Re: *Make you frozen strawberry yoghurt pie*
Date: 2005-04-22 03:16 pm (UTC)OK, let's make this a little ethnic then :D. French kds would probably have a glass of milk and a couple of French biscuits: either choco-BN (http://users.skynet.be/alabdpublicitaire/bd0488.htm shows a schtroumph eating a choco BN), or Petit Beurre. Or else, they'd have a piece of baguette with 2 squares of dark chocolate, maybe even a pain au chocolat (some sort of chocolate croissant) - but that's more morning food, probably.
Now, this is traditional France; I guess that nowadays they may have something more, uh, international (i.e. a candy bar or something), but these products (choco BN et petit beurre) still exist today and have a strong tradition behind them. I mean, I had these for snack as a kid, I still buy them when I go to France for a visit and I would certainly buy them for my girls...

I assume the French word "pain" has nothing to do whatsoever with the English word "pain"? *g*
Another question (sorry for all this irrelevancies): What do 11-12 year old French kids call an adult? (Stranger, teacher, relative). I'm deliberating on what LittlePrince!Harry should call Narrator!Snape in my fanfic.

Date: 2005-04-24 06:32 am (UTC)*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.
Re: help with French
Date: 2005-04-24 01:36 pm (UTC)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.
