I want to scrawl 'house of Seth' on my front door. I'm not sure if it should be: la maison du Seth or la maison de Seth. Please advise! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
le putain de Seth? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
putain? what does that mean, mortsto? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
La maison de Seth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only dirty word I know in french. I think it's whore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Putain = whore. |
||||||||
|
|

I could several of those before. I could call people "a cow's ass", but I forgot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Un cul de vache ? Heh, french is such a beautiful language or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, I'll remember that one, thanks ;) and cheers darious :) I just wasn't sure whether to use 'du' or 'de' :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes! Thanks. Always good to know how to talk to people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just talk in english, repeating the phrase, saying it gradually slower and louder. It works with people of any nationality. I see Americans doing it wherever I go on holiday. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
de + la = du right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"la maison de Seth." Erronous > no... de + le = du de + la = de la ex. : LE bonheur (happiness), LA douleur (pain) la maison DU bonheur (house of happiness) la maison DE LA douleur (house of pain). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I think you're right there, erronous (ironic considering your name ;) I'm doing it to invoke Seth, the Egyptian God of Darkness, to destroy my upstairs neighbour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh right - well Seth is a male name, so now, should it be 'du seth' or 'de seth' or does it not matter? :| |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seth is a person! you wouldn't say "the house of the Seth", or "the topic of the marlowe"... : ) for persons it's always "de", not "du" or "de la", since you say "Seth", not "le Seth" (the Seth). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok thanks uzim :) so it's definately LA MAISON DE SETH then? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think "The Seth" sounds better ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe > yes, definitely! ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks a lot for the help guys! my neighbour will soon be history! (unless Seth turns on me! :S) btw, Seth is the historical/mythological basis for the Christian Satan. |

Why do you want to write it in French, by the way ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like french is why; I used to study french and write poems in french - I think it is aesthetically pleasing to read, like Italian is nice to listen to. :) |
||||||||

i read a good comic featuring Seth once... Fox... i don't know if it's translated in english or other languages, but it was a pleasant read! there was a malediction, it made people have a taste of blood in their mouthes and feel like their nails were going to tear off their hands, then they'd die... the death never was the same but it was always something quite crazy... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like a charming comic book! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is just an aspect of it! ^^ it's not a horror comic. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh righty :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it true that "the hokey cokey" is "le boogie boogie" in french? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno... what is hokey cokey? ' _ ' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm, well i don't know what boogie boogie is either so it wouldn't help |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a crap song that kids sing at parties here in the uk. it goes: "you put your left leg in, your left leg out....in, out, in, out and shake it all about....you do the hokey cokey and you turn around.....thats what its all about.....HEY!!!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that the "boogie woogie" is supposed to be a dance... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm starting to see the connection here.... |
