Do you want a list of all the 'persons' I thought (and think) were (are) you?! >=

Yeah sure, now blame me for your schemes.
And I will make a list of persons I thought (and still think) were (are) you too.

Frans,

Jij bent misschien wel de grootse mongool die ik ooit ben tegengekomen.Je denkt dat je heel wat bent maar het tegendeel is waar, je betekent niks , je bent de meest zielige persoonlijkheid van dit hele forum.Maar goed , waarom zou ik mij iets aantrekken van een veertienjarig huftertje dan na school lekker wat mensen dwars gaat zitten op een nu GEHEEL VERPEST FORUM?!

«almost everybody uses hand gestures to amplify what we mean.»

Sander, tu ne peux quand même pas nier qu'il y a, chez les peuples latins (ou romans si tu préfère), une tendance à faire plus de gestes quand nous parlons que, par exemples, des américains. Evidemment, ça varie aussi selon les individus. Est-ce que tu as déjà vu un film avec Roberto Benigni, comme “La vita è bella” par exemple ? Ce gars-là utilise vraiment ses mains exagérément, même pour un italien ! :)

" Sander, tu ne peux quand même pas nier qu'il y a, chez les peuples latins "

Ne t'escrimes pas Yann, "Sander" est un contradicteur par principe. Quoi qu'on dise il le niera, c'est pour lui un jeu, car il n'a sans doute que ça a faire de sa triste vie...
Je suis sur qu'au fond de lui il a bien sur conscience de l'existance de l'identité latine, de laquelle il semblerait qu'il ait envie de vouloir faire partie. Comme ce n'est pas le cas il nie l'évidence de cette existance...

Yann,

=>chez les peuples latins (ou romans si tu préfère) <=

You know very well that this is nonsens.You know what I stand for and that sure as hell isn't that all those idiots who call themselves 'latins' should be called romans.

And about the handgestures, it's entirely personal.

Les Pays-bas sont un pays intéressant, et très exotique pour un Français. Ce n'est pas loin de Paris et pourtant on a l'impression de changer totalement de monde. l'expression des gens, leur langue, leur mode de vie urbain, leur manière de parler, de bouger, leur aspect physique, leur habitudes alimentaires (très dur pour nous les oeufs durs avec du thé au petit déjeuner!), les ambiances architecturales de leurs villes, la courtoisie des gens et leur respect des regles implicites (surtout au volant - quel contraste quand on revient à Paris!)
Non, globalement je crois qu'on aurait beaucoup à apprendre en échangeant nos différences culturelles avec les Nord-Européens et réciproquement.

1) The French in the North are more similar culturally and physically to the Dutch than to the Spanish.
2) The most common gestures of the French are the shrug of the shoulders and the pout.

" The French in the North are more similar culturally and physically to the Dutch than to the Spanish. "


Yes, true, but "Le Nord" (the North) region is only a little department formely part of Flanders. (and even not all "north department" was Flemish, only a part of it wich has kept a flemish flavour : the region around Dunquerke(diunkirjk) and Lille (Rijsel) (that's why it seem more similar to Netherlands than the rest of France) - It is really an exception, like Italian Tyrol where Germanic culture and German language continue to be spoken.

Steve k,

Absolutly wrong, culturally? what do you mean, dutch are usually protestant, it is not the case with the french from the north. At list, if you knew well France and its history, you would know North of France has been populated by immigration from Italy, Poland and Portugual.

There is absolutly not any common point between them. Jsut compare hte language and stop saying stupidities please.

=>diunkirjk<=

This is not Dutch,I trust this is phonetic French? The correct spelling should be "Duinkerken".

=>Absolutly wrong, culturally? what do you mean, dutch are usually protestant<=

The Dutch are mostly atheists, (85%) but if you want to talk in stereotypes, then the southern Netherlands and Flanders are usually Catholics

Sander : tu ne parviendras pas à nous convaincre de l'inexistence de caractères latins. Mais tu peux toujours essayer si ça te fait plaisir...

Culture is not just about language nor just about religion. Culture is about how people lead their lives. I have very good friends in Le Havre, Paris and the Loire region. I know Belgian people, Spanish people and Italian people. The way of life in northern France is more similar, in my exprience, in terms of approaches to life, business, leisure, and of course climate, with all that implies, to that of the Benelux and the Rhine area of Germany than it is to Andalucia and Naples for example. Of course it is not black and white.

Historically the Netherlands, Flanders and Burgundy were often part of the same kingdom and cultural sphere.

Are you taught in school to call opinions that differ from yours "stupidities?"
