It literally means “how does it go”, but we would more likely say “how's it going?” There's a pretty standard response in that most people will respond “ça va” or “ça va bien” meaning “it's going well”, just like in English we usually say we're fine.
— Yeah, I'm fine, and you? If someone asks you how you're doing with Tu vas bien/vous allez bien (You're doing well), a great answer is Oui, je vais bien, et toi/vous ? (Yeah, I'm fine, and you?).
The following responses are polite enough for a new acquaintance, but general enough for a good friend, too: Très bien, merci. Very well, thank you. Je vais bien, merci.
How are you? — I'm fine.
je-sais-tout m (plural je-sais-tout) (informal) know-it-all, smart aleck.
3 - How to forgive someone in French
Let's say someone told you “Pardon”, “Excuse-moi” or “Je suis désolé.” How can you react? What should you say? Well, the easiest answer is Ça ne fait rien (= that's nothing).
Très bien ! : Good! Very good!
If someone says Ca va?, you can answer oui (yes) or simply et toi? (And you?). It might sound rude (hey, it might even be rude), but people do it all the time.
So to say “hello, how are you?” in French, simply say bonjour, ça va? or salut, ça va? If someone says this to you, you can respond with ça va bien (“it's going well”) or tout va bien (“everything's going well”). In Quebec, you'll often hear “not bad” as the response: pas pire, which literally means “no worse”.
The answer is that “Yo tambien.” (también) means: “Me too” or “Me also”.
Friendly: Tu vas bien ? This phrase is just like “Vous allez bien ?” but the casual form. It means “Are you well?” but is phrased the way you'd ask someone you already know, or someone much younger than you (e.g. if you're talking to someone young enough to be your child).
(informal) how are you.
Merci Beaucoup – Thank you very much
You can reply to this phrase by saying De rien (You are welcome), if it's an informal engagement, or Je vous en prie (You are welcome), in a formal setting.
The usual response to merci is de rien (You're welcome – literally, It's nothing) or il n'y a pas de quoi. In a more formal context, you could say Je vous en prie or Je t'en prie.
While we might say “pardon” in English if we haven't heard something correctly or if we're pretending to be fancy, in French, pardon is more commonly used to say “excuse me” if you are in a busy place or a packed metro.
In French, je ne sais quoi literally means "I don't know what." It's used to capture an indescribable, special distinguishing feature, or to name some unnamable quality. You could say, for example, "Ms. McMane's English class isn't like any other class I've taken — it has a certain je ne sais quoi."
I don't know.
I often hear "Je suis bien" which is a word for word translation of the English "I'm fine". The answer "Je suis bien" is not correct. The correct answer is "Je vais bien" or "Je ne vais pas bien".
Definition: (baby talk) - sleepy time, beddy-bye. Je vais faire dodo - I'm going beddy-bye (I'm going to sleep) Au dodo ! - Sleepy time!
