@nicole4fox when someone says "quoi ?" (what?) you say "feur"
"go fuck yourself" is "va te faire foutre"
"I don't give a fuck" is "je m'en bat les couilles"

“C’est ne pas ce que vous avez, c’est ce que vous faites avec.”
It ain’t what you got, it’s what you do with it.
The quintessential French sentence defying the permeable rule that you shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition.


The French language can be boiled down to one simple word. Learn to say it, and you hold the keys to French.PS I'm American :p :)SAY HELLO :D : on Twitter: @...

A word: "Merde!"
Better learning a language through the historical expressions.
(Joke aside, that's a complicated question, I don't really have a reply...)
@nicole4fox
I'm boring so:
- "Bonjour" (bɔ̃.ʒuʁ, bon-joor, "Hello") and its evening variant "Bonsoir" (bɔ̃.swaʁ, bon-swar)
- "Au revoir" (o ʁə.vwaʁ, oh re-vwar, "Goodbye")
- "Merci" (ˈmɛrsi, mer-see,Thank you)
- "S'il vous plaît" (s‿il vu plɛ, seel vuh play, "Please")
And hopefully you won't need it, but:
- "À l'aide" (a l‿ɛd, ah layd, "Help!")
Alcohol-themed:
"Apéro !" is a key-word to start partying
"Pinard" means wine
"Saucisson" is for sausages
They tend to come together like "pinard-saucisson"
If you're partying with drinks, "cul-sec !" means finish your drink in one go
"Je suis pompète" is being drunk
"Je suis bourré" is being very drunk
"Je suis arraché" is being drunk to the point of no return
"La fons-dalle" means you are suddenly hungry (you have it like in "j'ai la fons-dalle")
"la gueule de bois" is a hangover (you have it)
Also if in the morning you ask for a "baguette" in a bakery and the person keep talking, dont worry they are asking you which kind of baguette you want (little tip: ask for croissant they have only one type)
