If my grandmother was German, how much German am I?
Let me ask you this:Verstehst Du diesen Satz, ohne dass Du ihn in Google Translate eingeben musst? Und kannst Du Dich mit anderen Deutschen unterhalten? Zumindest ein Bisschen?Do you have a German passport? Do you know what Löwenzahn, Pusteblume, Die Sendung mit der Maus, Mainzelmännchen, Wigald Boning, und Bud Spencer are? Did you ever stand in line in a Rewe or Edeka to purchase bread on the day before Christmas or on a Saturday evening? Do you carry vast loads of cash? Did you ever buy something no one needs from a Tchibo Coffee House? Do you consider it to be the ultimate vacation to drive eight hours over a mountain range, hard boiled eggs and mineral water in your trunk, to sit with the the same people at the same lake in Italy for 30 years?Congratulations, you might have a little German in you.The lowest level of Germanness is having a German passport. That makes you, legally, a German. In this case, being German is black and white: either you have a passport (even a dual citizenship will suffice) or you don’t. Some people surrender theirs, but they’re generally the kind of German who wouldn’t call themselves German anymore after emigrating.Level 2 of being German is to have the above. You also iron your socks and underpants. You also don‘t hate the Dutch or Swiss, in fact a good friend of yours is Swiss or was in Switzerland once. You do hate the French. Especially the ones coming to Saarbrücken and complaining about there not being a French language menu at McDonalds.At Level 3 you’ll discuss Tatort at your place of employ every Monday morning, and know who’s in DSDS and who had to leave the Big Brother house.Level 4 is when you willingly purchase Helge Schneider tickets, because he was funny once, back in the 90s, when he did 00Schneider.Level 5 means you have an opinion on David Hasselhoff singing at the Wall in 89.Level 6 would be Angela MerkelThere is a Level 7, but they’re all dead. Karl Valentin, Heinz Erhardt, Rühmann, Willy Brandt, the cast of Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer, etc.

Only if you ask everyone in between the two of you to do the same.

My great-great grandfather was French, my great-great grandmother was Welsh, and my great grandfather was Irish. None of my parents/grandparents registered for citizenship. I am South African. Do I apply for any of these countries citizenship?
Unfortunately it seems you are too far removed from any of these to be able to claim citizenship though descent.France and the UK only allow citizenship by descent for one generation - that is you would need to have a parent who was a citizen (and for the UK at least, not themselves a citzen by descent.) Ireland will extend your claim to citizenship back to your one of your grandparents, but you are one step too far removed.

How much of French am I? My mom’s grandpa is French and my dad is full Cambodian.
If her grandpa is 100% french, then your mom’s father/mother is 50% french, your mom is 25% french, and you’re 12.5% french.It’s genetics : you get half your chromosomes from your mother and half from your father.I use a formula I kind of made up (it’s like a trick, not something you learn at school ), for the percentages : Count the number of generations from 100%( 100% is Gen 0 ) to reach your generation, make x the numberAnd then : 100/2^xYour children will have 100/2^4 = 6.25%In your case of 4 generations ( including Gen 0 ), 100/2^3 = 12.5%For your mother : 100/4 = 25%For her mother/father : 100/2 = 50%

Does 'Meme' mean Grandmother in French-Canadian?
Yes, a "mémé" is someone's grandma in french. We only use it to talk about our own grandmother, and it's quite familiar, but often used. Other words are "mamie" (a lot more common), or "mamé" (less common). Now if you're asking if "mémé" is also used in French Canada, I don't know.
French: How will you describe your father/mother in french?
Hello!Firstly you should think how would you describe them in English. Then translate that stuff in French. If you are not much into French vocabulary you can describe your father/mother in simple language.For example, if you want to describe your mother, it can be as follows:Ma mere s'apelle _(your mother's name). Elle a _ ans. (her age). Elle est _ (her profession). Elle est le meilleur cuisinier du monde. Elle s'amuse a (grave accent on 'a') jouer avec moi. Nous jouons les cartes. Elle aime aussi faire du shopping. Nous allons aux magasins ensemble et j'aime passer du temps avec lui. Elle est ma meilleur amie et je peux rien partager avec lui. Je ne peux pas imaginer ma vie sans lui. J'aime ma maman.I hope this helps you. If not, feel free to ask.
