The gentilesa! In lenga nòstra brave mond, podètz mean the gentilesa. So, does it seem that nice people are healthier? Aquò your espanta? Does that “scare you”? Does that surprise you a lot?

Indeed, it is said that being nice on a daily basis translates a positive turn of mind and a calmed approach to “the other”, that is more easily conceived! That is what is said. At the origina, aquela jornada èra celebrada lo 13 de novembre / originally, this world day of kindness was celebrated on November 13 but since the Paris attacks in 2015, aquela d’aquí se fa uèi lo 3 de november / this takes place on November 3.
In Occitan, spoke of the gentilesa mas tanben de la gentor!
In Occitan, we speak of the gentilesa but also of the gentor. Can say tanben the amabilitat (coma in lenga catalana!), Mas tanben lo gentum, the loving one, and even in certain corners of Gascony, you have the word charming which should be used instead when someone is a gentleman. Gentleman that you can translate into Occitan by gentleman.
Question: what do you say about a brave person?
A brave person, he is a pleasant person in Occitan, a helpful, kind person. Pr’aquò, es not coma en francés have tot còp, es pejoratiu when it was spoken of someone brave / however, it is not like in French where the use of brave is sometimes pejorative when one speaks of a person: ” he is very brave ”, ” she is very brave ”. In this case, we are referring to someone stupid / de pepiòt, çò disèm in Occitan.
