If you never took French est means is and doesn't have an e on the end. I really really wanted to correct her but I resolved to just write about it here and leave it alone. This is honestly the reason why I don't write down or like quotes from other languages because there's always the chance that what you thought was right was actually wrong. Like when people get Chinese tattoos and they think they are really poetic and beautiful and then someone who speaks the language tells them it actually is pure nonsense (see example A). I have a French quote in my room which is "m'aimer pour qui je suis" it translates to love me for who I am. I can explain exactly why it means what it means word for word but I'm not here to give you a French lesson so I'll spare you of that. Basically, there's nothing wrong with liking other languages even if you don't understand them or thinking words in other languages are pretty and wanting to share them, just make sure you get them correct.
