#honestly i should reread that one of these days
book characters in a book written in the 1800s: [occasionally breaking into french, regardless of what their native language is, because they read so much untranslated literature written in french and that specific expression Just Does Not Translate perfectly into whatever they native language is]
me:Ohdofuck off you pretentious fuck.
also me: [breaks into memes in english when talking finnish irl]
The copy of Anna Karenina I read as a fourteen year old had big chunks of untranslated French and I was like they already translated all the Russian into English, they couldn’t translate the French too???
