everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher but I answer you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is what are the different uses of sheesh this is a good example of a word that has multiple meanings you've probably already learned that she plus a personal pronoun means home for example Yohan Oshima means I'm going back home but it can also mean at an office for example g2v on Oprah she Disney means I found a job at Disney and Jenna Honda Vaishali medicine means I have a meeting at the doctor's office finally she can be translated as among or pertaining to for example Shelley francais see normal demoted evil means among French people it's normal to eat horsemeat and is America the socialist Santis AHA means among Americans socialists are rather rare and silly Sbisa means that strange for him so to recap she can be a preposition to refer to someone's house or office but it can also be a more figurative preposition meaning for them amongst these people etc it has a fairly broad meaning and can be used in lots of situations for example if you want to talk about American culture or politics you can use the same phrase she is American as long as the subject is understood she works just fine try to incorporate it into your spoken French you will sound much more fluent even when you don't know a word do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them as gentle hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher where I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is when do you pronounce the S in pris you might think you should never pronounce the s in place unless it's before a vowel but French is an irregular language and please is no exception whether you pronounce the S increase and whether you don't also depends on what you mean so when do you pronounce the yes when you want to say there is more of something for example reduce the wha means I have more friends than you and when don't we pronounce the S when we are using proofs in a negative sense so if you want to say no longer we say in the pre SH for example you know some prisoners meaning we are no longer friends so when you have more of something add an S when you are missing something lose the S this is helpful because French speakers often drop in negative constructions so if someone says sheep loose denim ooh you will know that mean they have more animals if they say the prudent move you know that they no longer have any animals that's it easy right do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them Anna - hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher what I answer you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is how do i form the future tenses and when should I use them there are two future tenses in French the future posh and future sample posh means near when we use which of course we're talking about the near future things that will happen soon conjugation is easy we use the present tense of ally to go and then add the infinitive so the verb nagi to swim becomes Raveena ji meaning I'm going to swim to Vanaja meaning you're going to swim LLL vanish e meaning he's going to swim and so on to make the future Santa we add the stem plus the ending the verb stem for e and ear verbs it just the infinitive so verb stem for Nagi is Nagi the verb stem for finish to finish is finish for verbs we drop the e so vonda becomes vantaa the endings are very similar to the present conjugation of avoir they're always the same a however there are irregular stems which you will have to memorize we go through the most important ones now saying the verb it's them a sample conjugation and it's translation Ali yeah ga I will go at say Chisora you will be Ava Oh Aloha we will have proved wah puh-puh-puh we will be able to vulva vu de Vaudreuil you will want to venir V and Alexander home they will come savoir so jus soli I will know fair fair triphala you will do or make over Yi over and over her she will send okay so which one should you use you'll use the future of push for the near future and sit yourself for things that are further in the future if you are going to go swimming right after this listen use feature of course juvinity if you will swim in the ocean on your vacation in Barcelona use feature example you national Amer future sampler is also used in some forms like if statements but we will cover those in later lessons so don't worry about it now if you use most the future posh when speaking you'll be just fine do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher well I am so you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is what is like Adam inferences l'académie française or the French Academy is the foremost authority on the French language they are the ones that decide the standards and rules or norms of the French language the people who make up the Academy are known as in motels or in motel there are famous writers academics and politicians who are elected for life the Academy was founded in 1635 during the 17th century France had a thriving salon culture a salon is a gathering where people interact for amusement and also to spread knowledge through conversation here men and women of different classes could discuss art politics and linguish on equal footing this salon culture helped establish friends as the center of culture it also made French the language of refinement and reason in Europe the Academy began as a salon but captain our duty should you Chief Minister of louis xiii took it under his wing he was determined to create a powerful french state centered around the king he turned the academy into a public institutions and charged it with making clear rules for the french language but what is the purpose of the academy its main goal is to produce the french dictionary however it took a long time to finish the first dictionary published by the Academy took 54 years to complete today still meets and creates dictionaries its rules are not always followed even by members of the government but it still has a powerful influence on French culture the French language is one of the main thing that binds French people together many people see the French language as France's greatest achievement in the twentieth century Albert Camus famously said moppet will sell along France's my homeland is the French language that said French people were not always United in language instead of one language there were mainly original languages in 1790 for at least six million people out of 28 millions French citizens couldn't speak French at all during the French Revolution for the first time the government needed the consent of the people the French language became one way to unify citizens some revolutionaries in Paris were extremely suspicious of regional dialects and identities these days regional dialects are not as common but they still exist Kousaka Booton gallo Basque franco-provençal ox eaten and Catalan have official status in their regions and that's it I hope I answered your question if you have any more questions please leave a comment below and I try to answer them a gentle fusion hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are some English words that French speakers often use there are a lot of English words that I used in spoken French and a lot of words of foreign origin in general however because they are not considered proper French they are all treated as linked l'académie française or the French I can me regularly comes up with French words to replace these foreign words but they don't always catch on let's take a look at some examples this one must be the most popular the word okay if you want to speak proper French say Becca or its shortened form back but you will hear French people say okay all the time here are some more examples you can probably guess their meanings a weekend a meeting fell juggling fell chuckling and stress clothes are commonly referred to you using English words as well for example ampulla is a pullover a sweet a t-shirt Regina here's a fun fact the English word denim actually comes from French since denim originally came from the French city name they were the name or from name technology-related words are often from English as well for example Luigi or Wi-Fi clicky or to click blog podcasting the list goes on not that foreign words are always masculine so a lot of times you can use an English word with a French accent and it will mean the same thing but there are other times that they can mean a bit different let's go through some examples a nele is an email not a letter of post mail top actually means best here's one that's a bit tricky and interview if someone is being interviewed by the press then it's Annie tell you if you are going to a job interview then it's a Natasha here are also some non English loanwords which comes from Arabic ambled means a small town Lukas ba means house and cafe is a verb meaning to like a love and that's it for now do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French questions the question for this listen is what are some good words to connect and contrast sentences or thoughts this is a very important subject using connecting words will help you express more complex ideas it will bring your friends to the next level and you're so much more fluent here are some useful words to get your studied if you want to add more to what you've said use these phrases oh please meaning in addition to a note meaning moreover dooku meaning so that means not that Dooku is very informal and should only be used in conversation if you want to show a causal relationship you might choose Prisco meaning since or because for example brisk acidity remotion glass this means since it's summer I eat ice cream if you want to contradict a sentence you might use malgré meaning despite an example is Gemma she's anemic Lillibridge meaning I fell asleep despite the noise so proton and Numa does mean however Kota means as for for example can tell we in the pet food omnia this means as for him he couldn't sleep sinem means otherwise an example is fat lava cell signal is a very vocal veneer meaning watch the dishes otherwise the bees will come back I love cute and tonic you both mean whereas or while and bianco means even though this needs to be followed by the subjunctive okay that's it try using these words in your conversations they will really help take your friend to the next level do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them all - see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer you must command French questions the question for this lesson is when should I use the subjunctive the subjunctive can be difficult for English speakers since English doesn't really have a subjunctive mood luckily conjugating decision T's is pretty easy the endings are always the same but there are some irregular stems we'll go over some of the irregular stands in this listen so you can get used to them so when do we use the subjunctive we use the subjunctive after expressions like contra do to fear a McCue - like the dista - to hate sweetie cure to wish do take you to dolt some liquor to seem and fell water to have two or mists what do these expressions have in common they express fear a wish command and uncertainty things like this are what we have subjects his feelings about okay let's look at some examples just be continuity suicune tone meaning I'm happy that you're happy is a feeling and do virtually fast meaning I want him to do it expresses a will or desire there are a few things to not hear one we need two subjects for the subjunctive one person wanting wishing fearing or demanding another person to do something SIGINT take a look at this sentence and the prospects report on say this were subjunctive can get tricky she doesn't think that I can speak French meaning she doubts that I can if she thinks I can then there is no attitude of doubt in this case we don't use the subjunctive so in the papal secure to not think uses the subjunctive we're response acute to think doesn't do people use the subjunctive in spoken French this is a tough question in written French you must use the