\n\"C'est mon anniversaire aujourd'hui!\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"C'est son anniversaire le mois prochain.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"C'\u00e9tait l'anniversaire de ma soeur la semaine derni\u00e8re\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMathieu replies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEn fait c'est aujourd\u00b4hui mais je le f\u00eate ce week-end.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\"My birthday is actually today but I'm celebrating it this weekend\". \"F\u00eater un anniversaire\" is how you say \"celebrating a birthday\" or \"having a birthday party\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDemain on va f\u00eater mon anniversaire! (tomorrow we'll celebrate my birthday, we'll throw a party for my birthday)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc's response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAh eh bien, bon anniversaire mon vieux!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He's wishing his buddy happy birthday, and adds \"mon vieux\" which means something like \"buddy\" or \"pal\". In this particularly context, Jean-Luc also uses the word \"vieux\" (old) as a kind of joke because Mathieu is turning a year older. However, \"mon vieux\" is used in a way similar to \"old pal\" in English:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSalut mon vieux! \u00c7a fait plaisir de te voir! (Hey buddy, it's nice to see you!)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNote that the phrase \"mon vieux\" is mainly employed by people over 30, it's rarely used by the younger crowd - these will say \"mec\", \"man\", or \"mon fr\u00e8re\" or \"ma soeur\" for those of Arab origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u00c7a te fait quel \u00e2ge?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This is a colloquial expression for asking \"how old are you?\", it literally says \"what age does that make you?\" This often has a connotation of \"you're must be getting older by now...\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nElle n'est plus toute jeune! \u00c7a lui fait quel \u00e2ge maintenant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(She's not getting any younger... How old might she be now?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMathieu is turning 40 and wants everyone to know he's having a big party:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nJe f\u00eate mes 40 ans!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
For French speakers, this spells big fun party to celebrate the completed decade. If you tell someone you're turning 40 (or 30, 50, 60...) they'll generally respond with something like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTu vas f\u00eater \u00e7a comme il se doit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(you're going to celebrate that as you should)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc replies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n40 ans quand m\u00eame...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Here, the expression \"40 ans quand m\u00eame...\" means something like \"40 really? that old?\" Jean-Luc expresses his surprise about Mathieu is turning 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another example of such use of \"quand m\u00eame\" is a person who asks a friend how much he paid for a mountain bike. Suppose the friend says 5.000\u20ac. The person might say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAh quand m\u00eame, 5000\u20ac...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(as in: 5000\u20ac! that's not cheap...)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc continues saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nJe te voyais plus jeune = I would have tought you were younger<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Notice the expression \"je te voyais...\", literally \"I was seeing you as...\". Imagine you see an actor you love in person for the first time, you might say to your friend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nJe le voyais plus grand (I thought he was taller)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJe la voyais plus \u00e2g\u00e9e (I thought she was older)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThen Jean-Luc throws one of those venomous arrows French speakers commonly do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMais bon c'est vrai que tu commences \u00e0 avoir des rides et des cheveux gris...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He's basically saying, I was a bit surprised to learn you're turning 40 as I thought you were younger, but come to think of it, you do look older... That's quite a nasty thing to say by US\/UK standards, yet something you might hear from a French-speaking friend - as well as other harsh critics on your physical or moral imperfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mathieu is a French speaker so he expected this kind of comment. He just takes the blow and says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOuais OK \u00e7a va...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This is equivalent to something like \"yeah, OK, whatever\". It shows Mathieu doesn't enjoy the remark but won't comment on it. He has a specific goal in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBon alors, samedi tu viens ou non? (so, are you coming on Saturday or not?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Here, \"ou non!\" still reflects his annoyance with Jean-Luc's unpleasant comment, it's a bit like saying \"let's cut through the BS, are you coming or not!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine you've been standing for hours in a store to help a friend chose a new couch, but she's still hesitant and you're getting really annoyed. You might say to your friend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nbon alors, tu l'ach\u00e8te ce canap\u00e9 ou non!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(so, are you buying this couch or not!)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc detects Mathieu's annoyed tone and says he's just joking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nJe rigole! te vexe pas!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"Je rigole\" means \"I'm kidding, it's actually a highly colloquial word you only use in everyday spoken French but never in formal writing - the right would be \"je plaisante\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\"C'est vrai, tu trouves que je ressemble \u00e0 un clown?\" (you really think I look like a clown?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Bien sur que non, je rigole!\" (of course not, I'm kidding!)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"Ne te vexe pas!\" means \"don't be offended!