Sa Belle
Bonjour les amis,
Enough is enough, I mean how long a person can hide his/her ignorance about something. You see, you read, you hear and on top of it you hear other people using it and still no shiny stars around your head. So here is a start...
The other day I was reading this advertisement about new restaurant which had brief of the cuisine as well. So keeping with my reputation, with full excitement and cheer I called my friend that sometime we'll visit this restaurant called à la carte, and the response was where did you find/read this? (So what? expected response was 'Cool'). So after some intellectual discussion it turned out that name of the place is different and whatever I understood is to tell customers what is on the menu card. and that turned out to be an alarm for me to improve(build) my french vocab. And here today I started to learn about some cool french words :)
There are some words which are commonly used these days. like 'adieu' from all my colleagues while leaving a job and saying good bye to all.
Out of curiosity I searched the meaning of this word and this is what I found,
Adieu
farewell; as it literally means "to God," it is definitive, implying you will never see the other person again. Depending on the context, misuse of this term can be considered as an insult, as you'll wish for the other person's death or will say that you don't wish to see the other person ever again while alive. ;)
The person who has used it first to communicate 'Good Bye' to his/her boss and colleagues must be real passionate and intense while expressing the feelings.
Anyway as of now even my passion for french is on, will keep demonstrating my skills time to time.
À la vôtre!! Àu revoir!!
