lysw212 Posted April 8, 2006 at 12:19 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 at 12:19 AM I happen to have a T-shirt with some French words printed on it, I've been wondering what they exactly mean together? Here's the sentence: Les nouvelles sociabilities acoustiques seront les fondements de la communication de demain. Is it really French or some "fake" French? If it is, what would be the translation into English. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai ming Posted April 8, 2006 at 01:16 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 at 01:16 AM Looks like real French to me... (Please bear in mind that I have nowhere near native-speaker fluency in French, and I'm quite sleep-deprived too.) Using my really bad French-English translation skills*, the sentence would be translated as: The new acoustic sociabilities will be the foundation of tomorrow's communication. Now, what exactly "new acoustic sociabilities" are, I wouldn't have a clue : : *Skills involving copious amounts of cognate-guessing, and little attention paid to faux amis.

Jack MacKelly Posted April 10, 2006 at 08:09 AM Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 at 08:09 AM It could be real although I've once stuided French I have never heard of the term 'sociabilities acoustiques' so one might think this sentence is wrong You'd best ask a native-speaker to get your answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted April 16, 2006 at 09:54 AM Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 at 09:54 AM Even as a native speaker, I've never heard of sociabilités acoustiques, but this is proper French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
