Useful+Expressions



This page is to collect those little expressions you need when ... well, when you are confused but want to sound sophisticated in your confusion! Can you please repeat, how do you say, I'm sorry I don't understand: knowing these and other expressions in French will allow you to ask for clarification without stuttering :) We'll also add lines for when you want to clarify yourself (in other words, what I'm trying to say, etc) Eli Corne will lead out on this lesson but after that, add expressions as you think of them!

Sorry, I dont understand - Désolé(e), je ne comprends pas. Can you repeat please? - Répétez s'il vous plait What time is it? - Quelle heure est-il? How do you say in French? - comment dit-on en français? Slow down, please- plus lentement, s'il vous plaît What does mean? - Qu'est-ce que ___ veut dire? /Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire,__ _? Excuse me? Pardon? Excuse-moi? May I go to the bathroom/drink water? Puis-j'aller aux toilettes? Puis-j'aller boire de l'eau What is that? Qu'est-ce que c'est?
