There are many linguistic and cultural differences that distinguish us from Europeans, thanks to the evolution of culture on two different continents for about 400 years. Some differences may seem subtle, while others are confusing. To simplify things for our European friends, here is a list of Quebec words accompanied by their translation:
Quebec | Europe and some parts of the Commonwealth |
Can Corn Eggplant Fries Grilled cheese sandwich Pitcher Popsicle Shrimp Soft drink Sprinkles Supper Tap water | Tin Maize Aubergine Chips Toastie Jug Ice lolly Prawn Soda Hundreds and thousands Dinner Faucet water |
If you know more that might be useful in this list, please write them in the comments, I will add them as soon as possible.
