Bonsoir, les amis!
Did you know that February 14th is the birthday of the French language? In honor of the birthday boy, a wonderful meeting was held at the FranClub, during which we learned why French is the most passionate and emotional language in which many works about love are written.
Our friends from Alliance Francaise Samara became the speakers of the meeting! Thanks to Leo Morot and Oksana Khimikova, we immersed ourselves in the history of the language, as well as in romantic literature, music and cinema!
We have prepared some facts for you:
- One of the reasons why French is called the language of love is a huge number of phrases, words with which you can express this feeling;
- The French attitude to love is based on three components: hedonism, Cartesianism and courtliness;
- In France, as well as in Russia, they guess on chamomile when they want to know the feelings of a loved one, only the French have more answers: Elle/Il m’aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout;
- There is some parallel between love and illness in French: tomber amoureux (to fall in love), tomber malade (to get sick);
To brighten up your evening, we are ready to share with you a list of romantic French movies that will not leave you indifferent!