subjunctive when necessary but in spoken French it's not so common however if you want to speak proper elegant French then definitely use the subjunctive do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them and also see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher where I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how do I make if statements in French if statements are a great example of conditional sentences this means that one part of the sentence is conditional to the other parts it can only happen if the other one does there are three ways of making an if statement and they vary in how likely or unlikely something is to happen first let's talk about the most likely to make this statement we use the present tense or the present perfect with the future tense if I see him I will say hello Sidorov wa rida Lieber oh it's not certain that you will see him but if you do it's certain that you will say bozo next let's talk about something that is unlikely here you should use the imperfect and the conditional this form describes what would happen if the first part comes true at the moment it's not true but it could be for example Sympatico Musa hey untouchable meaning if we practiced we would be unstoppable you probably remember the imperfect you use it to describe things you used to do in the past the conditional tense might be new to you to form the conditional use the same stem as the Future sampler and add the buffet endings easy right finally let's talk about things that are impossible this uses the conditional perfect this form is purely hypothetical using if things had gone differently in the past then things would be this way for example C Java coding ameri-ghen le petit dosa Pedro this means if I had listened to my mother I wouldn't have been in this mess let's have more examples for a situation where something would really happen if the condition is fulfilled citric would uncocks a podcast to process emilio ha meaning if you listen to this podcast again your french will improve for a situation where the condition is yet to be fulfilled set a particular group to process or a chasm or pave this means if you're practiced every day your french would be almost perfect lastly for a condition that is impossible to utter situated in France yo hey DJ paliku homophone say this means if you were born in France you would already speak French fluently ok well that's all for this listen if you have any more questions please leave then the comments below and I try to answer them again to see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer your most common French question the question for this lesson is why are French words spelled so differently from how they are pronounced French spelling and pronunciation may be one of the biggest stumbling blocks for French learners and there are lots of reasons why French words look so different from how they are pronounced the main reason is history the French language is often called a mix between Latin from the Romans and Girish the ancient language of goal of modern-day France and Belgium Latin was used as the writing system but all the time as more people became literate French also became a written language the only problem was that there was no standardized way of spelling here to heal was sometimes spelled with an A for Maj was sometimes spelled like this Francois was famously spelled with a Y and remembered that many of the people who could read and write also knew Latin so when l'académie française was task with standardizing french there was a big debate should French be spelled the way it sounds or should it show its Latin roots for this reason it might feel like you are only pronouncing half a word this is to show it's Latin origins which were once pronounced or just as important the pronunciation might have changed while the spelling stayed the same for example the ending of third-person plural verbs used to be pronounced now it's silent and just sounds like the third person singular it also led to some interesting spelling innovations for example the circumflex this accent means that an S used to follow the letter feds used to be fast of fists but used to be best or best so the short answer is that our language changes why spelling often stays the same however in 2016 D Academy made spelling reforms if you pay attention you can see language changing all the time did you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't Oh see you soon hi everybody can is here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is why do some verbs sometimes use at and sometimes use of work to make pasta composition as you might remember some verbs in past compose a are conjugated with it instead of avoir these verbs are our doctor and mrs. van de tram verbs doctor and mrs. van de Trump is a mnemonic device for remembering the verbs conjugated with Edie there are verbs associated with movement and change but sometimes you will see a van de tram verb conjugated with avoir instead why it all has to do with meaning if you are talking about the subject moving or changing use it you use Avril as your auxiliary verb when there is an object in vote let's take a look and see how the meaning changes with some examples lucy Sotiris wha means I went out for the night the subsidy valley's means I took out the suitcases because the action is happening to the suitcases you use avoir just immunity means I went up while means I brought up the suitcases and the 3ds on Judith huh means I got up the train he disowns really varies means I brought down the suitcases restaurant three means I came back home while the whole tradition means I brought in the dogs just rigatoni alla Villa means I came back to the city while zero to vanilla tab means I turned the table over here's a tricky one loose women today licensure gym until a scary the first means I went upstairs in the elevator and the second means I took the stairs up so be careful Pasi is a special verb because the meanings are very different xuxa Parsippany literally means I passed by the bookstore or I went by the bookstore repass aletheia Daka means I spent the summer in the cache if you want to describe movement use H 2 conjugate passage if you want to talk about figurative passing like passing time use avoir for example le petit palais port means she went out through the door and ella pasilla weekend the Vixen kapa means she spent the weekend with her boyfriend finally el mapa serie cell means he passed me the salt so remember that if you conjugate with avoir the action is happening to a direct object if you use it the action is happening to you that's it I hope that answered your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them again so you soon hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher what are you so you must come on French questions the question for this listen is what are some good recommendations for studying French through movies and music you could write a book to answer discretion but we try to be short friends has been at the heart of movie culture since the beginning of cinema Nouvelle Vague or new wave was an art movement in the 50s and 60s Francois Truffaut was one of its most important meetings in or directors the 400 blows or Likud sungkoo and stolen kisses or visibly are some of the films he made about one character or 21l from childhood to adulthood and they used the same actor from when he was a boy until he was an adult the Battle of Algiers or la bataille del G is actually an Italian film but it's about Frances loss of the colonial Julia it's a very intense film and stars some people who were actually involved in their Aegean war if you want to learn more about the north of friends check out welcome to the sticks or the Avenue she dish dish this is a more recent committee and plays heavily on North End stereotypes so take it with a grain of salt hate or Lane is another very intense film it takes place in the suburbs of Beaulieu of Paris another good film that takes place in Libya is Gerould or bomb douchy it follows a teenage girl growing up in the suburbs you might want to relax a bit after watching these intense films for that I would recommend Lefebvre distante manipular which is also known as a Millie's this is a very popular movie from friends and is known for its romantic portrayal of Paris another fun film is children of paradise or Liz Infante a parody an old movie about a very talented for music we'll go over some of the major of French stars Serge Gainsbourg is like the Bob Dylan of France but with a greater love for controversy in his songs he covers everything the 60s his love affairs with the most beautiful woman in France breguet his daughter he also sings about World War two which as a young Jewish boy he spent hiding in an orphanage you might already know Eddie Jeff's music from the film Inception a film was also made about her life called Lumumba better known as levy of Oz if you like more modern music I recommend NTM a famous rap group Java is another rap group though it is not as hardcore as NTM Genesis is an indie band that often collaborates with the French singer Alicia Riza and new odyssey is a good start if you interested in French rock but whatever you like music is a great way to connect with other people so look around and listen to lots of music you'll be studying French without even realizing it if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I'd love to see you soon hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher but I answer you must come on French questions the question for this listen is how does the

the comments below and I try to answer them a bientot hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is when should I use the pronoun Oh is a very useful personal pronoun it is conjugated exactly the same as L L meaning he or she and it means either one a week home is a special pronoun because sometimes it refers to no one in particular in English we might translate it at the general one for example a pas he improve one is Ossian mesm de creville celeb means in paris one can see the former homes of famous writers because who is used in an indeterminate way it's very important in making the passive voice for example majeeda party meaning I was told to live or on that Whovian potiphar meaning a wallet was found but more commonly who is used to mean we it's actually less formal than using new and it connotes that Oh is a group or in bond in French so it's more friendly and familiar because it's conjugated like ill L it's also easier to conjugate than new for example only Telugu cinema in univille and welcomed in D means we went to the movies and saw the new comedy o is used all the time by native speakers it's easier to conjugate so if you use em you'll sound more fluent and have less to conjugate and that's it if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I'm not so see you soon hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how do you say something looks like resemble smells like or tastes like first let's go through the useful verbs whose only means to resemble an example is it was all an act or carrucan a meaning he looks like an actor I know another verb is service only meaning to look alike LVN Dada condiment Wizards oho some recommen means they come from different sides of the earth but they resemble each other anyway Evalia do means to seem like ought to look like an example is so palpable meaning this meal looks good another example is said shyly and pinellas meaning this girl looks a little nervous the verb salsa means to smell like to taste like all to feel like so tea has a lot of definitions so let's go over this in more detail overall you can think of something as meaning to have the feeling of salty salty a vasanta can be used to talk about emotional feelings and thoughts but we soldier the feeling can also be taste smell or touch you can tell what it means by context but it's usually used to mean to smell like if someone walks into the room covers their nose and says Cecily Shusett you know they mean it smells like socks if someone is eating a soup and says Sasori