The letter Q in French is the favorite letter for kids, because the pronunciation is "cul" like ass. Sorry I don't want to be rude but it is the truth. Q in English could also mean a queue, which means "tail" in French. In German the Q is pronouced Kuh, which means a cow. So there is quiet a variety in the Q's pronounciation.
So why do we write queue if we could just write q, or the french q instead of cul (ass) and Q instead of Kuh (cow) it would be much shorter.
And this post is the proof that quality goes over quantity, I mean it's short.
Next time you pronounce it
Q is a funny letter, don't know why we always have to have U after it. Except for Qantas of course. My favourite Q word is Queen.
ReplyDeleteGood post, Gattina. There were many words in Arabic beginning with Q and no U after it. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteThat 'dropcloths' is too danged funny!!! And ironically, the 'hammer' is covering HIS hammer....oh, dear...did I just SAY that?

ReplyDeleteAmazing!!
Blogtrotter Two just crossed Corsica from North to South. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!
Ha...Q is weird. Love the drop cloths cartoon...
ReplyDeleteI was really angry with a kid today. We were talking about snow fights, and he bent over and used his hands to make movements over his ass. I knew it was very rude in his culture. And I asked him why.
ReplyDeleteCommunication can be strange at times. The only word I know is the french word oui “yes” is all vowels. Once I was talking to someone from Holland and they didn't quite understand our “ph” sound is an f...word such as phone.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow I did find a few words the other day that the Q and following letter wasn't U.
Coffee is on
