les étudiants avec les gens? it kinda sounds weird

[sour imp]

Les étudiants sont avec le peuple / les gens
The first if you're talking about a nationwide protest, like if the whole of France is protesting and students from Germany support them

Instead of avec you can also say soutiennent from soutenir = to support

[tidal belfry]

This would be missing 'are'.

[sour imp]

You can also say les manifestants instead of les gens but depends on how you wanna put it

because then you're literally referring to the protestors

[bleak condor]

ah so it would be "les étudiants soutiennent les gens" ?

thank you so much !

[tidal belfry]

'Gens' does indeed mean 'people', but in a very general sense.

[sour imp]

Yeah if it's clear who les gens are

[tidal belfry]

Le peuple/les citoyens might be a better fit.

[sour imp]

Ah yeah les citoyens

[bleak condor]

okay i want to refer to the people in my country only

[sour imp]

Then yeah peuple which makes it sound more like "we are with the people" which sounds like you're expressing nationwide hardship

Or les citoyens as casca said

Cus like

It's often government vs regular citizens or smth

Vive la Révolution

Did i help

[bleak condor]

[sour imp]

aw

[digital flicker]

anyway, aku pribadi sih bakal bilang « les étudiants soutiennent le peuple (indonésien) »

[sour imp]

Wait how did u know

they were indonesian

Or you just guessed

[digital flicker]

citoyen = citizen (warga)
peuple = nation (rakyat)
gens = people in a general sense (orang-orang)

[digital flicker]

Parce qu'en Indonésie, il y a beaucoup de manifestations contre le gouvernement à cause des conneries electorales

Je le sais parce que je suis indonésien moi-même

[sour imp]

Ahh omgg

[sour imp]

Oui je savais ça

Je sais déjà tout

Omg wish i could speak to someone in my native language here