champignon this means it has the taste of mushrooms if someone says this they probably mean there is just the hint of mushrooms in the soup the last verb is a Valu good to taste like an example with this is salut could acquire exact mo this means what does it taste like exactly be careful not to mix up a value good and guty because guite means to literally taste something and you can't use it to say something tests like the subject has to be a person so amputation propagate Italia means a soup cannot taste the garlic and it doesn't make any sense the correct sentence would look like this Ramudu requital Evander's esse I would like to try as a Sein wine gu t is a great verb for sharing and for trying new food which you'd definitely want to do in France here are more examples Thiago T meaning do you want to try it or Goethe lupa illa Frey meaning try the bread it's fresh and that's it for this lesson if you have any more questions just leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I've been told see you soon welcome to introduction to French my name is Alicia and I'm joined by hi everyone I'm Kandace in this lesson you'll learn the basics of French grammar in some languages like French nouns are divided into different classes for example French divides nouns into two classes using gender masculine and feminine let's take a look at some masculine nouns li form our village liver now feminine nouns yeah boo-hoo-hoo zu celeb there are some rules for learning the gender of French nouns but they're quite complex many consider the designation of gender to be largely arbitrary so it's likely that you'll just have to memorize them okay so now you know that nouns are divided into gender classes but why is this important learning gender nouns is important for forming sentences in French for example li means bed in french and it's a masculine noun if you want to refer to the bed in a sentence however you need to add before the noun Lily in fact if you want to refer to any masculine noun in French you need to use Ruth or a la fromage the village I live on the other hand we use LA and in to refer to feminine nouns like Pierre la boo in Rajesh in Sealab now you know how to refer to nouns in French similar to nouns French verbs can also be separated into different classes there are three classes of verbs in French and they are verbs ending in a morte Najee Hawaii ami verbs ending in ear chin ear Hinata Reggie and verbs ending in her wah and ear movie who serve wah Leah each class of verbs will be conjugated differently when used in a sentence let's take a look at a few examples to see how they differ to swim is noisy in French and it comes from the first group because it ends in a I swim in the present tense would be Jenna's past tense would be June Asia and the future tense would be the natural hey let's compare that to a verb in group 2 to finish is finish in French and it comes from the second group because it ends in ear juicing rafi say rafinha a finally a verb from group 3 to read is live in French and it comes from the third group because it ends with her Shirley Shirley they yay we'll teach you how to properly conjugate verbs of different classes in future lessons for now just know that there are three different categories of verbs in French okay now you know about nouns and verbs in French let's learn how to form basic sentences in French forming sentences in French is quite simple especially for English speakers as French uses the same word order as English consider the following example Lu Jackson mores and get two in English this sentence means the boy eats a cake if we break down the French sentence we can see that the other matches the English sentence one-to-one Lu the gassim boy more it's um ghetto cake we can create basic sentences in French simply by exchanging English words for French words not just how we use ah here because ghetto is a masculine noun if the object had been a feminine noun we'd have used in instead we can create any basic sentence in French by starting with a subject in this case the boy Lou Jackson then follow it with a verb eats moja and finally end with the object the cake on get to as you can see the word order in French is just like English finally let's learn how to create negative sentences in French negating sentences in French is simple simply add new before the verb and pas after its Z ronita Zemlya sanim palea Juliet more Juliet namaz Rupa you can negate any basic sentence in French this way well done let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned in this lesson you learned that French nouns are divided into two classes masculine and feminine similar to nouns French verbs are divided into three groups French uses the same subject-verb-object word order like English and finally you learned how to negate sentences in French hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is how do i express doubt or uncertainty in English we usually use modal verbs to express doubt or uncertainty like might or would French however doesn't have modal verbs you have to use completely different constructions let's start with might as in I might go to the party the easiest way to do this is to simply add the adverb potat meaning maybe so you would get a reputed calafate another way to say might or may is to use a super q plus the subjunctive for example is super cute about your swattin pana meaning it is possible that the car is broken down or the car might be broken down but be careful if you want to say something might have happened in the past you have to use past subjunctive so for example is super casual English this means I might have read it or it's possible that I've read it let's move on to code and take the sentence I could eat a well in this case you're speaking about something you could do in the future so you use the conditional on the verb can which is proved WA and you get a super emotion belén but let's say you want to talk about something you could have done in the past in this case you would use prove ah in the past perfect for example promotion velena meaning I could have eaten a whale now let's look at would you probably already know this form in the present tense for example Rivoli Lukic Monsieur I would like the croque monsieur this is the conditional present you may also remember it from a previous listen about if statements for example and party receives it's a play meaning we would live if you were ready this is case two an unlikely situation that could come true if something else happened first if you want to say that you would have in the past then just conjugate the verb in the conditional perfect for example judy voodoo on croque-monsieur meaning I would have liked a croque monsieur finally let's talk about showed should is conjugated as the conditional of the verb do voir meaning to have two or musts then you add the infinitive of the verb that you should have done for example reduce memory meaning I should eat or undo the party meaning we should leave this is a very helpful construction so make sure to memorize the conditional present tense of the wah if you want to talk about something you should have done conjugate the wah in the conditional perfect I should have eaten would be jewelry jewelry we should have left would be unagi Jupiter you should have memorized it would be the Soviet Jewry memorization and that's it I hope that helped if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them ad on to see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I am so you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is what our bond is Enosh Vaughn destiny our comics and there are an important part of French culture friends has the third-largest comic book market in the world after u.s. and Japan in fact biddies are often

interesting stories that's it do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't know see you soon hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher but I am Sonia most common French questions the question for this lesson is what is the difference between an a hominid and ham these words seem very similar but you have to memorize the differences otherwise you might confuse whoever you're speaking to so let's go through them the base verb money means to lead it's a more general term for example Nepali human seasonal capital means Napoleon leads his army to the capital and this permanent Bunji means I hope to lead a good life M&E means to lead to or to take someone to someplace you bring someone to someplace and leave them there hominy means to go with to bring someone along you go someplace with another person stay with them hominy means to lead back to take someone back you take someone back to the original place these prefixes are also used for the base verb party meaning to carry or to bring remember that party can only be used with inanimate objects if you are talking about a person cats or even an alien you have to use many a party means to take - to bring - you're bringing something someplace and leaving it there operty means to bring with you're bringing something someplace and staying with it Hypatia means to bring back you're taking something back to the place it belongs or its place of origin so remember the prefixes ah take and live oh bring with and bring back one more time ah take and live Oh bring with and bring back if remember the prefixes you should know the meanings that's it for this listen I hope that clears things up for you if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't see you soon hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher but I am so you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is how can I sound cool in French this lesson will go through the phrases that are more casual a little younger a much more slang they are not proper French so be careful to be casual the most basic thing to do is drop the no in negative constructions juicy paw I don't know there's only preesh I don't have any more she donated water I only slept for three hours now if you want to get even more casual don't fully pronounce ruh ruh CIPA becomes cheaper it's best translated as I dunno and we can do it with any verb for example Squa meaning I think so you'll also hear this contraction with two for example the Softee so we can means did you go out this weekend Chui becomes they use this with people you know well and only in spoken language if you use it in writing it will be in gumford a big mistake next is Singapore taqwa this is just one of the ways to say something is crazy in French nepata qua means whatever in French but in this sentence it's closer to anything goes other ways to say crazy are se dong si oof this is lang for foo meaning crazy maybe you want to emphasize how crazy something is one option is to add quoi at the end of your sentence this can come after any sentence and it emphasizes your points for example 7dq qua means this is so ridiculous neck's is a trick du feu loot which means the thing the stuff it replaces lashes and twig tofu is the stuff of crazy people loot which secure means the thing is see you rich where is the thing now we're going to go over some slang words means to work goofy means to eat or to chow down piccoli means to drink or to knock back so Cassie means to live or to split ammulu is a job a pert is a friend gross means big huge and the SEMA home means that's funny and if you really want to sound slangy replace three with two an example is set home a home meaning it's too funny and citable means it tastes too good here's a simple conversation of slangy French see if you can understand it this often lacks wah-wah shahbazi pre-brew fee typically operatic me but literature security in gross suave she don't eat was Estonian Shimoda fatsia it means did you go out yesterday I worked then ate and drank a little with my paws the thing is that it was a big night and I slept only for three hours now I'm dead tired and that's it remember to speak casually only to people you know well okay do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I've got to see you soon hi everybody can this here welcome to ask a teacher what I