rustyfish@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

Omelette du fromage.

The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.

ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca · 20 pts · 1y (5 replies)

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.

Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.

Courantdair@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 1y

Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"

Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)

Takapapatapaka@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.

abbadon420@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

That sounds like the Dutch word for cheese, "kaas". Only where you have a stumped /au̯ / sound, we have a long /a:/ sound.

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.

Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

Dasus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

That is not how you pronounce Keijo. (I'm just teasing, as it's a Finnish name and you're just estimating a pronunciation. We should all learn to use the IPA I think.)

Kummeli Jackpot — Keijoa huijataan

We call it "juusto" pronounced yuuh-sto
