Languages

It's always amusing and fresh to see the titles of different stories, mostly because besides English, the main languages being used are French, Korean or Chinese.

Now, I actually know all of these languages, so whenever I see a fanfic with a weird title, I'm always like, 'whaaaaa?' 

Please, all of you. 

If you're the kind of writer who likes to use different languages in your titles, make sure you're using the appropriate and correct words for it because native speakers (of that language) could be reading your story. 

Once I saw a title in Chinese (I couldn't remember) which translates to a certain type of food while the English means something else entirely. 

Tumblr is not trustworthy. 

(Nor is Google translate actually but at least they give you a word similar to the words in English you want to translate...)

Also. 

Adding 'le' in front of nouns does not make your title French. So please....

It wouldn't hurt to search up the correct word online, I suppose. 

(PS: wordreference is a website my French teacher allows us to use instead of google translate because she said it ) 

So please, literally, mind your language (pun intended) 

 

 

 

Excuse my mini-rant in the middle of the night, I hope I didn't sound too y > <
