Just like Quebecois is not really French
- palata 3y agoHmm, I would still say that Quebecois is French, but with some (maybe many) local words. Swiss-German is really a dialect (actually multiple dialects).
- fakedang 3y agoWeekend in Quebecois: Le fin du semaine Weekend in French: Le weekend
- palata 3y agonitpick: "La fin de semaine" ;) Those are all perfectly valid French words, but the meaning is slightly different ("la fin de semaine" in France may include Thursday/Friday, whereas in Quebec it's really for Saturday and Sunday (instead of "weekend")).
