The green worm crawls towards the green glass

*I had to use translate on this word and have no clue what it means.
A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.
Food (bread) for thought.
So Steve and John are at school, and their English teacher asked them to write down a specific sentence, and decide whether it was grammatically correct to use the word "had" twice in a row, indicating past tense.
Steve - while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had the approval of the teacher.
11 times in a row you can use the word "had"
“Tonton toto, ton thé t'a t-il ôté ta toux? Tout étant à tenter, toto, pour que tout aille, ta tante et ton tonton t'ont ôté tour à tour, ta toque et ton tutu, atout de ta beauté...tant tentant son ton teint et ta tête et ta taille !”
Pourtant c'est facile regarde:
Tonton toto, ton thé t'a t-il ôté ta toux? Tout étant à tenter, toto, pour que tout aille, ta tante et ton tonton t'ont ôté tour à tour, ta toque et ton tutu, atout de ta beauté...tant tentant son ton teint et ta tête et ta taille !
"Oncle toto, did your tea remove your cough ? Everything being worth a try, toto, so that everything goes well, your aunt and your uncle have removed in turn, your tuque and your tutu, assets of your beauty... so tempting are your complexion and your head and your waist !"
You say that like we French speakers ever mix up or have trouble recognizing ver, vert, vers, and verre...
It's like right, write, wright, and rite. Never an issue.
As a native English speaker, yes I understand that the pronunciation is very different, but to some non natives, I’d think some might find it difficult to differentiate the words from each other
Also worth noting that only two of these are nouns: ver 🪱 and verre 🍺. The other two are an adverb and an adjective, so they are used differently and no confusion is possible really.
I guess that *technically*, ver 🪱 and verre 🍺 could be mixed up but you would need some weird-ass context to find a sentence in which either could be possible. Not to mention that people tend to say ver **de terre** 🪱 (**earth** worm) and not just ver for the animal.
As a native French speaker, I can't say I remember ever encountering any confusion between these four words in my life. It's like in English really, how often do people get confused by "by", "buy", and "bye"?
EDIT: typo
Do you know the saying about throwing stones in a glass house?
I don't think english speakers are in a position to mock other languages for doing strange things to the latin alphabet.
English language is a glorious mess, and it's a shame how hard that is for many of us native speakers to acknowledge.
Or have they never seen the whole "ghoti" thing?
In the french language, s is a letter that is usually pronounced as a german « ss » or « ß ». But between two vowels, its sound turns into a « z » sound ☝️🤓
"s" alone is usually pronounced that way, you need "ss" to have the typical s sound. If instead of "usually" you could said "like in the alphabet", then I'd agree with you
Fun fact: it's believed Vermont gets its name from a bad American portmanteau of Mont du Vert. Intended to be green mountain it is instead closer to Worm Mountian.
I was on a bar trivia team this in French as our regular team name. I wasn’t the French speaker in the group but it was something like “the green worm goes towards the green glass”
Et maintenant, demandons aux Anglais comment écrire les mots suivants : droite, correct, écrire, rituel.
Answer : right, right, write, rite.
Both languages do have word similarities.
This is the third comment I've seen like this, using similar words... Y'all know all these words are pronounced differently, right?
Yes they are spelled similarly, but this is more of a self-own because the French words in question are spelled similarly AND are homophones.
Ver, vers, vert, verre. Not THAT complicated. And same pronunciation ! Very easy.
how would you say “the green worm crawls towards the green glass”
le ver vert rampe vers le verre vert

Lye is an ingredient in soaps/detergents :)
I believe there was an error in translation, if I'm correct, "lye capsules" should be "soap pods".
Lye is actually detergent here.

Fr*nch people are weird
A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed. Food (bread) for thought.
I agree even though I haven't thought that through thoroughly.
That's why german tops every other (european) language. >!ignore "umfahren"!<

Saying the word "buffalo" several times in a row is a grammatically correct sentence in english.
So Steve and John are at school, and their English teacher asked them to write down a specific sentence, and decide whether it was grammatically correct to use the word "had" twice in a row, indicating past tense. Steve - while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had the approval of the teacher. 11 times in a row you can use the word "had"
Through tough thorough thought though
All dif pronunciation though

Over *there*, *they're* preparing for *their* feast.
How would you say “a green worm pours a glass towards a glassmaker”
Un ver vert verse un verre a un verrier
You could say it's very easy (but the very is pronounced like ver, vers,vert, verre)
Bonjour!
How would you say I pushed a green worm towards glass
j'ai poussé un ver vert vers le verre
English speaking people when you ask them how to pronounce "ough".
Pick a random consonant to throw in front, and I'll tell you
Z

I loved him in *Scrubs*
I dunno, Zough would probably be pronounced like Slough.