answer you must come on fresh questions the question for this listen is what is the gymnast and when should I use it regime dish is like the ing form of a verb it's very useful for adding additional information about a subject of verb to make resumed if you first need the past participle new stem but with um you can use legends if to describe how or why something happens for example amiibos only don't do favors oh nevada courage means by brushing my teeth twice a day i prevent cavities and jay emilio de mora say on particle treasure means i improved my french by practicing everyday finally if the date on force on the spa means he relaxes by doing sports you can also use logic to describe two simultaneous actions for example Jaden Arizona homo means I ate dinner while reading a novel notice that lism is preceded by oh this is how you know that the action is simultaneous for example vivian Oceanus often the cinema means I saw a former friend while leaving the movie theater let's look at the difference when we all meet on Vivian ocean and miss often do cinema means I saw a former friend leaving the movie theater here it's implied that it was the former friend leaving the movie theater not you the second example is technically not legend if because it modifies the noun law cinema and not the verb but it can still be useful just like in English make sure the present participle matches the subject take for example Sasha Lee risk in commissions or for me meaning knowing the dangers a committee will be formed this is incorrect because the committee can't know the dangers when it hasn't even been made yet instead you'd say session risk the president for mean Commission meaning knowing the dangers the president formed a committee this is much better also there are only three irregular present participles two of them you heard in this listen avoir a young and Savoie session the last one is at Eton okay I hope that answered your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comment below and I try to answer them I've gone to see you hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher while I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how do you say I'm excited to do something by now you are probably starting to speak French pretty well but sometimes we you don't know a word you take an English word and French if I eat now usually this is a really good idea and it shows that you have a good understanding of the language but there are times when this will not work saying you're excited for something is a great example of why you should be careful let's say you're wandering around Paris and you become completely lost you need directions so you go up to someone on the streets and say I am lost just repel do this is perfectly correct you've taken the past participle of the verb and use it as an adjective now imagine you and that person become friends and he or she invites you to a party you think in your head I am excited a new French if I ate saying this is excitation well Exeter is definitely an example of a time where you should not French fi a word it means to turn on so if you say just physic city or samox it you are telling the person you are horny this could definitely be embarrassing for you using HCT is a common mistake for English speakers if you want to say you're excited for something use a while I do this literally means to have haste to a better translation would be I cut wait another way to express that you can't wait for something is at campus no melody the virtual caches meaning literally to be impatient at the idea of doing something but ever add is still more commonly used so instead of saying just is exited it over or it turns me on to see you again say she at the top of wha meaning I look forward to seeing you again or if you're excited to see the city of nice say gelatinous maybe you have a French pen pal and you are finally going to meet him or her in person say gee advert reconnaissance I can't wait to meet you now remember don't be discouraged or embarrassed keep playing around with French sometimes you won't know a word so give it your best guess and even if you make a mistake like this one french people will probably find it funny and that's it for this lesson if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them adèle to see you soon hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher when I am so you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is when should I use local Ocala and you Kayla now as you might remember for previous lesson we use Q key and dome to combine two sentences we can also use local Ocala and decal to also combine sentences let's have a look at when we should use them laquelle can mean which we can use it to ask a question when the object is known for example can leave of Atilla meaning what book does he want can become local vigil meaning which one does he want busmalis it means pass me the plates lequel means which one notice anything different unlike which in English Luke L has to agree with the gender and noun so we also have Luke L like L like L and likkle Luo la la are the definite articles and you add L e to the end to make it feminine and s to make it plural Luke L like L nickel and nickel if we can also use locale to combine a sentence with a preposition then why can't we just use qu achey well because of the position in spoken English we often end sentences with a preposition for example it's the tool I repaired the wall with but you want to avoid this in French if you would translate the previous sentence directly it will be salute cqj repair a Lumiere avec this is understandable but not correct solution Viki lukayla je parle mu or is the tool with which I repaired the wall sounds much better let's look at some more examples first rucolino local village means the nut book in which I write not hopeless L alpha value means the company for which she works finally limited only quelle Bigfoot figure some flu means the images in which big food appears are blurry but if the preposition is a order in this cases you can't use Raquel you have to use Oh quelle or Duke Ella it sounds more natural and Oh Kel and Raquel must agree in gender and number as well okay Alec Ella okay Ella Oh Kayla do Kayla dual akela decal decal an example is Lily vocal Ravi reference meaning the books to which I am referring Liu megazor education Avaya meaning the store near which I work lastly let's talk about how we use decal in this case and not do this is because it's a prepositional phrase so remember for phrases like pedo equity do and office do use do Keller not do okay I hope I helped clear things up for you if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them adios see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher while I answer you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is when should I use moo-coo and when should I use Salma to mean only in English we only have one word for only but in French we have two they mean the same thing but they are used in different ways in general I would say that nuku is more commonly used but both are fine if you use them correctly let's take a look Salma is easier for English speakers because it's very similar to the English word only we can use it before a number Ilya cumulus yet thermal do there are how many plates only two or we can use it in a sentence Rafael Montes perform a music I do only sports for fun but where you put Salman changes the meaning of the sentence this sentence means the only activity you do when you want to have fun eSports but what if you want to say the only reason you play sports is to have fun then you say je fais pas seulement pour my music meaning I do sports only for fun it's a subtle difference but it's important now nu Q can be used almost interchangeably in these sentences but nuku is not an adverb but a construction you put know before the verb and q before the thing you want to modify with only let's use the same sentence I do only sports for furn which is a genifique is perform mu Z here ku comes right before dispo let's say I do sports only for fun this will be genophage spa kaboom mu Z Q comes before pom mu Z to mean only for fun in spoken French people often drop in negative constructions and Nuku is no different so you might hear someone say L Heskett Roger meaning there are only three days left or maybe even Elia communi set kudu this means they are how many plates only two and that's it do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them aDNA - see you soon hi everybody can is here welcome to ask a teacher while I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is when should I use C telmo and tom we might translate all of these words as so or so much they all intensify words so instead of something being just good it's so good or instead of someone just working someone can work so much however we can't use them interchangeably so let's take a look at each one first see you might remember that C can be used to respond negatively to a negative question but C can also be used to emphasize and I ejected or adverb for example ELISA Danton meaning he is so nice here C modifies the adjective Jean sees now let's use it with an adverb I'll cook save it this means she runs so fast you can also use the mo in either of these sentences a little more subtle meaning he is so nice and el corte mojit meaning she runs so fast ok so when should you use telmo and not C or vice versa first you should see and not anymore when making comparisons so you could say a new capacity Quechua meaning she does not run as fast as you but you cannot say a new capital move it get wa that will be incorrect also telmo is not as formal as see here's when you shouldn't you see but Telmo instead telmo can be used to mean so much or so many it can modify nouns whereas see cannot so you could say set et she returned will deliver meaning this summer I read so many books notice how we added do additionally Telmo can be an adverb all by itself for example gentlemen success I like that play so much you couldn't say gem see success because there is no adverb to modify alright now let's talk about Tom liked Elmo doe means so much or so many it's used to emphasize quantity for example to Pattaya meaning you can laugh so much or maybe you want to say there are so many people that will be Elliott on the moon again notice that is also used when tone is before a noun tom is probably more common than Telmo so as a rule of thumb use don't to talk about quantity telmo as an adverb and see if you want to make a comparison or to intensify an adverb or adjective before we end this listen here are two expressions with tone that French people use all the time their first is Tom please meaning too bad and Tom you means all the better and that's it if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I want to see you hi everybody candies here welcome to ask a teacher but I am so you must come on French questions the question for this lesson is how do you compare nouns verbs and adjectives with each of these expressions you will have to change them slightly depending on whether you are comparing nouns verbs or adjectives first let's talk about Prisco meaning more than remember to pronounce the S because we are talking about a greater quantity if you are talking about nouns add do for example you see please damocat wha meaning I have more friends than you notice that the dough doesn't become day even though a me is plural if the agrees with the verb the meaning changes tune apprec-- meaning no longer for example only Prima me meaning we are no longer friends in spoken French people often drop the nerve in negative contractions so remember if you want to talk about quantity you have to use do for adjectives and adverbs we put the adjective or adverb between pre and curve for example le pregunta moi this means he is taller than me ilkook privity MA meaning he runs faster than me simple right lastly for verbs we put plus Q after the verb for example L pal priska ma meaning he talks more than me now watch o meaning less than follows the same pattern for example she more than acute