je n\'etais - Hi all, bonjour tout le monde
Is this a correct way to write :
I was not in the French chatroom = je n\'etais pas sur la sally francais
Please help to correct me,aide moi s\'il vous plait!
merci

- Bonjour,

Je n\'étais pas dans le chatroom français.

Some people might use \'salle de discussion\' instead of \'chatroom\'. I prefer the English word.

A bientôt!

Mery

- thankyou mery,
an other question: non plus
does it mean > no more or > more than
i think \" ne .... plus\" would be no more
\" ne ....rien\" is nothing and \" ne ...jamais \" is never, right?
thankyou, merci

Mery Sunday 16th of July 2006 12:18:16 AM
- You\'re welcome :)

[b]Non...plus[/b] - neither

Example: moi non plus / me neither
je ne sais pas non plus / I don\'t know either

[b]Ne...plus [/b]

Example: je ne veux plus y aller / I don\'t want to go anymore

[b]Ne... rien [/b]

Example: je ne veux rien lui dire / I don\'t want to tell him anything

[b]Ne...jamais[/b]

Example: je ne joue jamais au football / I never play football

Hope this helps!

Mery

- i have a friend send me a sentence : je t\'aime non plus
i understand that je t\'aime is i love you
how do you understand his line? i love you neither? sound strange to me
i need to learn a lot of French :D
merci mery

Mery Sunday 16th of July 2006 04:16:36 AM
- Je t\'aime non plus doesn\'t mean anything. It should be:

Je t\'aime aussi: I love you too

Je ne t\'aime pas non plus: I don\'t love you either

Je ne t\'aime plus: I don\'t love you anymore

So even myself can\'t understand his sentence :D

De rien :)

gumleaf Sunday 16th of July 2006 09:18:06 AM
- i wrote a sentence attached to my signature in email:
Je t\'embrasse tres fort= I kiss you deeply ( very) :D
and i think he reply to that by \" je\' t\'aime non plus\"
i was hoping that he said : i love you also
or i love you more :D
another sentence that i would like to write correctly is :
you dont know how much i love you
my try j\'essaye:
tu ne sais pas combien je t\'aime
thankyou

Mery Sunday 16th of July 2006 11:11:38 PM
- Like I said in my previous message \"je t\'aime non plus\" doesn\'t mean anything.

You don\'t know how much I love you = tu ne sais pas à quel point je t\'aime :p

If you need more sentences to be translated, don\'t hesitate :D

- HI Mery and everybody Bonjour tout le monde
The song Richard Clayderman plays on piano \" Concerto pour une jeune filles \" Je t\'aime\"
I understand it as > \"A song for a young girl i love\" ( is it right?) c\'est correct?
what if i want to write a sentence such as : a song for the man that i love
would it be > Concerto pour un homme que j\'adore
how weird and funny that sound in French? do that line come as nature in French language (for a female saying i mean)
I understand few expression would sound normal and romantic in somes language but when it translate to other it can be quiet funny
please help aide- moi s\'il vous plait!
merci

Mery Sunday 20th of August 2006 08:18:21 PM
- Salut :)

Concerto pour une jeune fille \"je t\'aime\" = A song for a young girl \"I love you\"

Concerto pour une jeune fille QUE j\'aime = A song for a young girl that I love

a song for the man that i love = concerto pour un homme que j\'aime (why do you want to use \"adore\"?)

I don\'t really understand your question, sorry.

je t\'aime: I love you
je t\'adore: less strong than I love you (I appreciate you a lot)
je t\'apprécie: I like you

Sorry if it doesn\'t really help :s

gumleaf Thursday 24th of August 2006 04:16:40 PM
- hi
my question is if it sound ok for a female to write \" Concerto pour un homme que j\'aime \" or \" Concerto pour un homme que j\'adore\" ( A song for the man that i appreciated)
to a male in French language ?
iam about to record a song for a friend and i want to put kindda romantic name to it . But i afraid it may sound weird in French
and how do i write : I send you pm in fRench
my try j\'essay : Je t\'envoie des pm en francais
or I will send you private messages in French
Je t\'enverrai messages prives en francais
merci, thankyou

Mery Wednesday 30th of August 2006 12:03:47 AM
- Hi,

Sorry for the late response.

A song to a man I love => une chanson pour un homme que j\'aime

A song to a man I appreciate => une chanson pour un homme que j\'apprécie

You can use those two phrases with a man.

I send you a PM => je t\'envoie un PM
I\'ll send you private messages => je t\'enverrai DES messages privés

:)

- Je proposerais : [b]elle paraît bien[/b] :)

welenA Monday 09th of October 2006 02:42:22 PM
- elle paraît bien? :] ah merci
on peut dire donc
elle paraît mal? :?

Chapeaumelon Monday 09th of October 2006 11:01:08 PM
- Oui, il me semble :)

- En réponse au mot de Gumleaf , son copain lui dit : \" je t\'aime non plus \" ... Je pense qu\'il voulait dire : \" je t\'aime , moi non plus \" pour reprendre à son nom les paroles célèbres d\'une chanson de Serges Gainsbourg...!! dans ce cas, la phrase veut dire le contraire : c à d = je t\'aime \" aussi \" ! I love you too ! Tricky french language \'s pun ! Or... Gainsbourg\'s one : hahaha!

She looks good = \" Elle paraît bien, cette fille \" ou \" Elle a l\'air bien , cette fille \" : both will do .
Le contraire se dira, selon le contexte : Elle ne me paraît pas bien , cette fille... ou... elle ne me semble pas bien...ou ...elle semble, elle a l\'air ( un peu ) bizarre , cette fille , tu ne trouves pas ?! Mais \" elle paraît mal \" est un peu trop \" direct \", à mon sens .
