Que notre joie demeure | Kevin Lambert

I am reading Que notre joie demeure, Kevin Lambert's latest, multiple prize-winning novel, and I have been so confused by his use of the word “plusieurs“ I had to google “plusieurs + québecisme + définition“ to get to the bottom of this. 😂 Here's what the Office québécois de la langue française has to say. Now I know that “plusieurs“ means “some“ or “several“ in Europe, but can be used to mean “many“ in #Québec. Live and learn...

LiseWorks I could have told you that as I'm a French Canadian lol 2mo
IuliaC This is good to know. I had no idea it could also mean "many" 2mo
Kitta Learned French in Canada and yes we use this to mean some/many lol 2mo

kwmg40 Interesting comment! I'm an Anglophone who grew up in Quebec, and while I can read novels in French (albeit slowly), I still struggle with vocabulary. However, I tend to have trouble with French books from France and not so much with French Canadian books. 2mo
Kitta @dilara haha my French is terrible but this word I know!! I want to start reading in French again though. I‘ll try and hit up the French bookstore here! 2mo
