[opal shard]

i think its either foreigner or strange

[radiant crescent]

yeah as a noun i understand it. Even as an adjective

i mean as a verb tho

[opal shard]

hmmm

[radiant crescent]

apparently its a verb so that's why im tryna figure out how would u even use that

ina verb way

[opal shard]

i speak portuguese as well

and in portuguese theres a verb "estranhar"

which is kinda like

"to find something weird"

or someone

[radiant crescent]

ahhhh

[opal shard]

but i might be wrong

[radiant crescent]

wait how would you even say that? like
"eu não posso entranhar isso"?

my Portuguese new af so i needa work alot of shit out lol

[opal shard]

more like: você não estranharia que ele faria isso

you'd expect him to do this

you wouldn't find it strange

[radiant crescent]

ima ask more about this in dm to avoid speaking tm Portuguese here😭 but yeah any natives that can help me "étranger" as a verb please help

[opal shard]

i'm in no way the best person here to be answering these questions 😭

[median seal]

it's not a common verb

[void sand]

ive seen it used to refer to foreigners (migrants, visitors), abroad, foreign countries etc - for example "vivre à l'étranger"

[digital knot]

it is either an Albert Camus story or this gun

these are the options

[radiant crescent]

Alba told me its just to like to lose contact with someone, making yourself a stranger or becoming a stranger to em metaphorically

[radiant crescent]

i mean as adjectives and nouns ik it quite well. Really was the verb form that messed me up

[radiant crescent]

tho i definitely believe this. I've never seen it, even then i thought maybe it was just me

but apparently it isn't so thank you for the confirmation lol

[marsh niche]

I've never seen it as a verb either

"J'étrange"

[radiant crescent]

lmaoooo

[radiant crescent]

yeahhhh

https://www.wordreference.com/conj/frverbs.aspx?v=étranger

[warm timber]

Yeah but it’s not used

[marsh niche]

the weird thing is that this same website doesn't mention it as a verb https://www.wordreference.com/fren/étranger

[radiant crescent]

lol we already established that

i ain't wanna use that🤣🤣🤣

the most unorthodox verb I've seen

trying to understand its use and purpose was hard alone

[radiant crescent]

"because who gives a merde Abou this word🧟‍♂️"

[radiant crescent]

lol its probs because the word sees no usage so they just note its conjugation but can't give a word example for the use of the verb version of the word. Reasonable explanation tbh tho eh im glad i found out it isn't used

[warm timber]

Yeah exactly

There are many websites that do that

You could type « malounier » (which a word I just invented) and they would give u the conjugation

[radiant crescent]

@whole zephyr

sites really do that?
