What does the French phrase 'tout alors' mean in English?

Answer 1

== == Well, it means 'All, then', which you will agree means nothing at all. What you've probably heard is 'Zut alors', which means 'Oh, bother', or 'dearie me' or possibly something a little stronger. Or you may have heard 'À tout à l'heure', which is roughly translated 'see you soon'. It basically means see you later.

Answer 2

The phrase 'a toute a l'heure' contains a misspelling. The word 'toute' needs to be written 'tout'. The corrected phrase 'a tout a l'heure' means [See you] soon. In the word-by-word translation, the preposition 'a' means 'to'. The noun 'tout' means 'all, everybody, everyone, everything'. The definite article 'la'* means 'the'. And the noun 'heure' means 'hour'.

*The article 'la' drops the letter 'e' before a word that begins with a non-aspirated vowel.

Answer 3

The phrase 'a tout de suite' contains an error. For there's no need to begin the phrase with 'a'. The correct phrase, 'tout de suite', means at once, straight away. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'tout' means 'all'. The preposition 'de' means 'from, of'. And the noun 'suite' means 'the rest'.

Answer 4

The phrase 'tout a l'heure' means in a little while, shortly. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'tout' means 'all, everything'. The preposition 'a' means 'to'. The definite article 'le'* means 'the'. And the noun 'heure' means 'hour, time'. *The letter 'e' drops in front of a word that begins with a vowel or an unaspirated 'h'.

Answer 5

"A tout à l'heure" means "see you later" in French.

It means see you within the hour in French
