One year

My LJ is one year old today. I've been around for one whole year. Ahahahaha.

And now, what?

I assume the French word "pain" has nothing to do whatsoever with the English word "pain"?

*laughs* You're quite right.

What do 11-12 year old French kids call an adult? (Stranger, teacher, relative).

Stranger/teacher would be Monsieur; you can write m'sieur in dialogues, cos this is how they would pronounce it. A relative -- well, it depends on the type of relative. Only an uncle would be called "Tonton", and that works better with a younger child -- 12-year-olds would certainly use the first name instead.

Thanks again :-)

Wow, French kids call their uncles by the first name (without title)? I never call my older brothers without the title "Older Brother." I wonder if my future children will cal their older sibling(s) by the first name only.
