread of that prohibited kind.........IF ALL posts made in FRENCH include an English translation, then I won't close it down and other mods may show similar mercy.

If you are truely working on your French, as claimed, then providing a translation probably with strengthen your skill and allow others to learn or check your work.

I'll check back later to see if this SIMPLE request has been complied with.

rah,

you said that all french posts should include an english translation. I'm afraid that at least for me and I'm sure for many others, this is way too much effort and will ultimately kill the thread which has started out nicely and is providing what we are looking for meaning french practice.
I'd ask that you reconsider. For me to try and write in french and then translating everything I wrote in english is really very very hard and tedius. I think for many others too.

Rah is correct... provide a translation or this thread is toast. The direction from the owners on this subject is very clear... If you can't deal with that, bummer. We are just enforcing the wishes of the owners of this site.

while translation to english would be great for me, there are of course folks here (other than the Francophones) for whom English is NOT their native language, and they must already do some mental translating to get to english. To have to deal with TWO foreign languages in each post might be an obstacle.

Quelle bonne idea


AHHH I need such a thread real bad. I mean I dont even know whats "because" in french. I know it in spanisch but not in french and I studied french for 4 years and spanish just for one now. All this spanish has overriden my french.
I am in between two languages, because I have forgotten a lot of french and I still know not enough spanish. Terrible!

Of course I can read it all what you are writing here and I understand it and get the jokes, but I cant write it... Sólo español veut arrivé a mi mind :-) (I am ready for Europanto/Esperanto I guess :-D)

how about this

everyone who posts in french has to translate into another language, but not necessarily English. So if Paiktis wants to translate into Greek instead, thats ok.


Or how about we limit it still further. Since the site owners are a Greek and a Canadian, anything posted en francais (in French) must be translated into one of the other official languages of one of the owners' countries - that would be either English, or Greek