WA anemia I have fewer friends than you do not make do agree with the noun for objectives and adverbs an example is Ellen Morgan kumoi meaning he is shorter than me or Kumar Kumar meaning he runs slower than me for verbs an example is ill pal mu kumoi meaning he talks less than I do Osito meaning as much as is slightly different it follows the same pattern for adjectives and adverbs for example Lily to see Gong kumoi means he is as tall as I am ill cool civet kuma means he runs as fast as me but for verbs and nouns you should actually use otaku the placement of otaku is exactly the same is just a different word so let's take a look she uttered an acute hua means I have as many friends as you do notice that doesn't change and now for verbs the example is ill pal o Tonkawa meaning he speaks as much as I do so to sum up pronounce the S in pris never make the agree with your noun and use otaku instead of Aussie too when you're talking about nouns and verbs and that's it do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them as also see you soon hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what our son indispensable phrases and grammar structures for French learners in this lesson we're going to go over some phrases that will help you organize your thoughts we're going to try to use phrases that don't need to be conjugated so that you can use them even with unfamiliar verbs first is secure uzuki see this is a great construction to really hammer home your point you're putting the result first and then the reason for example say Master PC Saruman due respect which means what really shocked me was the lack of respect another form of this is Lou fetcher stop this means the fact that it's an example is blue fetch if survey Sam Ashoke meaning the fact that he knew that shocked me you already know the word to to mean for but it can also mean in order to just add an infinitive after poor for an easy way to say in order to for example wanna tell you mushy pasta Nina we went to the market in order to buy bread here are some ways to show causation graça always undo and echoes do glossa means thanks to an example is Grasso podcast repeat polyphen say meaning thanks to podcasts I can speak French graça shows appreciation always will do means because of its natural compared to casa an example is arisen the circumstance sure esta see meaning because of the circumstances I'm staying here Echo's do has a negative connotation across the real did yo ho do blame his eczema means because of him I had to redo my exams on fat is often used at the beginning of sentences it means in fact or actually notice that you pronounce the T breath is another common sentence starter it means in short or long story short mm means anyways though you'll hear it all the time at the end of sentences and the beginning an example is Miss Roselli a victory column meaning but I went with him anyways or we make mmm meaning yes but still the next phrase should only be used in conversation but it can be very useful it's us Chris Reda meaning do you get what I mean French people use this all the time to make sure that another person is following what they are saying for French learners it's a great way to make sure what you've said actually makes sense and that's it try using these phrases they will help you sound more fluent and there will also help organize your thoughts do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them adjunctive see you soon hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer some of your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how can you tell if a noun is masculine or feminine in French every noun as a gender that goes for plural nouns too like apples and oranges other Romance languages have masculine and feminine nouns too it's a trait that comes from Latin and the gender depends on the origin of the older Latin word English doesn't have masculine or feminine nouns so the easiest way to tell the gender of a french noun it's by looking at the last letter of the noun the general rule is that if a noun ends with an e it's feminine for example Lillet meaning the letter la vest meaning the jacket and love has meaning the strawberry noun that ends with any other letter are generally masculine like Lucas on the Crescent limit which means the guy Ola visual meaning to Jo the only thing is there are lots of exceptions for example love homage meaning cheese is masculine even throw its ends with an E another example is Vlad meaning voice this word is feminine even throw it doesn't end with an e so it's Lavoie because there are so many exceptions to the general pattern it's best to learn nouns and the articles together that's Lou for masculine nouns and La Mina for feminine nouns Louella I liked the article in English in are similar to although for feminine nouns and any other letters for masculine nouns are the most common ways to determine the gender of a noun in French a few other letter patterns sometimes apply some masculine endings are as like lu homage or cheese no like Lu DoCoMo or document Oh like an wazoo or bird and wha like Lumia wha or the mirror if you see there's letter patterns when you study in French it's safe to assume those knowns are masculine some feminine patterns are some ocean like la nación meaning the nation they like Laliberte or Liberty and earth like lash hunters or the singer just like with the masculine letter patterns I just mentioned you can assume that words ending with this letter patterns are feminine it's important to remember what gender a noun is because sometimes it influences other parts of the sentence in French for example adjectives change their spelling according to the gender of the noun they modify it looks a bit like this the blue notebook which is Mascarene is locally blue the blue chair which is feminine is lashes blue with an extra e and that's it I hope that answers your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them Adnan - hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer some of your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are false friends and what are the most common ones there are lots of words that look similar in English and French but they don't always mean the same thing it's pretty fitting that they're called false friends because they can be deceptive here are some of the most common ones so you can avoid any miscommunication the next time you speak French at all in French means to wait for example if you're waiting for your friend you would say Jetta Mon amis to attend is assist e for example I'm going to attend the show would be through the SST and spectacular make sure not to confuse SST with the verb to assist that verb is secure meaning to help someone another commonly confused verb is passage Pasi doesn't mean to pass by which would be quasi to cross paths a means to sit for something or to spend time for example pasión eczema means to sit through an exam not to pass an exam another common phrase is come over to positive accounts meaning how are you going to spend your vacation if your response geonji the person if I come from Italy it has nothing to do with being envious of Italy of what we do means to want something are to feel like doing something so this sentence means I want to spend my vacation in Italy there are also plenty of nouns that are false friends to Villa for example is not Villa its city also be careful with the world in Libra fish which means a bookstore don't expect to borrow things for free another example is if someone stops you on the street and asks you for dilemma nay they are asking for spare change but if you ask for change or money it means you want your change in coins rather than being in more serious situations if you fall and get hurt don't say that's your RA because people will become very concerned about your emotional state instead say disability which means I'm hurt in the physical sense it had nothing to do with church blessings okay I hope that clears things up if you have any more questions please leave them in the comment below and I try to answer them I do too you if your friend is getting ready to go you might ask to tava which means you're living or are you on your way out you can also use reflexive pronounce with emotions to make them stronger for example if you made your mother hungry you would say Elsie fashi as in she became angry using the reflexive pronoun is stronger than a little fishy as in she was angry with just sounds like factual information not that with reflexive pronouns you conjugate the verb according to the subject that's why she as an extra e in this case if it were your father or your uncle who were angry you will write easy fascist so that's it I hope that answers the question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them aDNA - hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher where I'll answer some of your most common French questions the question for this lesson is when do you use the direct object pronouns lu la and lay versus the indirect object pronouns GUI and laughs sometimes you want to shorten a sentence with a pronoun rather than use the same noun again this is similar to how we use it in English in place of nouns we have already said such as did you see that movie yesterday yes I saw it in French pronouns come right before a verb to simplify a sentence for example if your friend asks you to answer como do you like this novel instead of we dream so homo yes I like this novel you might say with LEM yes I like it in this case you put the pronoun after the subject drew and before the verb Emmy but how do you know which pronoun to use Lula and Leigh are used with nouns that are directly attached to the verb that means you don't need the preposition up for example ma meaning to like is one of those verbs for ma we use the La Poste half in the singular because ma begins with a vowel in this case Shalem in the plural we would use lay so if you were referring to several novels you'd say Judaism here's another example lopata - vert real FM the door is open I'm closing it la here refers to Laporte the door which is feminine he is one in the masculine someone says Luda commercial a table the document is on the table you respond janila truth / I can't find it or I don't find it loo before 12 refers to the do kemo doula on the other hand are usually only for people not things verbs that use Li and ler use the preposition ah the most common example is probably polish for example Jew pulusu Vanessa I speak often with my sister becomes repulsive oh here we which would be similar to the English with her refers to masa which would be my sister if you're talking about more than one person you would use love I am talking to my brothers would be super lame affair with the pronoun it will become guru pala meaning I am talking to them in the common form you put the pronoun after the verb with a hyphen that applies to both forms of pronounce so tell them the truth would be delay level pitch another example in the common form is the door is open closets lopata to that family did you get it not so bad right if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't want to get cheat sheets audio books lessons apps and much more every month for free just click the link in the description to get your free language gifts of the month hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I'll answer some of your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what is the participation and how do you use it the participation is a tone composing or a composite tense that means it's made up of two parts earth meaning to be however we need to have followed by a verb in the past participle in French there are three main tone composition lupus I compose a which describes the recent past the prisca parfait or past perfect which is used to talk about an action that occurred before another action and the pre perfect percent area which is very formal it can mostly be found in literature or historical books let's focus on the past composite which is used to describe the recent past and he's the most commonly used how to add the three