je t'aime nostradamus

[main field]

wait so are we reviewing your English now

i can do that but it's not the server for it lol

[ruby iron]

its the understanding of french ig it counts ive done this before

most likely if the words/meaning translate but i understand

if its not possible

[main field]

It's a chance that we only have one shot at!
makes no sense to me
you don't get a shot at a chance yk
a chance is like a shot

[main field]

yea ill check for misunderstandings

des non-sens

[ruby iron]

A chance that we only have once (Corrected)
Une chance qu'on n'a qu'une seule fois !

[main field]

you could use get instead of have

and opportunity maybe

anyways

[ruby iron]

get is good

[main field]

Ou... ce qu'il y a au fond des anges !
yk au fond means at the bottom

like at the end, in the deepest parts

Or... Whatever there is inside of angels
i'd just add deep before inside ig

[ruby iron]

Or... Whatever there is deep down inside angels

[main field]

This could be super!
i don't think super makes sense in English

[ruby iron]

amazing

[main field]

i was thinking of really nice

that works too

idrk the context

[ruby iron]

ouai

[main field]

saying joyful for de joie was super tho

Angel Dust : Oh, pis elle danse !
now i don't speak canadian french but i don't think pis actually means then here

in france too when we say et puis it's basically just synonymous to et

[ruby iron]

i actually rewatched this scene

yeah

Oh, and she dances

[main field]

i would imagine that angel dust is noticing that shes dancing and saying it bc they're surprised by it

[ruby iron]

he was sarcasti

[main field]

oh so like en plus

yeah just say Oh, and she's dancing (too)
imo

[ruby iron]

in french french he went "Eh oui, elle danse!"

[main field]

oh yea bc theyre saying that singing it is ridiculous

[main field]

huh really

[ruby iron]

nah its cuz vaggie was like "DOn't tell me shes singing"

angel dust is adding "She's even dancing"

or something

[main field]

yeah en plus is good for this

wait so in english uh

[ruby iron]

mdr

She's even dancing

[main field]

she even dances too/she's even gonna dance

[ruby iron]

envahit

[main field]

Qui envahit les airs

the most direct translation is invade

i think it's okay

or takes over

or just fills bc its about the air

Roads full of colors
yea i think you'd use colorful in english

(also im studying translation in uni so yeahhh im gonna review your english)

[ruby iron]

dudde this is perfect

非常好

please judge my english

i think too french when im doing these

[main field]

C'est sûrement le plus beau royaume de l'univers
i think surely is less common in English

[main field]

thats fair lol

[main field]

'probably' comes to mind

[ruby iron]

surely not...

[main field]

not what?

[ruby iron]

its quite comon

[main field]

yeah but its a different usage

[ruby iron]

i dont think surement leaves room for probability

certainly

je dirais

[main field]

it's like 80%

it's for when you make a guess

you could also try replacing the adverb with a modal

like it must be

but eh

[ruby iron]

it must be sounds good

[main field]

or this must be

Even if the smell could dissatisfy
even though you may not like the smell

even if you don't like the smell

to be less formal

[main field]

yk french words that were adopted into english are generally more formal or at least technical than they are in french

if they don't have a totally different meaning

[ruby iron]

yes

[main field]

déplaire is a pretty common way to say people don't like it, but i've never heard dissatisfy

thats why im rephrasing

[ruby iron]

well it was originally displease

[main field]

yeah thats more common than dissatisfy

Démon n°3 : J'me sens pas super
remember to edit that one too

They would like to maybe accept my idea
when you put 'maybe' there it doesn't modify 'like'

Ils voudraient peut-être accepter mon idée
peut-être does modify voudraient here

@ruby iron

qu'est-ce que tu édites

[ruby iron]

media

[main field]

media

du média

quel média ?

[ruby iron]

wait

[main field]

what the 😭

[ruby iron]

i read that as études

[main field]

ahhh

[ruby iron]

bro my brain

[main field]

non parce que j'ai vu que tu étais sur un éditeur vidéo

du coup je me demande ce que tu fais

mais du coup c'est pour tes devoirs ?

[ruby iron]

en vrai je suis pas sur un editeur video

j'ai final cut pro

mais sur discord j'ai renommé mon googole chrome à "final cut pro"

donc je joue "Final CUt Pro

mais c'est mon google chrome

[main field]

xd

[ruby iron]

jai pas de projet mtn donc

[main field]

pour faire genre que tu bosses

malin

[ruby iron]

j'ai rien à éditer

[main field]

du coup ouais y'a un contresens là

[ruby iron]

ouai voila

et aussi ça a l'air de waou elle peut editer quoi

[main field]

well you really just have to put maybe at the beginning of the line

but it changes the meaning

[ruby iron]

mais comment ça

[main field]

can also be right after would

but i'd put it in the beginning

[ruby iron]

on peut mettre maybe à la fin aussi

[main field]

do u see what i mean?

im also not the fan of 'like'

ils veulent bien accepter is like

[ruby iron]

They would maybe want to accept my idea

[main field]

they accept to accept

bc i've been insisting

so they do it but they didn't want it very badly

kinda doing it for me

does that make sense 😭;

[ruby iron]

yes yes

[main field]

'maybe they would accept to embrace my idea' maybe

i think embrace works well here bc it's not like we're trying to pass a law

just changing mindsets

[ruby iron]

does thsi work
?

[ruby iron]

my english brain doesnt agree in terms of meaning

[main field]

idk about that 'want'

makes it sound like theyre all for that idea

when shes trying to get them to be barely on her side rather than the other side

Of losses, of misfits
that one just doesn't work
when shes saying Des perdus, des paumés shes talking about people, so losses doesn't work
and misfit is different

[ruby iron]

of losers

des et puis comment le dire paumés?

[main field]

i mean you live in the UK so you'd know better than me lol

[main field]

nooooo

just lost people

paumé also means lost but it's slang

[ruby iron]

mais je suis pas anglaise non plus

[ruby iron]

ok but how can we make the whole phrase

[main field]

'of people who are lost, who have no idea what they're doing/where they're going'

very long but it's the best way i found

[main field]

ça fait combien de temps que t'y es ?

[ruby iron]

4 ans

[main field]

ça commence à faire

[ruby iron]

of the lost, of the stray

that kinda connotes poeple

[main field]

And I know they are worth better than simple waste
more instead of better, right?

[main field]

oh yeah

i've always heard stray used for animals so idk if it's okay

[ruby iron]

ils sont démons quoi

ça va alelr

[main field]

Collins Dictionary says it can refer to a person

[ruby iron]

it can

well theyre in hell

and if im in hell

there are worse words than stray you can call me

[main field]

fax

Et les sors d'la misère
misery has a more general meaning in English

[ruby iron]
