#that 'il en manque énormément' just doesnt

"je suis l'élue"

#watching 13x5 #Gotta use this in a video sometime #it's nice the lines you kinda gain and lose in different languages #bc some just lend themselves to recontextualising in a video better than others you know? #like for example in english “theres nowhere near enough of it” has this...finality #gut punch of catastrophe #lends itself very well to taking and putting into other contexts #which ive done with that line #in french that one doesnt let you do that so easily #but vice versa i think 'je suis l'élue' has this recontextualisation facto that 'im the one' doesnt really #it's about a combination of words+delivery #i think it's about rhythm a lot too. bc the french voice actors really do an amazing job at matching the original line deliveries #but Im The One has 3 syllables whereas Je Suis L'éLue has 4 #similarly theres-No-where-Near-e-Nough-of-It has an up and down #that 'il en manque énormément' just doesnt #the english line has a beat while the french one more unfurls #it does have a bit of a rhyme with manque and -ment maybe #ilenmanque-énormément #two parts #anyway thats language thoughts of the evening
