Evelyne por favor, hasta q fuiste a Cuba, haz un video de slang cubano si???
Porque el slang cubano es muy distinto verdad?
Y muchas gracias por todos tus videos!
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Makai Kalel instablaster :)
@Marlon Tristen thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Marlon Tristen It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
These are great until you hear them in a sentence when French person is speaking 100mph an hour and then it just sounds like one noise.
Well, you get used to it. It always seems faster than it is until you fully understand the language. In reality we all speak fast in our native language.
I am dedinitely improving by watching French movies and shows. Helps a lot! Can you do me a favor? There is a french show on Nerflix called the Zone Blanche. Could you tell me if they speak French with a country accent? Seems to be harder to understand than other shows! ;)
@@clammerify Well just watched a few minutes of it ( always looking for a new good serie haha ) and to me it just sounds like regular french. Nothing to do with some french from the country that even for me is sometimes hard to understand.
@@clammerify yes it's from Québec
🤣🤣🤣
grave is like the english equivalent of deadass
Lol
Diya Singh this was crazy helpful
kind of more like "very" "really"
Omigasp- i thought it was only in Tagalog 🇵🇭✨ , in tagalog it's "Grabe" (Grah-beh)
@@ilovemygf2202 but in English very / really isn't slang so that doesn't work as an English slang equivalent.
*laisse tomber* = just leave it
*grave* = positive/negative (bad) confirmation
*mec* = guy (like, that guy)
*mytho* = say in disbelief (myth)
*kiffer* = to like (a lot) appreciation| to like someone
*ouf* = verlan--> not sure but i think she meant that it means crazy
*avoir la flemme* = to be lazy
*mdr* = mort de rire--> when youre laughing really hard (lol)
*meuf* = your girl
*go* = girl as well
*coup de coeur* = you really like something
*nanani nanana* = to cancel a point
*vas-y* =goodbye to friends, go ahead informal
*quoi de neuf* = whats up
*bagnole* = car
*se barrer* = when someone disappeared suddendly
*la bouffe, bouffer* = la bouffe= food bouffer = to eat
*déchirer* = you rock
*faire dodo* = to have a nap kind of/sleep
*fric* =money
*pote* = friend
ptites corrections:
grave =means "very" but can be used as a form of confirmation
mytho = liar/lying
ouf = verlan of "fou" meaning crazy
meuf/go = just means girl, your girl would be "ta meuf/ ta gow"
vas-y = this can have a lot of meanings and it can be used in plenty of instances instead of words such as "come on/nah/yo/please/lets go/do it" this one would be pretty hard to grasp for a non native. An example would be "vazy stp" meaning "come on, please"
se barrer = this just means to leave
déchirer = to rock, interchangeable with the word "lit"
these are pretty basic slang words tbh, and some are not even considered slang like "faire dodo/ faire tomber/ quoi de neuf" which would fall in the category of commonly used expressions.
I’d said laisse tomber is more like never mind 💀
And mec is dude
Mytho is more like liar too
课代表来总结了
Je suis française et je trouve que tu as très bien expliqué bravo 😊
Merci, j'ai essayé de mon mieux pour bien expliquer tout en anglais!😀
another form for “mdr” which is used sometime is “ptdr” which is pète de rire, basically saying “lol” but in French
Thanks!
For me, it's like this.
Mdr = lol
Ptdr = lmfao
@@Lava_splash Or just lmao
No matter how many times I remind myself that ptdr means pète de rire, I will still ALWAYS accidentally read it as putain de rire, every time. Idk why 😂
@@Lava_splash Je pense que c'est
Mdr = lol
Ptdr = lmao
Et xptdr (explosé de rire) = lmfao
That darn "mdr" drove me crazy. I would see it in instagram comments all the time and knew I was missing the point lol. I also noticed that french speakers tend to turn words like "je suis" to "j'suis" but i assume its probably easier to type or something.
Yes, they sinply shorten it. Like when I talked in the video. You actually say “j’suis” colloquially. Just like leaving out the “ne” when negating. You’d say “je suis pas..” instead of “je ne suis pas..”.
The shortest way to pronounce "je suis" is "chuis".
And
"Je ne sais pas" = "Chais pas"
@@Laurent69ftm do you type it like that too?
@@kaamn1829 Yeah it's the "official" "spelling", well every time we write it we write it this way
or shorter "chépa" if we're lazy
La meuf qui parle dans cette vidéo je la kiffe de ouf!!! 😍😍😍 Mdr! 🤣
ferme ta gueule stp
J’aime la langue francaise. J’ai appris un peu a l’ecole. Hope to be fluent one day 💖 love your videos
I would love to learn more. You could do a second part. I'm a French learner and found it really interesting.
