The superiority of French over English

[Zakat]

Even though Superiority Is A Trait That Befits God Alone, for Only He Grants honor, I find reasons to believe that French is somehow more refined as a language than English.

Let us analyze.

"Je" stands for "I"

as in, for example,

"Je suis né en 1984."

as compared to (translation of what is just above)

"I was born in 1984."

For one, the French version seems to give more precise details than the English version.

The French sentence says explicitly that the person speaking (me) is male through the utilization of the word "né" (meaning born) but if it were a female speaking, the past tense of the verb in question would have had been used, which would have had produced the word "née" (meaning born but the extra e being added for a female newborn).

If I were a female, let us consider,

Je suis morte. (I am dead.)

But a male would have said, for the same meaning,

Je suis mort. (I am dead.)

Therefore, my conclusion is that the French language seems definitely kinda more refined and complexly more detailed than the English language, the point being the probability of attaining a higher emoqional quotient through the usage of French seems higher than through the usage of English.

Thoughts?

More on this later hopefully, God Willing.

Let us consider the pronouns

I / Je
You / Tu
He / Il
She / Elle
We / Nous
You all / Vous
They / Ils (many males)
They / Elles (many females)

As seen above, the level of detail is higher for the French language than for the English language.

Religion and spirituality

Religion et Spiritualité (French for the above, thanks to Captain Obvious by the way!)

​

In the light of the above, there does not seem to be much difference between the two.

Well, English comes from French. But the more developed English language is often associated with Shakespeare's texts. English has become simpler over time.

I agree about the simplicity of the English language. That could make it superior to French in its own way.

I myself am more of an English-language person than a French one, for now at least.