\", it's often used in spoken French following \"je plaisante\" or \"je rigole\", e.g. if the person didn't take your joking comment well, like in the previous example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nNe te vexe pas, c'est une blague! (don't take it seriously, it's a joke)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc confirms he'll come to the party:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOui bien s\u00fbr que je viendrai.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Note the expression \"bien s\u00fbr que...\" to express certainty or a strong willingness to do something:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBien s\u00fbr qu'il fait beau en juin (of course the weather is nice in June)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBien s\u00fbr que j'irai \u00e0 New York pour le mariage (for sure I'll go to NY for the wedding)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHe then asks whether the party will be at Mathieu's place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nCe sera chez toi?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Mathieu proudly answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nNon, j'ai lou\u00e9 une m\u00e9ga salle avec un super DJ.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
When you're celebrating a decade birthday, it's cool to throw a big event in some external venue with hired musicians. Mathieu rented a really big place (\"m\u00e9ga salle\") with a great DJ (\"un super DJ\").<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nUne m\u00e9ga f\u00eate (a big big party)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUn super buffet (a great buffet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc is impressed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\"Ah oui carr\u00e9ment!\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This is a very commonly used spoken French phrase. \"Carr\u00e9ment\" normally means \"outright\". Here, \"ah oui carr\u00e9ment\" means \"so you're going all out, you're not holding back, you're doing the whole shabang!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, someone decides to learn to play the music and so has a complete home studio built in their house. A friend who see that may say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\"Ah oui, un studio de musique, carr\u00e9ment!\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThey may add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTu ne fais pas les choses \u00e0 moiti\u00e9, toi! (you don't do things half-assed)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nEt il y aura beaucoup de monde?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMathieu answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOui pas mal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Literally, this translates to \"yes, no bad\". In this context, however, this is short for \"pas mal de ...\", i.e. \"quite a bit of\":<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIl y aura pas mal de monde<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCette voiture fait pas mal de bruit (this car makes quite a bit of noise)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u00c7a fait pas mal de temps (it's been quite a while = quite a bit of time)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mathieu adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPar contre il y a une petite participation au frais.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\"Par contre\" normally means \"on the other hand\", \"contrariwise\". French speakers, however, often use it to introduce a caveat, an obligation, or something sort of negative. In this case, \"par contre\" makes the transition from the fun stuff (the party with lots of people) and the related obligation (chipping it to cover the costs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's also a way to warn someone about the caveat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTu peux me d\u00e9poser en voiture? (can you give me a ride?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oui, par contre je n'ai plus d'essence... (yes, but you should know I'm out of gas)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean Luc is OK with the idea of chipping in, and asks what the amount of the contribution is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPas de probl\u00e8me, c'est combien?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
50\u20ac.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Jean-Luc is quite shocked by the amount Mathieu is asking from him and says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n50? Ah d'accord...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The phrase \"ah d'accord...\" is used all the time in spoken colloquial French. You typically say it when you're shocked by some news and you need a moment to digest the information. A close English equivalent may be \"OK I get it...\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFinalement je ne pourrai pas t'aider pas pour le d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement. (in the end I won't be able to help you move)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah d'accord...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nElle dit qu'elle ne veut plus te voir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah OK d'accord...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Luc quickly gets over his surprise and says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMais l\u00e0, tout de suite, j'ai rien sur moi, je te les file plus tard. OK?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Notice the phrase \"l\u00e0, tout de suite\" which is redundant - \"l\u00e0\" means \"now\", \"tout de suite\" = \"right now\". French speakers often use the phrase to express a sense of immediacy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nL\u00e0 tout de suite, je ne peux pas, je suis super occup\u00e9 (I can't right now, I'm super busy)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe expression \"je n'ai rien sur moi\", literally \"I have nothing on me\", means I don't have any money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTu peux me pr\u00eater 10\u20ac?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00e9sol\u00e9 je n'ai rien sur moi.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHe then adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nJe te les file plus tard, OK?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\"Filer\" here is slang for \"donner\":<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTu peux me filer une cigarette? (can you give me a cigarette?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"Je te les file plus tard\" is probably a way of blowing his friend off and not giving him the money at all while continuing to appear relaxed and friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