Mytho is actually short for mythomane, which means compulsive liar, so mytho is just liar :P
I thought it’s similar to the English word Myth, something that isn’t true
OMG! I'm from Germany and just started watching Skam France and seriously ALLLLLL these words are used that often. I looked most of them up already since they didn't make sense in the original meaning e g grave - but this is such a good help - thank you! :)
You explain very well these expressions. Just a few additions: gars’ for ‘mec’ (or ‘keum’ in verland), ‘se casser’ or ´s’arracher’ for ‘se barrer’, ‘zyva’ (verlan of ‘vas y’) but just to mean leave me alone, the past participle ´déchiré’ to say high/stone/wasted ( also ´défoncé’, its verlan ‘fonsdé’ or ‘arraché, ´la thune’ for ‘le fric’ ( there are just so many expressions but these 2 are the most common, maybe be with ´le blé’ which means wheat), ´une caisse’ for ‘bagnole’ ... it’s also super useful to know some slang when living abroad :)
For "fric "you can also say "tune" -> j’ai plus de tune
l'argent, le fric, les tunes, les pognons, les moyens, appelle-le comme vous voulez je m'en fous tant que j'en ai assez...
there's also poignon or blé
*Kiffer is originaly arabic
*Laisse tomber is like the New Jersey/New York "forget about it"
You did very good 👐🏾 I'm a new sub.
May I ask where're you from? I can not tell from your English intonation.
A great eg of verlan is Stromae (Maestro reversed syllables) the musician and singer whom I love. Il est formidable! X
grave is like fr
the music shouldn't compete with your beautiful voice and infectious energy
I don't even know the basics of French! Still, I'm watching this video... Haha
OMG I'm so glad that I have found your channel. I'm learning from home, and I want to learn how to speak naturally like a real French girl haha thank u so much ❤️🥺
that is so cool !! i am not as awesome and her but i actually post videos on learning french as well !!
@@GalaSalv I’ll sub!
@@GalaSalv you have exactly the content I need :))
@@aviator2117 omg yay 😁
@@GalaSalv yup, I really like your videos 😁
Merci pour cette vidéo, elle est très utile!
This was so helpful. Merci! I want to move to France in the next few years
Very insightful!
By the way what’s funny with mdr is that we also say it: it’s not only texting slang. “J’étais trop mdr” for instance.
Young people say it quite often.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I have also started studying French via Duolingo as you recommended.
The thing about Verlan was very interesting. We have yob instead of boy in the UK.
Yeah verlan and argot was a language of poor city people during last century. Now some word are stay in current language. U can find some people using verlan for each word again. Bruce grannec fifa player in twitch for exemple. But i was more common 50 years in the past.
@@chrisbreizh29 Thanks.
i love your english voice, very clear and nice!
faire dodo was one of many phrases my creole mother (from Louisiana in the US) and family would say to me...so I never realized it was actual slang in Paris...I thought it was Louisiana Creole!! Great vid!
c'est fantastique! I hadn't heard some of these before, so useful merci beaucoup!
Really useful! Thank you! It helps to watch French tv series and get the sense
I’m definitely going to use “nanani nanana” instead of “yadda yadda” from now on lol
Teach me teach me... like your motivation.. good job
Hi, urban eve how are you. I am from Montreal,Quebec,Canada, in quebec the quebecois people most of them say bon matin, then bonjour.
Thank you so much that really helps a lot, I love your videossss. Hope to see more these great videos!
Merci.
Love the track in the background.
Cute french and well illustrated.
Cimer UrbanEve.
Really good video, I’m french (far away from Paris😂) but all the words are really well explained ! And you were right on « ouf » ! Bye👋
@TheUrbanEve I'm so happy I found the channel I was searching for 😍 your videos are really useful! I came to think the best teacher for a polyglot is another polyglot, because he/she knows the struggles and the right tips to keep the learning flowing and sustainably challenging. On top of that, your voice is so sweet to hear to❣you go girl!
Hi my name is Marinette and I love your videos I've been practicing almost every day and thank you for the help you inspire me what I want to do with that is not in French and before went in French and hopefully one of these days I get to go the France I'm living there as well and you are my favorite CZcamsr you are all so beautiful
Hi I'm marinette and theres something about me that no one knows yet
These sound fun! I want to learn more!
Thankfully ive put myself in a position where i can use a shit ton of words in other languages and none if ny friends will bat an eye so ill wirk these into my vocabulary
I knew 11 of those phrases, not bad but I'm gonna learn the rest as well :'D
One possible translation for 'grave' is 'word' or 'word up'.
Excellent!
Just one thing to say:
Meuf, tu déchire grave👌
(I'm french)
Just one thing to say :
Jsp enfaite je me fais juste chier
Are these still used today? I know in English some slang will get used less as time passes
@@cruethepanda thats exactly what I need to know. If you find out can you pls tell me?
this was so useful!
Please make more of thissssss❤️❤️❤️👍
Loved this...did not know many of these. I studied French..it's so long ago. Merci mille fois!