to use it you need the present at or ever plus the participation of past principal of the verb for example I have read a book would be Julie Oliver the auxiliary verb in this case avoir must be conjugated with the subject another example would be use a visceral more modern day which means we have seen that movie last month with AD you also need to conjugate it according to the subject but it's a little more tricky than that if the subject is feminine approval you need to add s or s for example she has been to the swimming pool is a little a la piscine if you're referring to a group of girls it would be newsome's la la piscine but when do we need a tour Allah if a verb does not have any grammatical object you have to use it this is usually used for verbs describing movement for example alley meaning to go veneer to come or party to leave avoir is used to describe an action and require an object for example you would use our with the verbs Maji to eat blah to drink avoir to read because you eat drink and read something for example general if I have read a book or the Murshid a glass I have eaten ice cream how was it it's a bit tricky isn't it but with some practice you'll definitely get better do you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them idiotic hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French question the question for this lesson is for units of time like rue and oh when are the masculine and where are the feminine you've probably seen both masculine and feminine forms of de rue and Johnny and year oh and Annie so how do you know which gender to use well the general rule is that the masculine forms are for counting and the feminine forms are for emphasizing the duration of an action let's go through some examples so you can learn how to use the masculine and feminine forms for units of time correctly let's start with years rip acid is not a genie I spent 10 years in the u.s. in this sentence we are simply counting the number of years so we used the masculine of four years let's do another example if we say gee Pasadena videos the new citizeness meaning I have spent 10 wonderful years in the US we're using the adjectives wonderful and putting emphasis on the duration of time spent therefore we use any years in the feminine form let's practice some more with days judo judo poopoo I have two days off again here we simply counting the number of days off so we use jus the masculine form of day if we say J do Johnny do a poo also meaning I have two days off then we are F a sizing the time off implying that we have time to do a lot of things there are some cases when it doesn't matter which gender you use that's when you're talking about last year or next year both linear and linear work for last year and the same with next year using potion from a screen or portion for Femina okay I hope that clears things up you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't oh hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what is sir and how do you use it sir is a pronoun and the informal word for Zula which means eat or that let's practice some expressions so you can learn how to use sac correctly the expression that it literally means does it say something to you it's used to ask does that sound good to you for example Saturday deliver a film that's going to see a film sound good to you in response you can say cinema de Palermo which means I don't really feel like doing that if it does sound good then you say something like we oh yes you yes or of course respectively on the other hand some radical cashews literally this say something to me usually means that rings a bell the opposite will be Santa Madonna literally meaning this doesn't say anything to me or that doesn't ring a bell another common expression is Salo it means something like how about that and it can be used in both positive and negative ways for example a friend tells you he's moving to Senegal you might respond Salo sister pear how about that that's awesome here's another scenario your friend tells you he has tons of work to do then you see him at the beach you can say salut how about that with a negative connotation you might also hear sisa that means that's it in the sense of yoga rates or Uyghur it's depending on who you're talking about say yeah also means that's it though it's more along the lines of as in Sahaj yogini that's it finally I'm done you can also add sir before say to add emphasis for example Sybil means it's beautiful but if someone says Sasebo then they really really minutes and that's it for this lesson I hope I answered your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them a gentle hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher but I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what is loomin francophone in a nutshell lumen fuckathon is the French word or all the parts of the world where French of some form of French is spoken that's everything from other french-speaking countries in Europe like Switzerland Belgium and Luxembourg to French West Africa parts of South East Asia the French Caribbean past of North and South America as well as Quebec and some other provinces in Canada the main reason why French is so widely spoken across the globe is because of colonial history between the 17th and early 20th centuries France and other European countries established colonies around the world that doesn't mean that French sounds the same everywhere every place as its own dilates for example Haitian Creole is a language that's derived from French but mixed with other languages in West Africa French pronunciation as a local accent West African vocabulary rhythms and tonalities have merged with European French and France a popular Africa or FPA but the sound of French is different in every French African country there are also plenty of expressions we used in other francophone countries that don't exist in France for example say Fedora which literally means it's been two days but in burkina faso normally means it's been a long time since I've seen you just like language is deeply intertwined with culture dou lumen francophone also goes a lot deeper than just a shared language a lot of travel and cultural exchanges after and among women francophone a fun fact is that in an international competition like the World Cup countries in Lemont honkophone typically root for each other as long as they're not playing against each other it's a different kind of camaraderie that's really only found in Lemont conquer fun that's it for now did I answer your question if you have more questions please leave them in the comments and I try to answer them idiotic hi everybody Candice here welcome

settings so it's good to know the standard phrases so you can communicate in both types of situations in this lesson we will go over some basic business expressions that you can use in French gym excuse Dorota which means I am sorry for being late it's a very useful phrase you can use this for whatever reason you can manage to be on time for meeting or just come in late to the office you can also say dizzily Paulo Jota which means the same thing but it's a little more casual if you're asked to write a report and want to know when it's due you can ask canto Alejandro hopper which literally means when should I give the rip if you're a little busy at work and want to let your co-workers know you can use this phrase restaurant and organism or devil hunt huddle means to be in the middle of something so the example resident hunter game museum rendezvous means I'm in the middle of organizing a meeting so no point is another great idiom to use in business it literally means realize or be aware let's go over how to use it for example if your team has a lot of work to do but you will be out of town the next week you can say how difficult Kujo series of accounts lessman potion which means take into consideration that I'm on vacation next week if your boss needs something urgently and you have just finished your work you can use the phrase vineyard which literally means to come from it's also an expression that means just now if you want to say I just finished my project you can say Randolph in yamaraja when everything is finished you can use the phrase sit down please do the collabo have a group which means it's a pleasure doing business with you you can also use ravaghi which means work instead of collaborate with trevally the phrase would be Satan please do de travailler avec vous which means it's a pleasure working with you and that's it I hope these phrases can come in handy for you if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments and I

with your significant other in this context it means something closer to I worship him or her in this case you should say real em instead ok that's it I hope I answered your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them a lot hi everybody can this here welcome to ask a teacher while I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are the different ways you can make a negative sentence in French unlike English negative sentences in French have two parts the most basic negative sentences use new EMPA and put the verb in between them for example I'm going is Ravi so I'm not going is Jahnavi ba you can make more complex negative sentences by using the with different negative words let's go over some examples so you can learn how to make negative sentences in French correctly please on it's unusually means more but together with know the phrase becomes no more for example Geneva pre means I'm not going anymore there are awesome negative words in French that can be used on their own or with no for example let's look at this short conversation your friend asks you to feed your skin where do you go skiing in the winter you can respond no Geneva Jame no I never go hear the word Jame meaning never is used with without know your response would be no Jame no never another negative word yeah which means nothing can be used by itself or with no like in this example your friend asks kiss catch a fish Audrey monena what are you doing today if you're responding with no your answer would be Jennifer you're Audrey I'm not doing anything today without know it will be just real nothing one of the most common combinations is the banker uncle means again but in Geneva panca it becomes I'm not going yet you can also use Parker on its own to say not yet for example triplets are you ready Parker not yet another good expression is Patti - that means not at all for example someone asks you it is of two years wha did you go out last night you can respond no Peduto no not at all remember French only uses two negative particles in a sentence if you use free the sentence becomes something like the double negative in English for example if you say univita Jame mini-me I don't never go then that means that you do go sometimes but it sounds unnatural okay I hope that makes more sense now if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them aDNA - hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher where I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how can I use french slang there are a lot of words you hear in French that you almost never see written in fact there are many expressions that are unique to spoken French take quoi at the end of a sentence for example quoi in spoken French doesn't just mean what when used at the end of a sentence it's a filler word that adds emphasis if you're talking about something with your friend and she says a cinema like wow she isn't asking a question in English it would sound something like this is quite normal she's emphasizing how average or usual the situation is a very popular slang word among young people is Jean it can be translated to the filler world like in English for example cities rock table would be it was like amazing another common word that's used differently in spoken slang is circuses which means to go separate ways or to split up say you had lunch with some friends and you have another appointment to go to you might say Oh circus to signal the end of the get-together the closest equivalent