I hate the French language

Posted: 02/12/2010 in Being Irfan

YOU GUYS it is SERIOUSLY the hardest language I have ever learnt. LIKE, OMG.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE  IRREGULAR VERBS. I AM SICK OF THERE BEING A TENSE FOR EVERY DIFFERENT SLIVER OF TIME (imparfait, plus-que-parfait, passe compose, present, futur proche, futur anterieur, futur simple – just to name a few) AND THE FACT THAT ALL OF THEM SOUND THE SAME BUT ARE SPELT DIFFERENTLY JUST MAKES ME WANT TO CRY (e.g: obtiens, obtient, obtienne, obtiennes, obtiennent all sound the fricking SAME but imply DIFFERENT THINGS).

I AM TIRED OF STUPID ARBITRARY GENDERS. I AM ALSO TIRED OF THE WAY THE RULES CHANGE FOR EVERY FRICKING GENDER. Like, why is a light feminine? And why is an apartment masculine? Why is Malaysia feminine, but Canada masculine? AND WHY ARE COUNTRIES LIKE FRICKING MEXICO EXEMPT TO THE LETTER-BASED GENDER ASSIGNMENT RULE? SOME ASSOCIATIONS DON’T EVEN MAKE SENSE: like, WHY is a mirror MASCULINE and why is a BEARD FEMININE? I DON’T FRICKING GET IT. And you know what’s worse? New words get CREATED because of this stupid concept: NOUVEAU, NOUVELLE, and NEUVE all mean the same FRICKING THING (“new”)!!!

I AM ALSO TIRED OF HOW THERE SEEMS TO BE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF EXCEPTIONS AND STUPID LANGUAGE INFLECTIONS. Why do I have to say “I have hunger” and not “I am hungry”? Why is the fricking verb agreement contingent on the stupid direct/indirect object rule and not just a gross blanket? And why is the application of he/she/it not at all contingent on whether the object in question is ANIMATE/INANIMATE?

I AM GOING TO FAIL MY ORAL EXAM TOMORROW.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    To add to your frustration. The phrase I am hungry “Je suis faim” is pronounced the exact same way as “Je suis fin” which means “I am well behaved”
