Chapter 4: Express Yourself

L et's forget about conjugation and agreement for right now. Those grammers will be much more difficult anyway... Now we are going to learn how to express yourself as this chapter is titled. I think they are as useful as greeting. Maybe more!


Ah, bon? [� bon]
Oh, really?
C'est vrai? [se vr�]
This is true?
Ah, oui? [� wi]
Oh, yeh?
Vraiment? [vrem�]
Is that true?
Mince! [mans]
Darn it!
C'est emb�tant! [setonbeton]
That's annoying!
J'en ai marre! [jene mar]
Sick of it!
Zut, alors! [zutalo]
Nuts!
Tiens! [tian]
Oh, my God!
C'est pas vrai! [se pa vr�]
No way!
Tu plaisantes! [tu plesont]
You're kidding!
C'est incroyable! [setancreabla]
That's unbelievable!
Et alors? [e alo]
So, what?
Tant pis! [ton pi]
Oh well/Too bad!
Bof! [bof]
Whatever!
Je m'en fiche! [ju mon fish]
I don't care!
C'est chouette! [se shuet]
Cool!
Super! [supeR]
Super!
Formidable! [formidabla]
Great!
Quelle chance! [kel shons]
Yes!


S o, what did you think? They are very useful words, aren't they? I think there are few difference in translation. If you think your translation is better, let meknow. In next chapter, we are going to back to grammer lessons. But don't worry. I won't do neither conjugation nor agreement. I will leave them until next section.
