3 French expressions are commonly used in English
++The spirit of the staircase++:('L'esprit de l'escalier'): 'The spirit of the staircase' is a witty response which, frustratingly, comes to one's mind just after the opportunity to utter it is passed. What's the origin of the phrase 'The spirit of the staircase'? 'The spirit of the staircase' or, as it is often written, 'the spirit of the stairway', is one of those obliging phrases that has a definitive origin, in that it is a quotation from Denis Diderot's Paradoxe sur le Comédien, written 1773-78. In the text Diderot retells a situation in which Jacques Necker makes a remark that perplexes him: This confounds me and reduces me to silence, because the sensitive man, like me, overwhelmed, loses his head and finds himself at the foot of the stairs. It is one of the few phrases that has come into English as a translation from the French. The original, which even my schoolboy French is up to translating, is 'L'esprit de l'escalier'. Most of the French phrases that have been adopted into English are used in their original French form, even the similar 'Esprit de corps'. It isn't a commonly used phrase in the English-speaking world, which is a pity as it encapsulates a feeling that we must all surely have had. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/spirit-of-the-staircase.html
++Fait accompli:++ An accomplished fact; an action which is completed before those affected by it are in a position to query or reverse it. What's the origin of the phrase 'Fait accompli'? The literal translation into English of this French phrase is a fact realized or accomplished - what might these days be called a done deal. Strangely, it entered the English language via a travelogue of Spain rather than France. Richard Ford's A hand-book for travellers in Spain, 1845, was and still is, regarded as a classic of travel writing. In it Ford included the phrase "This is now a fait accompli.", in regard of some previously decided fact. In 1858, Sir William Stirling Maxwell wrote that "So great a literary achievement had never before been performed under so unpretending an appellation... it took its place among the best books of travel, humour, and history, social, literary, political, and artistic, in the English language". https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/fait-accompli.html
++Mar de mer :++ seasickness. What's the origin of the phrase 'Mal de mer'? Only the very luckiest amongst us will be unfamiliar with seasickness. The three dimensional freedom of a boat's movement, as compared with the motion of land-bound vehicles, make this one of the worst forms of motion sickness, compounded by the sufferer's knowledge that there is no escape when at sea and the misery is likely to last for some long time. Mal de mer'Mal de mer' is French, of course, and came into the English language in the 18th century. John Adams referred to it in his Diary, in February 1778: "The mal de mer seems to be merely the effect of agitation." The term had been in use in French for some time before that and is recorded with the 'seasickness' meaning by the late 16th century. It was also used in France to refer to another sickness of the sea, that is, 'scurvy', and, according to the OED, there's a record of that usage dating from 1505. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/mal-de-mer.html
Champagne: the name of the French region where this is beverage is made
Also, the word "beverage" originates from the Middle English word "bevrage," which came from the Old French "beivre" (to drink) and ultimately traces back to the Latin "bibere," also meaning "to drink".
Voilà: Can be replaced with "there you have it", "here it is".
Voilà is a combination of the verb voir and adverb là, so it literally means “see here/there".
Bon Voyage
Origen: Comes directly from Old French.
It is a combination of two words.
Meaning: " Good Journey".
Bon: meaning "good". Derived from the Latin bonus.
Voyage: meaning "journey" or travel. Derived from the Old French veiage, which traces back to the Latin viaticum, meaning "provisions for a journey".
Quienes son las personas que usan mas Spanglish?
El Spanglish, al igual que los préstamos del francés en el inglés, es una respuesta natural al contacto cultural constante. Se da principalmente en comunidades bilingües donde el cambio de código es una herramienta de eficiencia comunicativa, no una falta de dominio.
¿Crees que este fenómeno de "mezcla" es una evolución necesaria del lenguaje o una pérdida de su esencia original?
¿Por qué el inglés adoptó tantas palabras francesas?
Imagina el idioma como una empresa que acaba de ser comprada por una corporación extranjera. Eso ocurrió en 1066 cuando los normandos tomaron el control de Inglaterra. Los nuevos gobernantes hablaban francés, por lo que todos los términos relacionados con el poder, la ley y la administración tuvieron que actualizarse para que los locales pudieran comunicarse con la élite.
En lugar de inventar palabras nuevas, los hablantes de inglés simplemente tomaron prestado el vocabulario de sus líderes. Es por eso que términos legales como judge o jury, y palabras militares como army, suenan tan diferentes a las raíces germánicas básicas del inglés. Fue una cuestión de supervivencia y adaptación social: si querías hacer negocios o interactuar con la alta sociedad, necesitabas usar su terminología. Hoy en día, esto nos deja con un idioma híbrido fascinante donde las palabras cotidianas son germánicas (como cow o pig), pero las palabras refinadas son francesas (como beef o pork).
Qué significa en Espanol "The Normans"?
Hola, Diego Mauricio. "The Normans" se traduce al español como "los normandos".
Eran un grupo de personas provenientes de Normandía (una región en el norte de Francia) que hablaban francés antiguo. Su importancia radica en que, tras conquistar Inglaterra en 1066, se convirtieron en la clase dominante, lo que provocó que una gran cantidad de vocabulario francés se integrara permanentemente en el idioma inglés.
