How do you say shut your face in French?

"Fermez la bouche!" (pronounced FER-meh lah BOOSH) is the popular way of saying "Shut up." Literally it means, "Shut the mouth." You don't say "your" when describing one's body parts. For "shut your face" you would say "Fermez le visage!" (pronounced FER-meh luh vee-SAHZH) but it may be mistranslated by a french speaker as idiocy.

Also, "ta gueule !"

How do you say who is 40 years old in French?

To ask the question "who is 40 years old" you can say, Qui a quarante ans? When talking about age you use "avoir" which means "to have" so really you are saying "who has 40 years" to English speakers like us it's very strange. Hope that helps. Here are some other age statements and questions: How old are you? Combien des ans avez-vous? I am (age here). J'ai _______ He/She is (age) Il/Elle a _____ Is he/she eleven? a-t*-il/elle onze ans? *The "t" is only there to make the sentence flow better in speach. Hope that helps! :) Elizabeth
