Emerald Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Merci, professeurs . Vous écrivez vite et vous parlez vite ! Je toujours dit a mes nièces: "Lentement, lentement, tante ne comprends pas!" Quand elles veulent me dire quelques choses . Emily: I noticed you wrote j'y peux rien. I learned: je n'y peux rien. Are both ways possible or did I learn wrong? Yep, it's the informal way of saying it. It's like when you say "je sais pas" instead of "je NE sais pas". It's really frequent in the spoken language.

Monie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I<3 Mika: congratulations (read it either in English or in French )! Profs: what does mois non plus exactly mean? I thought: neither do I. But then you have this song: je t'aime, and it continues: moi non plus. . I love you, neither do I? Surely I am missing something here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought: neither do I. But then you have this song: je t'aime, and it continues: moi non plus. . I love you, neither do I? Surely I am missing something here . "Congratulations" en français se dit peu (en tout cas en Suisse romande). On dit plutôt "félicitations!". "Moi non plus" veut bien dire "neither do I". Quand tu dis "je t'aime, moi non plus", c'est une expression. En fait, ça veut dire "je t'aime, moi aussi". C'est une plaisanterie (a joke)!

Ah, mais c'est permit, de dire moi non plus quand quelque'un te dit: je t'aime? C'est pas seulement pour la chanson? (it would be a shame when someone told you I love you and you would say: neither do I. Well, it would depend on the person who told you of course ). Est-ce que Il-y-a des autres situations quand on peut dire: mois non plus quand on veut dire: moi aussi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki27 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Monie, it's the whole purpose of the song. It's a play on words. Gainsbourg (the songwriter) was known for these. Je t'aime, moi non plus literally means, I love you... so don't I It's because the two lovers have this "I love to hate you and I hate to love you" relationship. And no there's no other situation where you can say that. Normally, the use of "moi aussi" and "moi non plus" is totally similar to that of "ik ook" "ik ook niet".

Dat zeggen we niet, Monie... als je "leuk" bedoelt, gebruik je liever "chouette" of "sympa" of "cool" dan "joli". Joli betekent mooi/knap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joli betekent mooi/knap Nee, zeggen we dat niet ? Ik heb het net gedaan . Ja, mijn Franstalige nichtjes hebben het ook over "cool". Ik vond dat al zo Frans klinken . Dus joli is echt mooi/knap, ik dacht ook leuk. En sympa is meer dan sympathiek? Mijn nichtjes zeggen vaak "il est chou" over onze kat. Dat betekent dat hij leuk is? Ik dacht lief of schattig ofzo.

Ik dacht lief of schattig ofzo. Merci voor de uitleg! Sympa = sympathiek, but we sometimes use it to say things like Le film était sympa: de film was goed/leuk etc. Or in expressions such as "c'est sympa de ta part" = "it's nice from you" Chou means "cute"/"lovely". We tend to use it to speak about sthg/someone that makes you melt, kittens, babies etc. I think I'd use "schattig" to say that in dutch, indeed. I hope my half english/half dutch explaination is clear enough.. I'm a bit tired tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 one of my new year's resolutions has been to revise my poor french. never got round to it so far, but we are still in the beg. of feb, so there's still hope my written french though, is worse than my spoken one (which says enough ). so i am afraid i could not take part to the lessons without writing smt completely unintelligible for you all..
