Lesson day8 Commune de Salutations en Française (Common greetings in French) When meeting S.O In the Morning. Bongour In the Afternoon. Bonjour In the Evening. Bon Soir At night. Bon soir When Leaving S.O In the Morning. Bonne Matinée In the Afternoon. Bonne ApreMidi In the Evening. Bonne Soirée At night. Bon nuit NOTE S.O= SomeOne Example; *Bonjour Obrifor, tu as bien Dormi? (Good Morning Obrifor, did you sleep well?) *Bonne Matinée Monsieur Olu (Have a good-day Mr Olu) *BonSoir! Comment allez-vous? (Good Evening, how are you doing?) *Bonne Nuit Abiola Good night Abiola ********************************* Pronounciation in bracket 1.Salut Hi/Bye (Sahlu) This is a great greeting to use with anyone you see rather often or someOne you know rather well. As is the case with greeting someone, bidding someone farewell 2. Coucou! – Hey there! (kuku) This is an extremely informal way of greeting someone, so reserve this one for close friends and family, 3. Quoi de neuf? – What’s up ? (kwi do nuuf) This literally means ‘what’s new?’ and is an excellent greeting to use with a friend you haven’t spoken with in a while, with the intent of starting a conversation. 4. Allô? – Hello? (ahlo) While a cognate of English, this is not used in the same capacity as bonjour, in that you cannot use it to greet people on the street. 5. Au revoir! – Goodbye! (ohrvwar.’) This expression, like bonjour, is another go-to standard salutation, usable in virtually any situation: as you leave the hair salon, as you leave the bus, as you take leave from an acquaintance. 6. Je suis désolé(e) –I am sorry (joh swi day so lay) Use to apologies for any wrong or inconveniencies 7. À plus tard! (À plus!) – See you later! (ah plu tar) This is a useful expression for when you know you will see someone again, such as a friend or classmate, but you’re not quite sure when that will be. A demain--See you tomorrow (ah do mah) 8. Pardon ! --- Excuse me! (pushing through a crowd) / Sorry! (stepped on someone's foott) 9. Enchanté(e)-- Nice to meet you 10. Comment allez-vous ?--How are you? (formal) (commoh tallay –vuh) 11. Ça va ?-- How are you? (informal) (sa va) 12. Ça va.-- I'm fine (in response to Ça va ?) 13. Très bien-- Very good (treh bion) 14. Je vais bien -- I'm fine / I'm well 15. Et vous?—And you?( formal) 16. Et toi?—And you (informal) 17. Je vais bien Examples and simple illustration later in the Day, A plus Tard! |
