Memes to moimois is freaking funny (me = moi in French)
Yes, we do that in German, too. Me=mich -> meme=Michmich.
According to someone from rance they do the moimoi-thing, too.
I had never seen it in comments from Quebecois, don’t know if it’s used on Reddit (where the community is actually active) and it’s just too new… We already did literal translations of some things, like a post is a poteau (as in, a post that you plant in the ground to build a fence or to fix a mailbox to…), upvotes are positivotes… So why not moimois!
positivotes sounds much happier
But negativotes sounds much sadder
The use of moimoi is itself a meme.
Memeception
Moimoiception en français!
What do the Germans and/or French call selfies?
Don’t know about the French, but in German you can’t go wrong with Selbsties.
Selbstchen, surely. Which also has the dubious honour of having six consonants in a row. Or Selbstli if you’re fancy?
Selbstli
That sounds swiss though.
Hence fancy ;)
Nein, einfach nein.
In French, usually selfies. The Québéc French Language Office (OQLF) proposes “égoportrait” but I’ve only ever seen that used very rarely in more formal written contexts.
I really thought meme originated from the French meme, meaning self. I thought ppl used it like me_irl, moi meme. I’m realizing this is based on nothing and I might have totally made it up.
“Même” by itself means “same”, “c’est la même chose” “it’s the same thing”, with moi (moi-même) it’s “myself”. “Self” by itself (feels weird to say that) would be translated as “soi”.
Me, my memes and I
Moi, mes moimois et moi
Au secours c’est trop bizarre à lire “moimoi”.
It’s similar in Spanish. “Mí mismo” means “myself.”
mí = me
mismo = sameAh, true, sorry!
I’m supposed to be asleep?
Nice try, dweeb.

Quand rance_iel?
We don’t all sleep. Some of us have amphetamine addictions instead.
Or hungry infants or cats.
Or general insomnia, aggravated by the anxiety of living under a rising fascist regime.
In this instance we speak American!! Check instance Oh wait.
Those filthy Brits can’t fool me. Speak American!
OUI, COMMENCONS AVEC LA LANGUE ET DES PETITES ROUES POUR LES PIEDS!!!
I’m pretty sure our insomniacs still outnumber the Europeans (At least on Lemmy)
Edit: I continued scrolling and maybe not. Keep seeing these things I don’t understand. Well played.
أتفق معك كل الإتفاق
El señor de la nooocheee
Look at the time, it’s already french pickiness o’clock!
The correct way to phrase this is “pour poster des moimois dans toutes les langues”.
Sorry, I had to, it’s a cultural thing.
Eh, last time I spoke french was some 15± years ago, of course I had to make some mistake.
Mais merci pour la correction, sinon on n’apprend rien.
I miserably failed at german in school. You did way better than I would have done in your language ;).
On dit “faire des poteaux”, pas “poster”!
Honte à moi :'(.
Ou sont les frêres et sœrs françaises? Aidéz nous s’il vous plâites!
Me rolling away from the haters
I miss working night shifts. The culture, the languages, the bigotry between groups of people I can’t tell a part.
