Teach me your language I teach you mine

^ Haha, it's so weird! You have to speak with the middle of your mouth, it's just very odd. She tried to get me to say the word for red (which sounded like "ool" or soemthing) and I was like "Huh?"

It's weird, because I'm usually good with other languages as well. My accent in Spanish is fine.

I love imitating other accents!

Chéries, vous êtes fabulEUX
same in singular actually !

Ugh I swear I knew this!

lol I guess Danish is not our thing! I couldn't even pronounce simple words like "hello" and "Thank you" in Danish

Vous êtes fabuleuse is singular because as you know in France we have the the "vous de politesse", you're talking to only one person but you don't know her, or she's older etc. french are so polite!

but you can say vous êtes fabuleuses in plural because you're talking to more than one person!

I took a feminine form for you to understand!
but it's true that in a masculine form the writing is the same for both...because Fabuleux always takes an "x" at the end...
omfg, french is complicated!!!!!

 

[stersita]

^Yes it is!! But so nice too

 

[Party.in.Paris]

oh my bad!!
it's chériS, vous êtes fabulEUX
and chériES vous êtes fabulEUSES

see! even for us it's complicated

Could someone explain me where you have to put the 'ne..pas' in french sentences? For exemple, is it "je ne me suis pas levée tôt"? And what would it be with "elle y est allée"?
Je ne comprends pas

 

[La bordélique]

evisu donna, for "elle y est allée" it'd be:
elle n'y est pas allée

you always use the "n'" before verbs starting with vowels.

other examples to help you:
il n'aura pas son jouet
elle n'allait pas sortir
il n'est pas bête
elle n'ira pas au concert

 

[stersita]

"je ne me suis pas levée tôt"?

OMG I remember being so confused with this...I never knew if I had to put the ne pas around the être verb or around the leve verb

 

[La bordélique]

oh, i forgot,
"je ne me suis pas levée tôt" is correct.

 

[renata75]

These in Slovak(similar to Czech but pronunciation is softer)

Honey you are fabulous - Zlatko, si bajecny! (for a boy) / bajecna (for a girl)
You are so hot - Si tak sexi (horuca)
I love you - Milujem ta
and in Hungarian I now how to write just
I love you - Szeretlek

need help in English!

do all those sentences correct??

-the soldier who came to arrest them was very young.
-It was not the only foreigners who have been imprisonned.
-The boy with whom I shared my child's plays, became journalist.
-I received regularly his letters without which I would have been depressed.
-He now works in a nearby town whose mayor is an old friend of mine.
-I have met her family a week ago.I have came across them by chance in the park.
-He has been reading that book for hours and doesn't seem to want to stop.
-Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in France in 1941?
-I have just seen his mother, she has taken her decision yet.

Oh, that makes it easier, I didn't know that about the vowel!

But what if there's a verb with no vowel, like:
il me faut faire mes devoirs
do you always put 'ne' before the pronoms compléments and 'pas' before the infinitif?

Thanks for explaining!

I hope it's good, I'm not native English so I'm not sure about everything..

Huh? In what way?

now that we're in the Ne and Pas of french language, I've been told in class that you always have to surround a negative tense with both words..ne and pas..never one or the other alone...however, I keep seeing in french movies that they say Je sais pas..is that still considered proper french?.

it's more colloquial than proper, people drop the "ne" part all the time in informal speech but it should never be done in writing.

the rule is true, except when you're using other negatives like jamais or personne or stuff like that, then you take out the "pas" part

 

[stripes]

I've just discovered that theard and I'm fallen in love with it!
Is here anybody who speaks Czech and coul translate worlds "Vypsana fixa" (I was watching TV and I heard that band. I like some songs but I really don't unerstand lyrics and name of the band is a mystery for me as well ; / ) and "mazoretka"?

thank you!..

I'm still puzzled about the meaning of personne... I keep bugging my french ex about it.. french in general is rather puzzling for me anyway..so many things that dont make any sense....but i still love it..
