How do I answer my name in French?
Je m'appelle…
You can reply in this way in most any situation, but the usual way in France to ask someone new their name is Comment vous appelez-vous? which literally asks them what they call themselves. So the reply of "je m'appelle" is a perfect response as "je" means "I," "m'" is "myself," and "appele" is "to call."
Comment vous appelez-vous ? (“What's your name?” formal) Comment tu t'appelles ? (Also “what's your name?” but informal)
You could also say je suis… (I am…) and then your name. In return, it's always polite to ask for the other person's name. Remember to think about whether the formal or informal version of the question is more appropriate.
You can either reply saying "Bonjour" back or you could say "salut" which also means hello but in an informal way.
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.
Je suis [first name]
For example, if your name is Jennifer, you would say “je suis Jennifer.” This phrase can be used in both formal and informal settings. In fact, it's one of the most common ways for people to introduce themselves in French.
ça va bien things are going well.
How old are you? (formal) – Quel âge avez-vous?
Some proper ways to respond to ça va? include, “Très bien, et vous ?” or in a more casual setting, “Ça va bien, et toi ?” But you can also respond with a simple “ça va,” which means you're doing fine.
Can I say je suis bien?
"Je vais bien" or "je me sens bien" means you feel good, but "je suis bien" doesn't really mean much by itself. And if you say "je suis mal", it doesn't really mean "I feel bad", and it doesn't mean "I'm a bad person" like in English either, it's usually more like, "I'm in a difficult situation".
je suis né(e) : I was bornnaître, passé composé
Translation of "Moi, je m'appelle" in English. My name is. I'm. my name's.
Most of you know the formal expression “bonjour”, and you should since it's the most common way to greet someone in French. We use it to greet people in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. “Bonjour” is always polite, and works in any situation.
Translation of "comment ça va" in English. Adverb. how are you. how is it going. how's everything.
It doesn't matter if you're getting on a bus or greeting the doctor's receptionist, you must say “Bonjour”. Otherwise, they'll think you have no manners, are rude, and are badly brought up.
To respond, you can repeat “bonne journée” back, or simply say “[à] toi aussi!” or “[à] vous aussi!” – “[to] you too!”. Merci, bonne journée ! / À vous aussi, bonne journée. – Thank you, have a good day! / You too, have a good day.
very well, sir. Très bien, Monsieur. Merci. Very well, sir, thank you.
As with English, French people tend to reply to Ça va? with a positive response – Bien, or Bien, merci – much the same way as we would use fine in English. 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.
Translation of "Je suis belle" in English. I'm beautiful I am beautiful I'm pretty. I look good.
How do you shorten Je suis?
Chuis, short for Je suis = “I am” Cki, short for C'est qui = “Who dis”; “Who is this”
Ça va is an informal expression that can be literally translated to “is it going” (third-person singular of the indicative verb “to go”). It should mainly be used in informal conversations. In conversations with friends and family, using ça va is perfectly acceptable and extremely common.
Responses to “Ça va?” can therefore be very superficial, or can get into actual details of how things are really going. For the easiest replies we just repeat the statements in the affirmative: “Ça va”, “Oui, ça va” or “Ça va bien, merci”.
Other Uses. Ça va plus an infinitive can mean simply "it will." This construction can be useful when you're speaking about something that will occur, but you don't know precisely when. For instance: Ça va venir / It'll happen, it will come.
au revoir ! ⧫ salut ! bye bye au revoir ! ⧫ salut !
