June 25, 2022 6 EASY WAYS TO SAY “I AM SORRY “ in French
Before we dive into in-depth explanations, let’s see three fast way to say I’m sorry in French.
Désolé(e) !
Sorry!
Pardon !
Sorry! Excuse-me!
Toutes mes excuses !
My apologies!
Any of these three expressions would work to say sorry as if you bumped into someone, or to be polite when you did something slightly wrong.
The most common way to say ‘I’m sorry’ in French is “je suis désolé(e)“.
How To Spell I’m Sorry In French?
“Désolé” is a French adjective, so its spelling will agree depending who speaks. The good thing is that the pronunciation won’t change whether it’s spelled désolé/e/s. We typically use it with the verb to be in French.
1. Examples:
Paula est désolé.
Paula is sorry.
Lola est désolée.
Lola is sorry.
Paulo est désolé
Paulo is sorry.
Folu et Seun sont désolés.
Folu and Seun are sorry.
2. Other examples
It’s very common to modify this statement with an adverb to make it more profond, more apologetic, more formal.
Je suis vraiment désolé.
I’m really sorry.
Je suis sincèrement désolé.
I’m sincerely sorry.
Je suis profondément désolé.
I’m deeply sorry.

June 21, 2022 7 POPULAR FRENCH IDIOMS
In today’s episode, we will learn 10 popular French idioms.
Connect with me: https://wa.me/message/G4EXB23HGD2CO1.
What are idioms?
1. Ça marche
Literal translation: it walks.
Figurative translation: 'it functions', but also 'got it' or 'okay'
Être dans la lune
Literal translation: to be in the moon
Figurative translation: to daydream, to pay zero attention.
This is easy to guess, right? Sometimes, French also use this for the same meaning: être tête en l'air - which literally means 'head in the air,' but actually means 'to be distracted'.
Est-ce que tu as compris ce que je viens de te dire?
Y: Quoi? Désolée, j'étais dans la lune.
X: Do you understand what I just told you?
Y: What? Sorry, I was daydreaming.
3.Ça coûte un bras
Literal translation: It costs an arm.
Figurative translation: It's super expensive.
I know, there's an identical idiom in English - It costs an arm and a leg. Who copied whom?
Ex.
ça coûte les yeux de la tête (it costs the eyes in the head)
This car was extremely expensive.
4.
Faire la grasse matinée
Literal translation: to do a fat morning.
Figurative translation: to stay in bed until late in the morning.
Chaque samedi, j'aime bien faire la grasse matinée.
Every Saturday, I like staying in bed until late.
5.
Coup de foudre
Literal translation: a lightning strike.
Figurative translation: to fall madly in love at first sight.
Did you guess it right? Use it if you feel like you've been hit by a lighting bolt when you see someone for the first time.
If it's only a 'moderate' love at first sight, this is what you use: coup de coeur.
C'était un coup de foudre entre lui et moi.
We fell madly in love at first sight, him and me.
6.
Être sage comme une image
Literal translation: to be reasonable like an image.
Figurative translation: it's usually used to define kids who are very calm.
Les enfants que je garde sont sages comme des images. C'est un travail facile et je suis très content.
The kids I babysit are very calm. It's an easy job, and I'm so glad.
7.
Boire comme un trou
Literal translation: to drink like a hole.
Figurative translation: well, you can guess, I think (hint: the picture of Kermit above).
Vous devrez le conduire chez lui, il boit comme un trou.
You'll have to drive him home; he's drinking heavily.
