At first I suspected this was the French government demanding that 40% of the videos be made in europe using the French language.

Which is weird since I often don't hear much spoken dialogue in most porn films other than fake moans and and orgasms. Also my focus tends to be elsewhere...

"AHHH oui oui très bien! Plus fort s'il te plaît"

Just hits different.

Stop with the classy French French! I want vulgar Canadian French.

"Ahh tabernack! T'es une vrai p'tite pute! T'fesse va ê're plein de ma cum comme u'poutine!"

"Mais fuck you! Plus vite MAINTENANT... OUAI YEAH! COMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE ÇÇÇÇÇAAAAA!!!! Fuck me t'as une monstre cock!"

O.M.G.

That would block me instantly but I would have a good laugh

I'll assume that "oui" is "yes". The rest...umm...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"tres bien" is "very good"

"si vous plait" is like "please"

"plus fort" is like "more strength"

I've never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from "throwaway" French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.

So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.

I'd argue that "plus fort" would mean "harder" in this context but I'm not an expert

😏 this person knows

Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation -- it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context "harder" is a definitely a more useful translation.

Try searching for French maid.
