QUICK SALUTATIONS IN FRENCH / SALUTATIONS RAPIDES EN FRANÇAIS


Hello everyone! :) Welcome in a new French lesson!
When you meet someone, there are a few basic ways to say « Hello » and « How are you ? », depending if you are speaking to a stranger or someone you know. Remember, it exists two forms in French to address to someone: Tu and Vous or respectively called “Le tutoiement” and “Le vouvoiement”. Let’s see this below:



VOUVOIEMENT (using “Vous” / Polite form / Formal / Older persons / Strangers)

Bonjour / Hello

Comment allez-vous ? / How are you?
or
Vous allez bien ? / Are you doing well?

Au revoir / Goodbye

Passez une bonne journée ! / Have a nice day!

Passez une bonne soirée ! / Have a nice evening!

Passez un bon après-midi ! / Have a nice afternoon!




TUTOIEMENT (using ‘‘Tu’’ / Polite form / Informal / Friends / Family / Parents / People you know well)

Bonjour / Hello

Salut ! / Hi!

Comment ça va ? / How are you?/Are you doing well?
Comment tu vas?    3 ways to say it, three correct ways, 
Comment vas-tu ?   you choose which one is better for you!

Au revoir / Goodbye

Bye ! / Bye!   English word commonly used in French too!

À plus ! / See you!

Passe une bonne journée / Have a good day

Passe une bonne soirée / Have a good evening

Passe un bon après-midi / Have a good afternoon



I hope this quick lesson will be helpful for you! Always remember: it's easy, just try to adapt the form to the person/situation with formal/informal!

BY, THROUGH / PAR

Hello ! In this new article, let's talk about the French preposition " par " (by). Let's get started! :) Usually, " par " is used to mark the passage, the move, accross something, the high, the position (of a object or a building or a boat), the part of something we grab (knife, fork). It can also describes the cause, the way, the order, the distribution, to affirm, and many more!  Let's just see some examples to get familiar with this preposition as it's better to see it in a complete sentence than all alone in a huge text.  Examples:  Used to mark the movement and the passage Il est passé par Lyon . / He went through Lyon . Voyager par mer , par terre . / To travel by sea , by land . Aller par le monde . / Go through the world . Jeter quelque chose par la fenêtre . / Throw something out the window . Passer par de rudes épreuves . / Going through hard times . Cette idée lui est passé par l'

In today's article, we will talk about two words that everyone use everyday and their utilisation in French.  Let's start!  ET / AND "Et" is a  coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Et" express an addition in a sentence . OU / OR   "Ou" is also a coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Ou" express the choice, in a sentence .  The coordination allows not to repeat some terms again. It is used to add something in a sentence or avoiding to say the same things again in one sentence. And with "ou", of course, we can also express a choice in a sentence in the easiest way.
