Learn French with Vincent I Questioning and language registers LEARN FRENCH WITH VINCENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6LD5oV2xQI Transkript (automatisch erstellt) 0:00 Bonjour à tous and welcome to learn French with Vincent and this is unité 18 leçon c and in this lesson we'll see together l'interrogation et les 0:13 registres de langue, okay? And more precisely we will cover Okay, so la langue soutenue 0:28 courante et la langue familière. Just because well in most of the cases if you want to ask a question you will have all these 0:37 options so whether it's in a formal situation, an everyday situation, the last one it's spoken and it's really informal so 0:47 I would advise you to know it and maybe not to use it. Okay, so we can start right now and the first question is qui est présent and so 0:57 in that case you can see that it's a normal way of asking a question you will start with qui who est is présent present here, okay? So it's well 1:08 normal question but then of course we can have these two other options as I said so the second one here is the more well common so it's an everyday language 1:20 so qui est-ce qui est présent? And then the last one qui c'est qui est présent, okay? So this one as I said it's really spoken and not formal at all 1:32 so don't use that if you're not sure about the context or the situation or the persons that you are talking with, okay? So I'd rather you I'd rather 1:41 advise you to use the first one or the second one, okay? So qui est présent or then qui est-ce qui est présent. Keep in mind that we tend to use this est-ce que 1:50 est-ce qui, okay? So this is quite oral in that case. Second question so que fais-tu, Okay, so in that case, what do you do? So 2:01 basically, we put the verb first and then after that we will put tu. Okay, so que fais-tu? Uh let's see how it will go if it's not 2:11 as official. So it would go like qu'est-ce que tu fais? Okay, so same thing. We tend to use this est-ce que? We add that. Okay? And the last one, tu 2:21 fais quoi? Okay? So in that case, keep in mind that you should raise your voice at the end just to make 2:29 clear that it's a question. Okay? Then à qui penses-tu? So in that case, it's quite interesting because penser to think. Okay? In that case, to think 2:40 about someone or something should be constructed with the preposition à. So it's coming before à qui penses-tu? Okay? And so if it's less official, then 2:53 you could as usual add this est-ce que? So à qui est-ce que tu penses? Okay? À qui est-ce que tu penses? Okay? And then the less formal, so the 3:07 spoken way, à qui tu penses? Or then tu penses à qui? Okay? So let's see them one more time. Qui est 3:18 présent? Qui est-ce qui est présent? Qui c'est qui est présent? Then que fais-tu? 3:26 And you'll get qu'est-ce que tu fais? Tu fais quoi? À qui penses-tu? À qui est-ce que tu penses? 3:37 À qui tu penses? Tu penses à qui? So let's continue. And then the next question it is 3:46 de quoi parle-t-il? So parler to talk parler de to talk about. So, what is he talking about? De quoi parle-t-il? 3:57 Okay. So, the last formal or the everyday way of saying that is de quoi est-ce qu'il parle? 4:07 Okay, so you can see one more time that we add this est-ce que thing. And then de quoi il parle? Or then il parle de quoi? 4:19 Okay, one more time be careful the last options are really informal. Then avec qui vient-elle? Okay, so venir is 4:29 to come. Venir avec it's to come with. Okay, so avec qui vient-elle? So, it will be like avec qui est-ce 4:40 qu'elle vient? So, one more time we add this est-ce que. Okay. And then avec qui elle vient? Elle vient avec qui? 4:50 All right. >> [snorts] >> À quoi pense-t-elle? So, we know that we saw that penser is to think. Okay, so in 4:58 that case it's not to think about someone but something. So, à quoi pense-t-elle? Okay, and it will become à quoi est-ce 5:07 qu'elle pense? Or then à quoi elle pense? Elle pense à quoi? Okay, so let's see them. And normally 5:16 [snorts] keep in mind that we should, you know, raise your our voice at the end because there are questions. So, I will raise my voice now. De quoi 5:24 parle-t-il? De quoi est-ce qu'il parle? De quoi il parle? Il parle de quoi? 5:33 Avec qui vient-elle? Avec qui est-ce qu'elle vient? Avec qui elle vient? Elle vient avec qui? 5:44 À quoi pense-t-elle? À quoi est-ce qu'elle pense? À 5:54 >> Okay. Few more questions. The first one comment s'appelle-t-il. Okay, remember so 6:02 what is his name comment s'appelle-t-il so that's the correct way to ask the name of someone. So if you want to actually 6:13 well as usual make it less formal will have to use this est-ce que so comment est-ce qu'il s'appelle and then 6:22 the spoken way comment il s'appelle il s'appelle comment. Okay. 6:49 Okay so one more time. And this is it.
