Let's learn French

[lunarious]

Post one word, or one sentence, one lesson in French and feel free to talk extensively about why it's important to you.

I'll start with: "Qu'est que ce vais dire?" Because I can repeat it. I apologize bad spelling.

Break it up:
Qu'est que = a fancy way of saying "what". We could've said just "que".
ce vais dire = "that will imply?"

Je Ne Sais Quoi

I don’t know.

Bonne soirée.

English Translation: Good evening.

I think this phrase is meant to be used when departing someone’s company in the evening.

embouteillage means "traffic jam." I don't know why I have always loved that French term.

My French teacher would always say "vite, vite", which means quickly, because she was from France, and spoke quickly.

Guys, while i said "Post one word, or one sentence, one lesson in French and 'feel free' to talk extensively about why it's important to you."

I meant this as a demand. I'm interested in 'Linear' explanation on how i can "learn" French objects. Not circularily going in circles. It's cool to tell me how you feel about these objects, but give me something i can use. Right?

Thumbs up to @Aspychata ... and hopefully some others for being Linear.

I'm "feeling" overloaded yet isolated by people. This post is an exception, yet still i'm overloaded here. I can't use what you offer here.

fermez la bouche

What I learned from hearing the kids in the next
classroom, in high school. I was in Spanish.
The other room was learning French.

The kids learning French frequently said "shut your mouth"
to each other, in French.

What does "fermez la bouche" mean in French?

 

[lunarious]

... i probably mean as that is indicative of Mercy and Power

non linéaire
Translates to : non linear


Qu'attendez-vous? and Qu'est-ce que vous attendez?

What do you expect?
