A Bonjour John, comment vas-tu?

J Todo bien, gracias. Como vas? (All is good, thank you. How is it going?)

A: Je vais très bien, merci John.

A Aujourd’hui I would like us to talk about some expressions that use a different verb than in English to express the same thing.

J Que interesante! Cuéntanos que tienes en mente. (How interesting! What do you have in mind?)

A La première expression qui me vient à l’esprit - the first expression that comes to my mind is

prendre une décision - to make a decision

(to take)

Comment dit-on en espagnol ?

J En español decimos lo mismo, tomar una decisión. (In Spanish we say the same thing, to “take a decision”)

A Une autre expression - another expression

fais-moi savoir - let me know

faire (to do)

J En español sería: dejame saber o digame. (In Spanish it would be allow me to know or tell me).

A faire la sieste - to take a nap

(to do)

J Lo mismo en espanol, hacer la siesta (Likewise in Spanish, to do)

A faire attention - to be careful

J En español sería algo diferente: prestar atencion (In Spanish it would be a bit different, to lend attention)

A Nous n’avons que 2 auxiliaires - we only have 2 auxiliaries AVOIR et ËTRE but sometimes English and French do not use the same to express the same idea.

J’ai faim - I am hungry

(avoir-to have) - (to be)

J Igualmente en espanol, tener hambre (the same in Spanish, to have hunger)

A La même chose avec avoir soif - to be thirsty

J’ai soif - I am thirsty

J Tener sed (to have thirst)

A une autre expression avec les auxiliaires

Avoir mal à - to be hurting

(to have)

It is important to remember that the “à” will change to “au” in front of a masculin singular noun: j’ai mal au ventre

It will say “à la” in front of a feminin singular noun: j’ai mal à la tête

It will say “aux” in front of a plural noun masuclin or feminin : j’ai mal aux pieds

j’ai mal aux dents

J En espanol seria, estar enfermo(a) (in Spanish, it would be similar as in French).

À la prochaine

¡Hasta la próxima!
