La paix = Hush up or Lemme alone
La ferme = Zip it or Shut up
Tu parles! = Whatever or Get out of here
Alors = So (what)


I'd love to know if there is an equivalent for "Bite me".

 

[Stephanagreg]

I'd love to know if there is an equivalent for "Bite me".

Perhaps "Va te faire voir!"

 

[beri]

attention:
remarque, pas de quoi, bite me, la paix, la ferme, tu parles, alors
ne sont pas des interjections

 

[KittyCatty]

Je ne sais pas si mes traductions seront correctes, mais j'essayerai
errr or erm = ben?? (on hésite)
you know/ y'know = tu sais??
oh my god = oh mon dieu
like = sais pas, ce mot est utilisé partout dans leurs diologues, les jeunes
e.g. it was, like, an amazing trip. le mot ne veux dire rien. c'est juste là.
Voila, mes efforts!

[KittyCatty]

wow/ ouah that's really good tresley! do you know if there's an equivalent for the filler word 'like' or is that just an american/english thing?

 

[lizd64]

like = sais pas, ce mot est utilisé partout dans leurs diologues, les jeunes

like -> tu sais, souvent abbrégé en t'sais (tic de langage qui traduit d'après moi très bien à 'like' dans ce sens là)

 

[gretchen]

I think "quoi" would be a quasi-equivalent of "like" as used where I'm from, i.e. stuck at the end of phrases without any particular meaning... vous voyez ce que je veux dire quoi?

 

[Nicomon]

Au Québec, pour like, les ados disent "comme", simplement. Enfin jusqu'à récemment...
