minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up15·12 天前“friar” is apparently a monk of specific Christian orders. From French “frère”, which just means “brother”.
minus-squareRustyNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·12 天前Oh. Now I get it. Actually pretty funny Thank you for this addendum
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·12 天前Yeah, I was a bit surprised that no one bothered to explain what a “friar” is, like I wouldn’t even expect all native speakers to know that word, depending on their culture. 😅
