francophones pronounce "chat" like anglophones: \tʃat\
So it's just Zoomer-speak ("Chat, I farted") instead?
The funny part is we decided to pronounce "chat" in perfect english, but the remaining letters will stay french no matter what.
So it's more like "female cat, I farted"
not really, because chatte doesn’t have the t in front of the ch sound, so it’s \ʃat\ (shat) instead of \tʃat\ (chat)
👆
What part indicates that it means female cat? You can use chatte for that but it also means pussy so probably don’t.
