DRINKS & FATNESS IN FRENCH LANGUAGE: THE MISSING LINK
While reinventing the French language, I've made an interesting discovery.
Let me share it while awaiting to be crowned by l'Academie Francaise.
In French, all nouns must be either Masculine or Feminine.
It's just crazy: Table is feminine, while Pen is masculine.
Now, looking at DRINKS, I just discovered a new pattern.
And it's not very polically correct - but it makes learning easier!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All drinks that are Feminine in French language have something to do with FATNESS! Incroyable, mais vrai. Read on...
BEER: la bière (think of the Fat Olga in Germany)
VODKA: la vodka (think of the Fat Babushka in Russia)
WATER: l'eau (think of Fat Mama in drought-affected parts of Africa)
LEMONADE: la limonade (Big and Fat are often synonymns for 'America')
HERBAL TEA: la tisane (what women are into these days, for the figure)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you have an easier way to remember which drinks are Masculine, and which ones are Feminine in the French language.
