3-5 words game/french version
 
Je quitte pour Paris aujourd'hui..

sheila Mar 22nd, 2004 11:20 AM

(In danger of being a pedant, but don't you think that should be partir rather than quitter?)

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:24 AM

afin de visiter mon amour.

caribtraveler Mar 22nd, 2004 11:24 AM

"quitte" is not incorrect in this instance.

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:25 AM

Sorry, this is bad French.

Make the visiter "rencontrer." I'd have to use "rendre visite a" for a person but that'll exceed the number of words.

SoBeTraveller Mar 22nd, 2004 11:26 AM

ooh la la

caribtraveler Mar 22nd, 2004 11:26 AM

or you could say "pour voir mon amour"

grimmy Mar 22nd, 2004 11:30 AM

Il est tres amusant...

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:30 AM

I'm trying to get some practice using "afin de, alors que, moins que, afin que," etc. You get the idea. :-)

Ok, I'll write another five words:

"Elle, un coureur de slips"

Underhill Mar 22nd, 2004 11:32 AM

Okay--I'll bite: how does the game work?

caribtraveler Mar 22nd, 2004 11:33 AM

et tres romantique...
don't get the "elle, un coureur de slips" or is it just me?

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:37 AM

"coureur de jupons" = "womanizer" (literally, a "runner of underskirts"). I just decided to have a little word play here -- not sure if the French would find this kosher ("slips" = "underwear").

Underhill: Nous essayons raconter une histoire en francais en utilisant trois, quartre ou cinq mots francais, si ca vous amuse.

grimmy Mar 22nd, 2004 11:37 AM

I'm confused too!

Il me donne des cadeaux

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:42 AM

Les chocolats sont delicieux.

Underhill Mar 22nd, 2004 11:42 AM

Mon chat français est méchant.

Ça va?

grimmy Mar 22nd, 2004 11:44 AM

Mais mon chat Anglais est..

Underhill Mar 22nd, 2004 11:45 AM

Vôtre chat anglais est quoi?

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:49 AM

Il est gentil.

111op Mar 22nd, 2004 11:50 AM

Mais ils se detestent, comme . . .

grimmy Mar 22nd, 2004 11:50 AM

Il est trop gros..