would be let's get out of here however be careful when you use it because it can come off as a little rude on a similar note just wha means get lost which can be mean or playful so be careful with this one too let's look at some words you're usually only used in conversation bulu is literal a job bulu comes from the French verb gulati's which means to work with secrecy its nuance is more of what I do to get by rather than what I do for a living which would be low travail and pretty blue or sometimes just a blue is a part-time or a job Abuja is the casual world for a book pooja comes from the Dutch book which also means pooch and as a similar pronunciation France as a strong academic culture and informal discussions over books upon often so many people use bucho in more casual settings instead of live which is the formal way to say book the word poofy means to scarf down food when you're really hungry and not paying attention to your manners it's not an insert though everyone understands the need to buffet sometimes especially after a long hard day of work however because of friends vibrant culinary culture buffet isn't a word you'll come across in polite circles oof is an interjection you're here often it means you're relieved after you've done or gone through something crazy you can use it as an adjective to like see oof when you're talking about a crazy situation it must closely translates to that's sick or simply that's crazy you can even describe a person as oof which means someone who's lost is mind oof actually comes from the law which is a pattern of slang in French we'll talk about that more in another lesson here are a couple more common slang words Chiefy means to dig something or to like something dank means crazy either in a good way or a bad way another one is shown a vulgar slang word which means really annoying how was it go ahead and try them out at your own race of course if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I didn't oh hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher but I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are some examples of the slang labellum if you talk to our French friend about common slang words they're probably ask you if you've heard of Bello Bello is a variation of Nova which means the rivers if you reverse the syllabus of flow there you get Villa Nova --velum --velum --velum is kind of like Pig Latin if you've ever heard of that a key difference is that people really speak in Pig Latin whereas French people use velone all the time but only certain words turn into vellum for example one of the most common French interjections roof comes from vellum it's actually full Rivest foo woof who is an adjective that means crazy or mad earth means the same thing except that you can use it on its own say someone asks you how your day was and you've just had the craziest day we've all had those you might just respond oof pretty useful right another common word in vellum is math that comes from fam which means woman math dough is more casual if a man says mammoths that means my woman oh my girlfriend if he says my fam that means my wife Hulu is another good one which comes from Lou or heavy Hulu is mostly used to describe a person who's a drag or someone that you don't want to be around some other very long words pretty much keep their meaning Shami comes from Mission or mean but in Velo it actually means awesome or amazing Xabi is bizarre a weird ripu is polish or rotten Shalu is lush or shady and weird it can get a bit hard to follow but it's pretty fun right to make things even more confusing there's another variation of a law it's who --velum --velum words reversed again this is only a burns to certain words though tech fleet which is slang for policemen fleet in Velo they came gif however jeff was a slang word originally only used by tags however it became a usual slang term so they change keV into so keV went true Hoover along and became which sounds like a certain word in English I guess it reflects how some young people feel about Lee flick breaking up their parties and that's it in another lesson we'll talk about curse words and their place in French culture if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments eventos wanna speak real French from your first lesson sign up for your free lifetime account at French pod 101.com hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher but I answer your most common French questions the question for this listen is are the French weary as snobby as the same this is a common stereotype especially in the US but it's actually more complex than it seems a lot of Americans and other tourists think the French are stuck up because it seems like their refuse to make small talk especially in a foreign language actually silence is socially acceptable in French culture and some other European countries especially among strangers in American culture it's common for strangers to make small talk but in France it's a little less common especially in foreign languages but why one reason is that being educated is really important in French culture and people are worried about making grammatical mistakes another reason is that many people remain close to a famous idiom like a phones which means the old friends it is commonly used in conversation and it's core part of the educational beliefs in France French people are traditionally not used to talking to strangers and like to keep a distance it's a part of the culture Smalltalk can be seen as an intrusion into someone's private life a final reason may be that French people are just very busy with the life and prefer listening to music or using their cell phones than talking to strangers although this may be the same in many other places it is particularly prevalent in France French people may also seem stuck up because of the social faux pas that froyos make when they visit friends he has some insider tips for French learners who may visit friends in the many tourists who visit France want to see famous sights however some may have not done research already taken in the significance of these historical places when a French person sees tourists traveling in big groups who stopped at the site for 10 minutes take a few pictures and then live they feel as if the tourists are not really appreciating the culture our advice is to do some research on the places you want to visit before you go that way you can show your respect not only to French people but to the kurtter as well here's another thing to be careful of if you have been studying French guksu was a famous expression used to call waiters in French it literally means boy which is actually quite rude in the u.s. there is still the impression that French speakers use the word gasm if you use this world the waiter might be really offended and not give you great customer service nowadays French speakers simply get the attention of the staff with a schism wah excuse me or simply s'il vous plait meaning please so please use that instead when you are at the restaurant in France so just because they're French don't talk as much as foreigners expect them to that doesn't mean they're rude hasta cap that's it for this lesson if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them idato hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher while I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are the different ways you can make a negative sentence in French unlike English negative sentences in French have two parts the most negative sentences use new EMPA and put the verb in between them for example I'm going is Ravi so I'm not going is Genoveva you can make more complex negative sentences by using with different negative words let's go over some examples so you can learn how to make negative sentences in French correctly please on it's unusually means more but together with know the phrase becomes no more for example Geneva pre means I'm not going anymore there are also negative words in French that can be used on the on or with no for example let's look at this short conversation your friend asks you to feed you skinny where do you go skiing in the winter you can respond no Geneva Jame no I never go hear the word Jame meaning never is used with without know your response would be no Jame no never another negative word yeah which means nothing can be used by itself or with no like in this example your friend asks kiss kiss refuge Audrey anemia what are you doing today if you're responding with no your answer would be Jennifer you Audrey I'm not doing anything today without know it will be just real nothing one of the most common combinations is no Punk Oh uncle means again but in Geneva panca it becomes I'm not going yet you can also use power uncle on its own to say not yet for example triplets are you ready polka not yet another good expression is Patti - that means not at all for example someone asks you it is of two years wha did you go out last night you can respond no budget oh no not at all remember French only uses two negative particles in a sentence if you use free the sentence becomes something like the double negative in English for example if you say univita Jame mini-me I don't never go then that means that you do go sometimes but it sounds unnatural okay I hope that makes more sense now if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I know hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I am so your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are some popular French idioms in English we have our fair share of idioms like it's raining cats and dogs or even what's up they might know make much sense literary but they are commonly used in everyday conversation French of course has them too and he has some examples pelleted means to sulk but it's literal translation is actually to do the head it's used when someone isn't happy about something and in a bad mood for example an affiliated to Clara knee she's soaked all day we also have coup de foudre which literally means a strike of lightning but as an idiom it means love at first sight pretty fitting actually Sahaj is one you'll come across every day mushy means to walk but Sahaj means that's works English speakers might recognize this following one infinite intrusion literally it's a dog whether it means as you might have guessed it's terrible weather here's a funny one a TV commercial visual a super it literally means to arrive like a hair in the soup this is about entering a situation at the worst possible moment it can also mean arriving suddenly by chance another idiom that uses food is meta song hunter sell literally to put one screen of salt it's an idiom that means to give an unnecessary opinion denisa young Gousha literally means to give one stone to the cat but it actually means to give up for example if someone asks you to get something and you have no idea what the answer is another one that doesn't make much sense but you're often here is fair like Haws matinee which literally means to do a fat morning but people use it to say they slept in saccade lizard latet which means it's ridiculously expensive but literary means it costs the eyes out of the head there you go try them out if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't know hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher well I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how do you know when to use the basic compose a la pasión there are two commonly used past tenses in French Lupus I compose e the past perfect and lop off a DM perfect loop se compose a is made up of an ox Larry verb either add meaning to be or avoir to have plus the main verb in the participation or past participle from lapa Phaedrus use the main verb in the imperfect form let's do some examples so you can learn how to use the basic impose a and lamb perfectly when telling a story in the past Lopez second Posey is used for the sequence of events these are specific events that happens at a certain time like the motion bomb meaning I ate an apple lapa fee is used for describing context or circumstances that happened within that timeframe