The French language is deservedly considered the most sensual language in the world - in its use there are several hundred verbs denoting emotions and feelings of various kinds. The lyrical melodiousness of the throat sound "r" and the exquisite precision of "le" give a special charm to the language.

Gallicisms

The French words used in Russian are called gallicisms; they have firmly entered the Russian-speaking conversation with a large number of words and derivatives from them, similar in meaning or, conversely, only in sound.

The pronunciation of French words differs from Slavic by the presence of throat and nasal sounds, for example, "an" and "on" are pronounced by passing the sound through the nasal cavity, and the sound "en" through the lower part of the front wall of the throat. Also, this language is characterized by the stress on the last syllable of the word and soft hissing sounds, as in the word "brochure" and "jelly". Another indicator of gallicism is the presence in the word of the suffixes -azh, -ar, -ism (plume, massage, boudoir, monarchism). Already these subtleties make it clear how unique and diverse the state language of France is.

An abundance of French words in Slavic languages

Few people realize that "metro", "baggage", "balance" and "politics" are original French words borrowed by other languages, beautiful "veil" and "nuance" too. According to some reports, every day on the territory post-Soviet space about two thousand gallicisms are used. Items of clothing (pantaloons, cuffs, vest, pleats, overalls), military subjects (dugout, patrol, trench), trade (advance payment, credit, kiosk and regime) and, of course. words accompanying beauty (manicure, cologne, boa, pince-nez) are all gallicisms.

Moreover, some words are consonant by ear, but have a distant or different meaning. For example:

• A coat is a piece of men's wardrobe, and literally means "on top of everything."
• Buffet - we have it festive table, for the French it's just a fork.
• A dude is a dapper young man, and a dude in France is a dove.
• Solitaire is French for "patience", but here it is a card game.
• Meringue (a kind of airy brownie) is a beautiful French word for kiss.
• Vinaigrette (vegetable salad), vinaigre is just vinegar from the French.
• Dessert - originally this word in France meant cleaning the table, and much later - the last dish, after which it is removed.

Language of love

Tet-a-tete (one-on-one meeting), rendezvous (date), vis-a-vis (opposite) - these are also words from France. Amor (love) is a beautiful French word that has excited the minds of lovers so many times. A stunning language of romance, tenderness and adoration, the melodic murmur of which will not leave any woman indifferent.

The classic "same tem" is used to denote a strong, all-consuming love, and if you add "bian" to these words, the meaning will change: it will mean "I like you."

Peak of popularity

French words in Russian first began to appear at the time of Peter the Great, and from the end of the eighteenth century they significantly shifted their native language aside. French became the leading language of high society. All correspondence (especially love) was conducted exclusively in French, beautiful long tirades filled the banquet halls and meeting rooms. At the court of Emperor Alexander III, it was considered shameful (bad manners) not to know the language of the Franks, a person was immediately branded as an ignoramus, so French teachers were in great demand.

The situation changed thanks to the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin", in which the author Alexander Sergeevich acted very subtly by writing a monologue letter from Tatyana to Onegin, in Russian (although he thought in French, being Russian, as historians say.) the former glory of the native language.

A personal doctor prescribed her orange slices with peels, thickly sprinkled with sugar, and a French chef prepared decoctions of quince to whet the appetite. If these two dishes were ordered in the kitchen, the courtiers would immediately whisper between the courtiers: "Marie is ill!" (marie e malad).

Shantrapa - the word for idlers, street children, also came from France. Children who did not have an ear for music and good vocal skills were not taken to the church choir as singers ("chantra pas" - does not sing), so they wandered around the streets, making bad smokes and having fun. They were asked: "Why are you messing around?" In response: "Shantrapa".

Podshofe - (chauffe - heating, heater) with the prefix under-, that is, heated, under the influence of heat, took for "warming". A beautiful French word, but the meaning is just the opposite.

Silhouette is the name of the controller of finance at the court of Louis the Fifteenth, who was famous for his thirst for luxury and a variety of spending. The treasury emptied too quickly and, to rectify the situation, the king appointed the incorruptible young Etienne Siluet to the post, who immediately banned all festivities, balls and feasts. Everything became gray and dull, and the fashion that arose at the same time for images of the outlines of a dark-colored object on a white background - in honor of the curmudgeon minister.
