Here are a few useful phrases when travelling in a French country: # Hello - Bonjour # How are you? - Comment ca va? # Can you help me? - Pouvez vous m'aider? # Where can I find ...? - Ou se trouve le ...? # Do you speak English? - Parlez vous l'anglais? # Turn right - Tournez a droite # Turn left - Tournez a gauche # Straight Ahead - Continuez tout droit # How much does it cost? - Combien ca coute? # Where is the Eiffel Tower? - Pouvez vous m'indiquez ou se trouve la Tour Eiffel? # Kisses! - Bisous! # You are so beautiful - Vous etes tellement belle! There is one word that cannot be translated to any languages that only appears in the french language, the french use it to express a feeling of discontentement. The word is 'HOOnnnnn Olala'. When travelling to France, it is important to abide by strict rules of politeness. You should make sure to put in some of these words into your sentences: # Please - S'il vous plait # Thank You - Merci # Excuse me - Excusez moi # Sorry - Pardon # Good Day - Bonjour # Hello - Salut # Mrs/Miss/Mr - Madame/Mademoiselle/Monsieur # Bye Bye - Au revoir So for example, if you want to ask to a french person: 'Where is the bus station?' you should say: 'Bonjour, excuser-moi, merci, pardon madamme ou est la Gare s'il vous plait?'. Which translates to 'Hello, excuze me, thank you, sorry, Miss where is the bus station please?'. To say 'Thank you' you would respond by 'Ah Merci. Merci beaucoup. Merci a vous! Au revoir Madame! Bonne journee!'. Which literrarly translates to 'O! Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you to you! See you later Mam! Have a nice day!'. There will be times where you will find yourself in a delicate situation. Here is a demontration. 'Bonjour! Ou es la gare s'il vous plait?'. You could end up with an answer such as: 'Ah oui la gare, c'est tres simple....'. In this case you just answer: 'Merci!'. And you ask the question to someone else ;-) You should know, that a french 'Bonjour' is always companied by the two cheek air kiss. Here is a demonstration. 'O! Bonjour Veronique!'/'Salut Sarah! Comment ca va?' kiss+kiss. From WikiAnswers.com, we wish you a pleasant trip to the land of the Hellos and goodbyes that never end. 'Bye! Au Revoir! Bisous! Merci! Salut! Merci encore! A plus tard! Merci! A tout a l'heure!'