for example remotion firma i was eating an apple you'll often use lamb puffy and the PASOK opposite together in the same sentence lapa Fela straits the context and Lopez I compose a is the disruption of an action for example this sentence uses both remote in Perm conclude sharply meaning I was eating an apple when Louie called remotion poem sets the scene I was eating an apple Co means when that's the interruption the interruption is a time specific event so we use LA passe compose a Luigi a plea meaning Loic coat that's it for this lesson I hope I helped clear things up if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them adult oh hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher while I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is how do you use adjectives as nouns in French we can omit the known and use the adjectives as the noun does that sound confusing let's do some examples let's say you're at a furniture store and you want to buy a chair if you're looking at a bunch of different colored chairs we can use lashes blue to refer to the blue chair however in this case with already mentioned the chairs and their colors so we can just say 'la blue which means the blue one by using an article with an adjective you can make it a noun in this case we used LA because lashes the chair is feminine then we added the feminine adjective blue to make lab Lu to stand for the blue chair likewise if you're discussing different colored hats you'll use the masculine noun chapeau that means we have to change la to the masculine article Lu and change blue to blur to match then if you would like to buy the blue hat you would say blue blue silver play the blue one please superlatives can also become nouns in French apart from the direct translation of the best which is Lumia or Lamia you can use any adjective plus an article plus either please for most or more for lists to make a superlative sentence please on its own means more but with an article it means most take lubricant for example Gras means big so Lu Prudhoe means the big one in general but if you said Luke home that means the biggest one similarly to please more means less on its own but least with an article lemmas it for example literally means the least first one or more naturally the slowest it's important to note that because we used la in this sentence we know that we're talking about a feminine noun if we were talking about a masculine noun the sentence will be limited and mean the same thing and that's it was I able to answer your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them Adamo hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is four units of time like rule and oh when are they Muscatine and where are they feminine you've probably seen both masculine and feminine forms of de rue and journey and year oh and Annie so how do you know which gender to use well the general rule is that the masculine forms are ting and the feminine forms are for emphasizing the duration of an action let's go through some examples so you can learn how to use the masculine and feminine forms for units of time correctly let's start with years rip acid is not a genie I spent 10 years in the u.s. in this sentence we are simply counting the number of years so we used the masculine on four years let's do another example if we say she passes Gmail videos the new citizeness meaning I have spent 10 wonderful years in the u.s. we're using the adjectives wonderful and putting emphasis on the duration of time spent therefore we use any years in the feminine form let's practice some more with days judo judo poopoo I have two days off again here we simply counting the number of days off so we use jus the masculine form of day if we say Jade Aruna do a poo also meaning I have two days off then we are f a sizing the time of implying that we have time to do a lot of things there are some cases when it doesn't matter which gender you use that's when you're talking about last year or next year both linear and linear work for last year and the same with next year using potion from a screen or potion for femmine okay I hope that clears things up if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I listen hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher well I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what is sir and how do you use it sir is a pronoun and the informal word for Zula which means eat or that let's practice some expressions so you can learn how to use sac correctly the expression that it literally means does it say something to you it's used to ask does that sound good to you for example Saturday deliver a film that's going to see a film sound good to you in response you can say cinema de Palermo which means I don't really feel like doing that if it does sound good then you say something like we oh yes you yes or of course respectively on the other hand some radical cashews literally this say something to me usually means that rings a bell the opposite will be Santa material literally meaning this doesn't say anything to me or that doesn't ring a bell another common expression is Salo it means something like how about that and it can be used in both positive and negative ways for example a friend tells you he's moving to synagogue you might respond Salo sister pear how about that that's awesome here's another scenario your friend tells you he has tons of work to do then you see him at the beach you can say salut how about that with a negative connotation you might also hear sisa that means that's it in the sense of yoga rates or Uyghur it's depending on who you're talking about say yeah also means that's it though it's more along the lines of finally as in sahaja fini that's it finally I'm dong you can also add sir before say to add emphasis for example Sybil means it's beautiful but if someone says Sasebo then they really very minutes and that's it for this lesson I hope I answered your question if you have any more questions please leave them in the comments below and I try to answer them I don't want to get cheat sheets audio books lessons apps and much more every month for free just click the link in the description to get your free language gifts of the month hi everybody Candice here welcome to ask a teacher where answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are the main differences between written and spoken French written French and spoken French can sink completely different a lot of grammar is relaxed in spoken French so sometimes you might have trouble recognizing a phrase even if you already know it for instance abbreviations are extremely common in spoken French it goes beyond dropping the Jew in front of warriors such as J which is I have or Lenny which is the year among the most common spoken abbreviation is teh forgery which means you are so instead of Treasury for your cute you here titties similarly Chua you have is often shortened to da another common omission is the new in negative sentences in writing the correct way to say I have no money is Jenny padartha in casual spoken French you can just say ship Adaro here's another example soon epigraph means no problem or it's not a big deal spoken we usually say sepegal when people talk quickly it can even sound like sipping Java so you might not even here the see one more example is juniper meaning I can't can become your Papa but we can make it shorter and more casual by dropping the Papa some grammatical structures are more common in spoken French - for instance questions are usually shorter and more direct instead of saying the fool Kiska traffic for what did you do you probably here tafiq WA which literally translates to you did what another common spoken sentence structure is adding a pronoun at the beginning for emphasis for example if you want to emphasize your personal opinion you could say ma Japan's literally that means me I think in English it's something like has for me here's another example if you're talking about your family's plans for the weekend you can add new for emphasis no news alumina plush us or us for earth we're going to the beach there we go I hope that clears things up in another lesson we'll go over a vellum which is a form of French spoken slang if you have other questions please leave them in the comments and I try to offer them example hi everybody Candace here welcome to ask a teacher where I'll answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what are the types of questions in French and how do I make them there are three different question forms in French colonial standard and formal the colloquial form is the simplest you take a statement like Toronto chitwa or you're going back home and simply raise your tone at the end of the sentence to make it a question don't rush it wah you're going back home because it's colloquial it's mostly used in casual conversational sittings or between people who have a friendly relationship if you saw it written it might be part of a script or dialogue the standard oral and written question form uses esker putting a secure at the beginning of a sentence indicates that it's a question for the previous example you'd say it's a Gujarati oh where are you going back home you can use this tone that question structure in any sitting formal or casual Brighton ah spoken a variation of s is care secured with an abbreviated - in front it's basically the English what at the beginning of a sentence for example Kiska Mafalda ma means what are we doing tomorrow for other types of questions you can replace with pourquoi come o for example contest coach izzo when are you coming pourquoi is actually twister why is he sad or who escalated a where did she study lastly there's the formal question form this is appropriate in very formal settings and in literary writing but will be pretty reared in casual settings in this form you switch the verb and the pronoun around in this register you probably wouldn't be using to so in the previous example are you going back home it will be a hot review shavoo with the polite vous address another example is capital for what does he do or ablution e which is a polite way to ask have you finished in the Eska form you would say key skill fair and ask you solution the casual way to say what does he do would be elf equal and for have you finished it will be reservation but remember a secured is acceptable in most formal situations and the colloquial form is what you will be using in most casual situations so you shouldn't need to use the formal question for much okay that's it I hope that clarifies some things if you have other questions please leave them in the comments and I try to answer them a bientot hi everybody can this year welcome to ask a teacher when I answer your most common French questions the question for this lesson is what does seek mean and how do you use it see two main meanings the first meaning is if and the second one is yes but only to negative questions let's go over if first if you want to say if you come to the party Madeleine will come to you use cc2 Jean effete Madalena services a common expression using C is CityVille meaning if you want for example sit river on your ensemble if you want we'll go there together not that if you use C with ill or in plural you abbreviate it to seal and seal to avoid repeating the same letter so with ill the expression is silver repeat reasoning if he wants I can cook the other meaning of C is a little trickier but I'm sure you'll get it in no time you know questions that have negative rising like won't you be cold or aren't you coming in English if your answer is yes you'd say something like yes I'm coming or actually yes I will be cold in French yes in response to a negative question is different from a yes to a positive question are you coming or Trisha is a positive question if you answer yes you would answer which on the other hand if someone asks you aren't you coming and your answer is still yes then you will say C jean-yves impatient ooh I want you're coming over to our place is a negative question so you'd respond seizures oh yes I'm coming in a way she puts yes and no
