saupoudré de bonne humeur !

[loyo85]

Hi !

How would you say, describing a show, "le tout saupoudré de bonne humeur" ? This is full of imagery, and I'm afraid a literal translation in English wouldn't be clear, for example "sprinkled with good humour"...
Any suggestion please !!

 

[constantlyconfused]

I think sprinkled is pretty good

suffused with?
or change it completely and say something "it oozed good humour throughout"

well, I looked up "to ooze" in the dictionnary, don't you think that it's a bit negative, not very inviting ? I'm supposed to make people come to the show
thanks anyway

Do you have an entire sentence, please?

I'm surprised at your reply, constantlyconfused, because bonne humeur = good mood while bon humour = good humour. Maybe it won't change your opinion though.

Of course, you're right - I was only thinking about the verb... honestly...

Okay, if you don't like 'ooze' (and 'she oozed sexuality' is hardly negative!) how about "it was a fun-filled show"

a bit bland, in my opinion, but accurate enough.

About "bonne humeur", I thought that you would say "good mood" for a person, but "good humour" for an atmosphere... what do you think ?
