@hightor,
French is a Latin-derivative language .
The Germanic languages are not related, but all the Romance languages arise from Latin. Btw, why aren't you speaking Latin?

Latin is a classical language.
French, as far as I'm concerned, is not worth anyone learning to speak it.
The words individually do not mean what the words as a group say, thanks to frequent figures of speech.
You accused "you people" of making these compilations. Nor were they difficult to seek out. The point is, if your leader is slaughtering animals or something, you can accuse people of "seeking out dirt" but the dirt is happening, those animals are still dead, and you're in denial of it.
Quote:There once was a tender-hearted woman who rescued a poor, half-frozen snake from near death in the winter cold. “Take me in, oh tender woman,” the snake cries out. “Take me in, for heaven’s sake.”
So the tender-hearted woman takes the snake into her own home, warms it by the fire and feeds it milk and honey: “If I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died.” But instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite.
“I saved you,” cried the woman. “And you’ve bitten me, but why? You know your bite is poisonous, and now I’m going to die.” “Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin. “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”
Just because you'd like to pretend that your leader isn't a child groper, hasn't inflated the economy, hasn't screwed with gas prices, etc, doesn't mean it isn so. I don't "go looking for" these things. They are there, and easily accessible. That you're in chronic denial is not my business.
Quote:In current French usage, the phrase may be used ironically to imply the presence of a hidden agenda or a conflict of interest.
What would be my hidden agenda? Meanwhile, I can clearly see an agenda for turning a blind eye to what is obvious to anyone who knows how a groper would be treated anywhere else in polite society (if Biden weren't president, he should be arrested for fondling minors like this).
