Are you asking for a translation of the above?

elina

Maybe I misunderstood... Is it you who wants to ask somebody in French?

AAFrequentFlyer

Thank You. Met a beautiful young lady last night, and this morning this was in my mailbox. Now I can't wait to see her again <BR>Thanks

dannym

hmmm... I'd check the word &quot;baise&quot; again if I were you. It hasn't meant &quot;kiss&quot; for some time in modern parlance.

AAFrequentFlyer

well, can you tell me what it means?

dannym

Four letters and begins with &quot;f&quot;. But then the author of the email is clearly not French, so maybe doesn't know herself. <BR><BR>Good luck!

elina

Huh, Danny. I never knew it means also something else than kiss. I just checked from the dictionary, and it said <BR><BR>1) kiss<BR>2) three words all meaning f... (and all three considered obscene in my language).<BR><BR>I stick to my translation. She wants to kiss you. Lets not go too fast...

elina

And there was also <BR><BR>3) to cheat<BR><BR>Baiser is the only word I know for kissing. If it is nowadays pass�, what is the modern verb?<BR><BR>My dictionary is only French-Finnish, so I cannot check it from there.

dannym

you'd say &quot;je veux t'embrasser&quot;. Really, if you said &quot;baiser&quot; in French they'd laugh at you or consider you rather forward.

elina

LOL, Danny! OK, now I realize that I knew embrasser, it is just that my French is getting so rusty. But because it is obvious that also that girl�s French is rusty, I still go for kissing.

They are not perfect, but there are many translation websites that will get you the general idea. Among them, http://www.free-translator.com/

I think it's clear she doesn't know French because vocabulary and tenses are wrong (sentence 2 doesn't make any sense to me). However, who knows what she meant, as &quot;baise&quot; isn't a noun anyway, the noun for kiss is &quot;baiser&quot;, although not used that way anymore, as noted. <BR><BR>They are other slang words for kiss I use, such as bisou or bise. I don't use embrasser except as a verb.

Make sure to find out the going rate before making the date. I'm sure she is a professional and you would not want to insult her.<BR><BR>

My French friends use bise, as for baise, there was a sexually violent French film last year called baissez-moi<BR>'that's when I learned that I should not use that word for kiss.

Cigalechanta, I think the title of the movie was &quot;Baise-moi&quot;and baise as 2nd person, singular + a different verb (not baisser = to lower.).

hike

And as mm said she does sound like a professional. But definitely not a French professional.

Can I offer my understanding that I learned from my 25 year old host sister?<BR><BR>In current slang between the teen/20-somethings &quot;baiser&quot; means to f***.
