Oui, je know French mais je ne pas remember much.

Hi!

I'm picking up french again after... 2 1/2 years of not even looking at the general direction where I keep my books. xD Surprisingly, I still remember a fair bit, it's just that I need to increase my vocab ~_~

Anyway, question is when talking about body parts, do you use definitive (le, la, l', les) or possessive (mon, ma, m', mes)?

I wrote in my notes "Je me suis cass� ma jambe." but then the teacher had crossed the ma out to write "Je me suis cass� la jambe."

I was just wondering if I really can't use the possessive in this case?

You can't say "Je me suis cass� ma jambe."... Your teacher is right... It's "Je me suis cass� la jambe."...
BUT... You can say "J'ai cass� ma jambe."... That's when you have to use your "ma" if you're talking about your own leg...
See how special it is?
"Je me suis cass� la jambe."
"Tu t'es cass� la jambe."
"Il s'est cass� la jambe."
and so on...

I'll let you try to figure it out by yourself from my example... The difference when you can't use possessive and when you can...
If you still can't figure it out, me and other people in here will help you out... *Lazy*

How do you say:

"You are my star" & "Be my star" in French (casual rather than formal or polite please)? (Just checking to make sure I got it right ;D)

Are there any other phrases/sentences or words close to 10 characters that sound nice/cute/sweet in French?

Need this by Thursday if possible

Thanks~

No replies = epic fails ;(

DW. I got it.

I would really appreciate it if someone would be so kind to help me translate a piece of text for my French essay ^^" I'll give you a cookie? >< It's basically a short movie report on a french film that we saw some time ago...and yes, I am guilty of using an online translator but I put in my two cents too! X3

English Version: Rue Casse Negre is a film about racial unfairness in Martinique Haiti in the 1920�s. Jose is a young boy who represents the small hope of a better life in the midst of the sugar cane field. His grandmother, Amatine, works in the cane fields and does not want Jose to grow up as a black man without dignity and pride who works in the cane fields. She does not want him to be constantly ruled by the ruling white people and given insufficient money in return. Since Jose is lacking a father, he has his friend Medouze, an old worker from the cane fields who gives Jose advice about life and tells him stories about his past. With the help of these two authority figures in Jose�s life, he steps on the path away from the hopeless minority of working in the sugar cane field.

French Version: La rue Casse Negre est un film au sujet d'injustice raciale dans Martinique, Ha�ti dans 1920. Jose est un jeune gar�on qui repr�sente le petit espoir d'une meilleure vie au milieu du champ de canne � sucre. Sa grand-m�re, Amatine, travaux dans les domaines du champ � sucre et ne veut pas que Jose grandisse en tant qu'homme noir sans dignit� et fiert� qui travaille dans les domaines de canne. Elle ne veut pas qu'il soit constamment ordonn� par les personnes blanches d'acte et argent insuffisant donn� en �change. Puisque Jose manque d'un p�re, il a son ami Medouze, un ouvrier vieil des gisements de canne qui donne des conseils de Jose au sujet de la vie et lui raconte des histoires au sujet de son pass�. Avec l'aide de ces deux chiffres d'autorit� dans la vie de Jose, il fait un pas sur le chemin � partir de la minorit� d�sesp�r�e de travail dans le domaine de canne � sucre.

Bonjour, j'aimerais savoir comment on dit en fran�ais:

"Please b*tch" = S'il te p^lait salope. xDDD
"Really now" = vraiment maintenant?

[sweetxsimple]

It'd be "J'aime Louis Vuitton, et je suis belle."

Assuming you're a girl...



And je aime does not exist because of bloody vowels.

Tu devrais faire attention au francais d'Internet parce que si un jour on te demande d'�crire quelque chose de s�rieux et puis soudainement tu n'arrives pas a �crire proprement tu regretteras de ne pas avoir �tudie un peu de grammaire ^^

Goodbye California,
J'ai perdu ma place,
I’ve lost my place,
Je m’en irait demain
I will go tomorrow

J’ai jamais cru en ces histories
I’ve never believed these stories
On r�ve un peu
We dream a little
On cri pour rien
We cry for nothing
J’aurai bien voulu tout savoir
I really wanted to know everything
Attendre un peu
Wait a bit
Me dire qu’enfin
Tell me finally
On aurait perdu
We have lost
Sans y croire
Without believing it
On aurait combattu pour rien
We fought for nothing
Le temps de s’en apercevoir
The times to realize it
Je sais qu’on aurait vu la fin
I know that we saw the end

Goodbye California
Et quoi qu’on y fasse
And what we...?
Je sais qu’on oubliera tout � la fin
I know that we will forget everything in the end

J’ai jamais pri� pour y croire
I’ve never prayed to believe it
Si j’�tais revenu pour rien
If I returned for nothing
J’aurais bien fini par savoir
I would have finished by knowledge
Que c’est le pass� qu’on retient
it’s the key that we keep

Je sais
I know
Qu’on aurait vu la fin
That we saw the end

Je cherche encore pourquoi
I try to find again why
Tout s’�vapore
Everything vanished
Goodbye
J’existe encore pour �a
I still exist for it
Et sans remords
And without remorse
Goodbye

The bolded is stuff I didn't get or am not too sure of. Thanks to anyone that helps ^^