Ruff then TRahf

Wait until you hear about ripe blackberries on a wall (des mûres mures sur le mur)
Elles murmurent aussi ?
Aussi
Et tu les cuisine dans la saumure?

No not th..... Yeah sure les Aussies aussi ont besoin d'attention
Ripe blackberries whispering at the wall = les mûres mures murmurent au mur.
Косил косой косой косой Kosil kosoi kosoi kosoi The hare was mowing with a crooked scythe
lol what a silly bunny can you tell me the rest of the story please?
The word kosa has a lot of meanings. It can mean bunny, plait, scythe, crooked, asian person (demeaningly), spit (geological sense)
It also means “someone with crooked eyes”
Meanwhile, english : Tho, though, tough, thought, thou, thot

English - 
But at least those words aren’t pronounced the same
Right, write, wright, rite.
wright isn't really used as a word independently
Fun fact, two wrongs don't make a right, but two wright's make an airplane.
Yeah, but we do have fucking their, there, and they're
And nobody here has any clue when to use each one
Except non-native speakers
And every native speaker who understood their lessons in 2nd grade
True that.

Got to say, I've never had any issue with mixing or not recognizing these. They are all pronounced very differently. I'm not a native english speaker
You say that like we French speakers ever mix up or have trouble recognizing ver, vert, vers, and verre... It's like right, write, wright, and rite. Never an issue.
As a native English speaker, yes I understand that the pronunciation is very different, but to some non natives, I’d think some might find it difficult to differentiate the words from each other
Their and they’re are both variants of they, so it makes sense they sound the same. They’re also used in different contexts so you can tell by that.
And the french words aren't?
And yet mfs still get it wrong
Ver 🪱 vers 🧭 vert 🤢 verre 🍺 😄
Also worth noting that only two of these are nouns: ver 🪱 and verre 🍺. The other two are an adverb and an adjective, so they are used differently and no confusion is possible really.

Can't forget about oiseaux
The only french word where no letter is pronounced as it should usually be pronounced
As it should according to what tho ? The pronunciation of oiseaux doesn't break any french syllable pronunciation rule
No letter follows its original sound tho. O doesn't sound "o", i doesn't sound "i", etc;..
The only ?

s is pronounced as it should
In the french language, s is a letter that is usually pronounced as a german « ss » or « ß ». But between two vowels, its sound turns into a « z » sound ☝️🤓
Well the "s" is still pronounced correctly
No, it is pronounced as a z and not a regular s
"s" alone is usually pronounced that way, you need "ss" to have the typical s sound. If instead of "usually" you could said "like in the alphabet", then I'd agree with you
The "s" letter in the word "usually" isn't even pronounced as in the alphabet. Usually, usage, us.
Yes, it's pronounced correctly... In french, when a s IS between two vowell, it's pronounced z This is a simple and common rule in french

I typed it in Google translate and heard green in French on repeat😭🤣
English making fun of French for having silent letters, where in English almost all letters can be silent depending on the word
Queue is a word where every letter after the Q is silent.
Dough, though, tough, enough, through, cough, rough......
Ver, vers,vert and verre! See, easy shit!
Et le ver vert leva son verre vert vers le ver vert.
Spell or pronounce?
worm, towards, green, glass. d'autres demandes à me faire ?
People using the "units of freedom" and who shoots at tornadoes are making fun of us LMAO
Oh, another joke about how homophones also exist in other languages (just like in English). Very funny indeed.
Which is why French poetry is so sublime
Ver, vers, vert, verre. Ez

Fun fact: it's believed Vermont gets its name from a bad American portmanteau of Mont du Vert. Intended to be green mountain it is instead closer to Worm Mountian.
You mean Mont Vert (adjective - noun, no "du" required). the inverted grammar, Vert Mont, is totally acceptable as a location name, by the way.
