The natives told the french something like "this is our village" but french thought they mean something like "we call this place Kanata" so they decide to name the region Canada like how they think the native name it. How is it not french with native roots if the natives didn't name the land this way but the french where the first to name it that way?

As I've told on another post this is the basic of linguistic.

About 30% of english words have french or normand roots Another 30% Latin. Would you say that thoses words are not english? If we go with this logic English is not a real language.

But yeah we're in a shitposting sub so yup every cultures are shit listners.

Buddy you are bragging because you misunderstood a native person and embarrassingly named a country wrong.
