«Bon matin» Ce sont les premiers mo

«Bon matin» Ce sont les premiers mots que j’ai entendus en arrivant au Québec, un matin… Et oui car là-bas, pour dire « bonjour » le matin, on dit «bon matin», et non «bonjour». Logique finalement, comme «good morning»… Mais c’est vrai que pour une française de France, ça surprend un peu au prime abord. D’ailleurs dans le langage familier, on ne dit pas «salut», mais «allo»…
J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir en tout cas à voyager au Québec, et découvrir une nouvelle façon de parler la langue française. Car le français québécois, ça n’est pas juste un accent différent, ce sont aussi beaucoup d’expressions que nous en France on n’utilise pas, ou qu’on n’utilise plus, ou qui ont changé de sens, ou qui sont nées de la proximité avec la langue anglaise…
L’enjeu n’est pas le même de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique. En France, on n’a aucun souci à incorporer dans notre langue des mots d’origine anglaise. Pour ma part, je considère que ça fait partie de l’évolution normale de toute langue vivante. «Sandwich», «marketing» ou «stop» sont devenus des mots français à part entière… Au Québec, l’approche est radicalement différente. Région francophone dans un pays à majorité anglophone, les québécois doivent défendre au quotidien l’usage du français. Un vrai match, où la langue de Molière doit défendre son pré carré face à celle de Shakespeare…

Match humoristique entre Shakespeare et Molière

Molière 1/Shakespeare 0

Alors attention, au Québec, surtout on ne dit pas «week-end», mais «fin de semaine», on ne dit pas «faire du shopping», mais «magasiner», on ne dit pas pressing, mais « nettoyeur« , on ne dit pas parking, mais « stationnement« … Une francisation qui va jusque sur les panneaux routiers, puisqu’on n’écrit pas «stop», mais «arrêt» !

Pour des Français, l’emploi de tous ces mots sonne un peu bizarre, car tous ces «anglicismes» sont vraiment devenus des mots français à part entière et sont rentrés dans le dictionnaire depuis longtemps. D’ailleurs, au Québec, on n’écrit pas « blog » (terme issu de l’anglais), mais «blogue».

Shakespeare 1/Molière 0

Mais tout n’est pas si simple dans le match entre Molière et Shakespeare. Parce que les Québécois emploient finalement pas mal de mots anglais eux aussi !
«Ah c’est trop cute» (mignon, ndlr)! Ca on l’entend à tout bout de champ ! Alors qu’en France, «cute», c’est vraiment un mot anglais, pas de débat là-dessus.
Pour soirée, ou fête, ils disent «party»… et au masculin en plus ! «Ah c’était trop cool le party hier soir»…
Au Québec, ils emploient aussi comme nous le mot anglais «job» pour dire «travail», mais ils l’utilisent au féminin… «une job», et pas «un job» comme on dit nous…
Autre mot anglais que j’ai plusieurs fois relevé dans le langage courant : «tough». «C’est tough», ce qui signifie, c’est difficile, pénible…

Du québécois au français, de quoi en perdre son latin…

Loin du match entre Shakespeare ou Molière, beaucoup d’expressions ou mots n’ont pas la même signification, en français ou québécois… alors attention aux faux amis !

Un «abreuvoir» en québécois, c’est une « fontaine » en français.
Un «5 à 7», c’est un verre entre amis ou entre collègues, après le boulot, alors que pour nous, c’est une sieste coquine entre amants.
Un «gang», c’est un groupe de copains, alors que pour nous ce sont des délinquants ou des voyous.
Une «poutine», c’est une spécialité culinaire, alors que pour nous c’est le Président/Premier ministre de Russie…
Une «camisole» , c’est un débardeur, alors qu’en France on l’emploie pour «camisole de force»: une chemise de contention qui empêche tout mouvement dans les hôpitaux psychiatriques.
Et au moment de passer à table, pas d’embrouilles hein ? Au Québec, pour le «petit-déjeuner», on dit le «déjeuner», pour le «déjeuner», on dit le «dîner», et pour le «dîner», et bien c’est le «souper»… D’où le joli mot de «souper-théâtre»… ;-)

Parler québécois, un français d’un autre siècle

Les québécois utilisent beaucoup de mots qu’on pourrait assimiler au «vieux français», que nous en France on n’utilise plus du tout… Comme «breuvage» pour dire «boisson», «dispendieux» pour dire «cher», «présentement» pour dire «maintenant», «souliers» pour dire «chaussures»…

Mon best-of des expressions québécoises insolites

Pour parfaire votre formation «parler québécois pour les nuls», sachez que les minettes/pétasses en boîtes de nuit, on les appelle les «pitounes», les insectes ce sont des «bibittes», les moustiques (mise en garde en passant, jamais vu de moustiques aussi voraces qu’au Québec…) ce sont des «maringoins», un bonnet, c’est une «tuque», adorer, c’est «capoter», une épicerie, c’est un «dépanneur», un bisou, c’est un «bec», une chanson c’est une «toune», une sucette, c’est un «suçon», un soutien-gorge, c’est une «brassière»…
L’auto-stop, c’est faire «du pouce»
Et la plus belle : tomber amoureux : «tomber en amour».

Le chiac : Shakespeare 1/Moliere 1

Le chiac, c’est encore autre chose… C’est le langage parlé par les Acadiens au Nouveau-Brunswick (province voisine du Québec au Canada), qui sont les descendants des premiers colons français établis en Acadie, alors appelée « Nouvelle-France ». Rien à voir avec le québécois, le chiac, c’est un drôle de mélange complètement improbable entre le français et l’anglais, où l’on conjugue en français, des verbes en anglais… Et ça donne ça :
«J’vais watcher un game» : je vais voir un match;
«J’aime ta jupe mais la way qu’à hang» : j ‘aime ta jupe mais pas la manière dont tu la portes
«J’ai parké mon car» : j’ai garé ma voiture
«J’ai crossé la street» : j’ai traversé la rue…
Là c’est Molière et Shakespeare qui se retournent tous les deux dans leurs tombes non ? A moins qu’ils ne soient finalement réunis justement… pour le meilleur et pour le pire… Quel beau mariage ! Encore mieux que l’esperanto pour mettre tout le monde d’accord! ;-)
