[Replay] FYW 067 : Why you shouldn’t say “very delicious” in French


Listen Later

What’s wrong with saying “Yum, this is very delicious!” or “Wow, this is very beautiful!” Nothing…in English. However, a literal translation of these expressions -along with a few others- doesn’t work in French. Here’s why.

Vocabulary and Spelling of the French Words mentioned in this episode

Délicieux

Super / génial / formidable / merveilleux / grandiose / fabuleux
Magnifique / superbe
Meilleur / mieux
Pire
Essentiel, indispensable
vraiment= really
absolument = absolutely
“Miam! C’est très délicieux!” ? “Miam ! C’est vraiment / absolument délicieux !”
(= Yum ! It’s really / absolutely delicious !)
” Wahou ! C’est très magnifique ! “? ” Wahou ! C’est vraiment / absolument magnifique ! ”
(= Wow ! That’s really / absolutely beautiful!)
