Whats the negative thing in buying coffee ? The French phrase oh là là isn't so much an expression as an interjection. For those of us who are a bit more tolerant the phenomena is interesting, amusing, and even endearing.Thanks for telling me how languages evolve (sorry, there is some sarcasm in the previous statement, it’s not obvious at first), and no I’m not saying that it’s pathetic that languages borrow from other languages, that’s the natural way languages evolve and are alive.Why is trying to fit in or be liked pathetic ? What does ooh la la mean? I never use those terms in English, as they sound dumb to me, but they are occasionally used. C’est emerdant comme vous l’ecrivez, tien!Very informative. I was just pointing out that there are legitimate uses of the expression in English, even if we don’t like the usage (the one in question in this thread, for example) in a certain context.My French friends, young, old, and in-between say “oh là, là !
You can! ” quite often. What I should have said is anglophones don’t tend to appreciate French-style sarcasm and irony, which tends to be very blatant, almost mean-spirited.
Do French people really use the expression “Ooh La La”? Just so you know. It’s human nature.
See, He said He was in …
Maybe a little jab?I haven’t seen the movie, so in the end, I don’t know, but “oh la la, c’est terrible” is something a French person could say, it all depends on how it’s delivered.Remember, the “oh la la” that’s not acceptable is actually “ooh la la” and meaning “it’s cool” or worse than everything “it’s sexy”They say it, yes.
I don’t think that there are many things more pathetic than trying to imitate another poorly known culture in order to try to look cool. She might of just been joking around.
It can indicate surprise, disappointment, commiseration, distress, or annoyance. You can complete the translation of oh la la! given by the French-English Collins dictionary with other dictionaries such as: Wikipedia, Lexilogos, Larousse dictionary, Le Robert, Oxford, Grévisse
Always a pleasure to have readers who can appreciate sarcasm and irony… And as far as my written English is concerned, anyone whose second language is as good as mine is welcome to criticize it as much as they want. She thought that And another important point to keep in mind is that if I hear a French person say “Update: OK, after a few comments vehemently telling me that no, normal (as in “not a prude and not stuck-up) people also say “One final thing.
(That’s a joke. Thanks for enlightening me! Obviously in American usage it’s technically “correct,” but it irritates me to give it a pass.Don’t give it a pass, it would only promote that usage…I’am French, and I say Oh là là when needed! Maybe you’ve been away from France too long, David? And yet, you did nothing to help Americans communicate with their French friends.Well, first of all, this blog is not about teaching French, never was, never will.Like “chier “. No, you should have said “Americans don’t appreciate sarcasm or irony as much as the French.”I know what I wanted to say and I said it.
It would be extremely snobby to deem anyone who uses an expression that originated in another language as “pathetic”.
The Americans I know excel at it, but it’s subtle, like the British. I’m just used to writing on French speaking forums.Socially acceptable, i.e. But I have to comment that the ending of this particular post was a bit harsh, in my opinion. I need to stick to English. It sounds awful!
and thousands of other words. (which is not necessarily where foreigners would put it and not necessarily on the same tone)Well, I think I’m somewhat educated (I don’t want to throw my resume in your face, so you’ll have to trust me with that, let’s say I’m “Bac + beaucoup trop”) and I say “putain” all the time.Sorry, it’s already part of the language.