Thank you
Bonjour
Merci beaucoup.
Que lo hagas con español también!!!!
Très informatique, voilà vas y 😜
This Christmas holiday is gonna be fun with my French gfs family 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m from Afghanistan so it’d be funny haha
Thanks btw haha
Backgraund music is cool by the way. You are also cool by the way 😉
Great vid!
votre vid a m'aider beaucoup! merci beau
ty so muuuch♥️
Fric = oseille = pèz = thunes 😌🙂
You are a good French speaker. Your video was nice to watch.
Tu est si cool, je kiffe tes gestes
It’s gonna be perfect if with substantial ,by the way thanks a lot
Merci Beacoup!! Gracias pour tout.
Thank so much for your help girlll❤️❤️❤️
Très interessante . Background music trop forte. Génial. Keep it up.
I enjoyed your video very much. I was thinking one translation of grave could be "Absolutely." when it is used in the positive sense. New Yorkers like me would translate "laisse tomber" as "Fagetaboudit" MDR
My friend Catie should try the italki. But she don't have money. Since she failed her french class in 9th grade.
tres bien expliquer,et en bilangue aussi pour moi parce- que mon propre langue maternelle est anglais.le verlan c est plutot utiliser parmi les jeunes mais ils faut apprendre quand meme.
I liked your l'argent gesture and your french "R" pronounciation..
Vous êtes très cool, j'ai tout appris merci à vous
Tu as un bon accent en français. Bravo tu as même sorti des mots d'origine africaine utilisés en français 👏👏👏👏
So great, loved it.
Merci!
Hello, Eve. How do you say in French "I got your back," or "I have your back." (?) --meaning, I will support you in a fight or confrontation or debate.
merci,c'est tres interessant
@TheUrbanEve
First of all Great Video! Keep up the good work.
Your voice is overpowered by the background music, you should maybe try to lower it next time so we can hear you better.
😋😋
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful and great energy
Great 👍🏿 like you said it’s really slang . So use it with friends not with adults or in the workplace , guys
The 39 dislikes are the strict french teachers who dont like students using slang
This video is very fun
Bonjour, merci pour la vidéo. French is hard but I want to be fluent which is gonna be real hard. I'm a beginner of course so it will take time.
When I was new to America and still learning English (French and English were both not my mother tongue, learning both at the same time lead to some language barriers between everyone) wanting to show off, I wanted to type cats in French on the computer, I went to google images and was scarred for life. I typed in “chattes” instead of “chat(s)” chattes meaning p***y.....I still look back and cringe. I never got in trouble and none of my friends saw it thank god.
Rigoler is another term used too
You're awesome 🤗
L'envers (the reverse) = l'en + vers = vers + l'en = verlan
Tu déchire merci
Thank you!
Love this
Je trouve que tu expliques bien le principe du verlan ^^
Merci!;)
Can you do a video about flirting in French ?
In English we say "got" a lot for "have" so "you got any...?" is this a thing in french? or would you still just say "tu a de..."?
LoooOOOoooVeee it !
Dope...helpful 2, tnx
Meuf = femme = go = gadjy etc...
Vas-y has many meanings. You could also say « vas-y on y va » which means allons-y.
Fais dodo is also used when people fight, when someone ends up on the floor K.O. 😅😂
Otherwise it's GREAT ! Excellent information.
Faz um assim de português brasileiro também! Quero ver as gírias que vc sabe! XD
love these! oh la la nanani nanana... MDR!
?? As a french I've never heard "vas-y" as "see ya" ! It just sounds weird in this situation. And "bouffer" is almost never used in sentences like "J'ai beaucoup bouffé", "j'ai trop (or beaucoup) mangé" is said instead.
Nanani nanana is the the translation for yadayadayada in english lol
mec is even used in canada
Mytho = compulsive liar not myth.
We also use LOL in French. MDR is like the equivalent of LMAO.
Coup de coeur is not a slang, it's an actual French expression.
Meuf/Mec is not pejorative in terms of relationship. It's just an informal way of referring to your boyfriend of girlfriend. It's like "my girl" or "my man"/ "my dude".
Fadelita just shut the fuck up, she’s right on all the words, and even if « coup de coeur » is not a slang, she explained that really good, for mec or meuf, she is more right than you, then for MDR, she is totally right, LMAO is not the same meaning. Stop to write comments like that on a good video like this...
@@RobinTr11 c'est quoi ton problème mdrr, Fadelita a totalement raison d'écrire ce commentaire, il y avait rien de méchant , elle juste corriger des choses qui pourrait même être utile pour la fille de la vidéo...
Thanks for sharing these slangs
Just a note Please Don't start the music when we actually need to hear you pronounce the words, like in transitions, outro or intro is fine
Good video tho keep it up
I love your videos ❤️
