Salut!
(other words i didn't understand)
Nah Sova, French is less complicated than u might think:
first u should watch out for key-words that everyone uses and have at least 1000 different meanings - depending on the articulation and situation in that they were used. The three most inalienable words are:
Bon, Boff and Baguette.Bon - answering in monosyllables sometimes is worth a thousand words. "
Bon" not just embody the simple verbalism "good" but encloses the whole french attitude to life what they might call there the "
joie de vivre". U had a good meal, well - it was "
bon". U got low cost clothes - that's "
bon marché". U're strong and healthy - u've a "
bon dos". U see sova a simple "
bon" might be enough to do "
bon ménage" with ur french friends. But now pay attention! Like well-known from the asian languages the right intonation can enhance goodwill as well as raising hackles: a short squeezed "
bon", bred unimposing and sharp-tongued, phrases rejection and subservience whereas the melodic version with the loooong "ooo" and even longer "nnnnnn" [speak: ngngngng] shows gushy euphoria and love. Last-mentioned can be often observed while eating baguettes or cater wine by talking about the "
bon vieux temps".
Boff - a monosyllable as well, the little "
boff" has to be understood in a metaphorical way: not just "
boff" but "
boff" [bofffffffffpfffpffff] or "
boff" [buff; speak as high as u can]. Didn't get the difference? Watch this: u're sitting on the Seine's banks, eating a big baguette. Since one an a half meter (what's medium size) are to big for ur untrained mouth (real French actually put them diagonally in their mouth) u break it in half. Since u live in Israel u should know that breaking bread contains somehow something spiritual, but that has nothing on the meaning there: what u did is u made one baguette two and thats really worth a surprised "
boff" [-pfpfpfpffffff] which take their hats off to u - for 30 secs...then us did what u never should do: u cut the holy bread in two halves and put chester, sausages and black pudding on it - treachery! A hushed but intensive "boff" [buff, sounds as it looks like] shows that u're no more welcome in this country. Last but not least they combinate the "
bon" with the "
boff" and wish u bb.
Baguette - christs have the bible, jews the tora, muslims the quran, French the baguette. The baguette is not only a long bap, but symbolizes the values the French fight for in 1789:
liberté, égalité, fraternité. Standing in front of the kings troops in Versailles, knowing that time is ripe for Revolution, they noticed suddenly that they, disadvantagly, had no weapons and puzzeled in the mizzle. Since they had absolutely nothing but baguettes, they produced over a million in just one night, put them outside overnight and had adamant weapons to fight Louis who finally lost his head by a bread. So the baguette became the most important status symbol in France: "Yours is only 2 metres - hah mine is 5." Street-competitions like those often end in "baguette-comparisons". On July 14th, the national holiday in France, the whole nation gathers in front of their tv's to watch the annual "baguette-day", what the Dutch later copied with dominos. The original recipe is top-secret and bequeathed from generation to generation. It's just made by string together baps like people are rumouring or filling the dough into long socks that get cooked - a riddle wrapped up in an enigma.
From bon to boff to baguette - u see Sova, French is much more than learning vocabularies but also knowing how to use it. However u don't need much words to get an access to the language - just use those three words, mix it, watch for intonation and people won't catch u as non-French.
Bon courage!
