I do plan to post something soon on writing and my questions relating to same, but Friday afternoon I was planting some flowers and I couldn't get that old children's song, Frère Jacques out of my head.
Frère Jacques
Frère Jacques
Dormez-vous?
Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines!
Sonnez les matines!
Din, dan, don
Din, dan, don
After all these years I just noticed that this is a song I am supposedly singing to my brother and I’m using the formal form of you, vous instead of the familiar, tu. Am I the only person this bugs? Do French speaking people even sing this song?
