Transcript of the Video Lesson on French Exclamations
OH LÀ LÀ !
WOUAH !
QUOI !
COMMENT !
PUTAIN !
AH MERDE !
OH LE CON !
Salut !
Yeah, the mood is set ! In this video we’re focusing on feelings and more feelings ! Because that’s what exclamations allow you to express : a strong emotional reaction to something or someone. They’re obviously very important in letting the steam out ! So, let’s master them and observe their structures when needed – so that you reproduce the pattern of course !
I’ve started with introductory exclamations that don’t need to be broken down really in terms of the structure. They’re just words for you to learn. Here are some more ! You’ll see that some of them include a noun and an article, and sometimes an adjective too!
NON !
SI !
OH PUTAIN LE BEAU MEC !
OH LE PORC!
OH LA LOSE !
OH LÀ LÀ !
Some exclamations just have a subject and a verb, and they allow you to express indignation scepticism, or outrage when confronted with an impossible situation… Am I being carried away ?
TU DÉRAILLES !
TU VEUX RIRE !
TU PLAISANTES !
J’HALLUCINE !
J’Y CROIS PAS !
Example of a situation where exclamations may very well come up :
A: IL M’A POSÉ UN LAPIN.
B: NON, J’Y CROIS PAS.
A: BEN SI. J’HALLUCINE.
Let’s continue with other simple types of exclamations. Just one adjective to let out the excitement !
SUPER !
CHOUETTE !
HORRIBLE !
BLUFFANT !
And you can start these sames little phrases with French « it is », C’EST…
C’EST SUPER !
C’EST CHOUETTE!
C’EST HORRIBLE !
C’EST BLUFFANT !
You can even add QU’EST-CE QUE in front of all that…
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST SUPER !
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST CHOUETTE !
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST HORRIBLE !
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST BLUFFANT !
In a familiar context, we’ll also have the option of using the little word TROP in an exclamation :
TROP BEAU ! Or C’EST TROP BEAU !
TROP CHELOU ! / C’EST TROP CHELOU !
Here are more familiar expressions with simple structures for you to learn:
COMME C’EST DOMMAGE ! – What a shame it iss
COMME C’EST GENTIL ! – How kind it is !
COMME C’EST GENTIL DE SA PART ! – How kind of his !
COMME C’EST MALIN ! – How cunning !
Then you’ve got exclamations with QUELLE followed by a feminine noun :
QUELLE CHALEUR ! – How hot it is!
QUELLE IDÉE ! – What a strange idea!
QUELLE DRÔLE D’IDÉE ! – What a funny idea!
QUELLE CHANCE ! – How lucky!
QUELLE POISSE ! – Such bad luck!
And exclamations with QUEL and a masculine noun :
QUEL FROID ! – Such cold!
QUEL NASE ! – What a lame guy!
QUEL MEC CANON ! – What a hot guy!
QUEL AMI SERVIABLE ! – What a helpful friend!
And in the plural for, you can have :
QUELS AMIS SERVIABLES ! – What helpful friends!
QUELLES DRÔLES D’IDÉES ! – What funny ideas!
Then you can have QUE DE to translate SO MUCH, and which is followed by whatever it is you’re overwhelmed by…
QUE DE BONHEUR !
QUE D’AMOUR !
QUE DE CONNERIES, OUI !
Next, you can have exclamations starting with QUE + A SUBJECT + A VERB. Let’s give it a go :
QU’IL EST NASE CE MEC, FRANCHEMENT !
QU’IL FAIT CHAUD !
QU’IL FAIT BEAU !
QUE ÇA SENT BON ICI ! C’EST VOUS ?
And here again, you can also add QU’EST-CE QUE at the beginning of your exclamation, so that you’ll have :
QU’EST-CE QU’IL EST NASE CE MEC, FRANCHEMENT !
QU’EST-CE QU’IL FAIT CHAUD !
QU’EST-CE QU’IL FAIT BEAU !
QU’EST-CE QUE ÇA SENT BON ICI ! C’EST VOUS ? –
VOILÀ VOILÀ, LES AMIS. EXCLAMEZ-VOUS ! Express your excitement in French, now that you know how to ! What did I just hear ?
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST DUR LE FRANÇAIS ! – How difficult French is!
FOUTAISES ! – Nonsense!
Stay positively excited guys, it always help to learn!
QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST COOL D’APPRENDRE LE FRANÇAIS ! – How cool it is to be learning French!
BEN SUPER ! À PLUS !
