Québécois French

I always hear people say “Learn Parisian French, you’ll be understood in Québec”. While that is true, keep in mind that you also have to understand the Québécois in order to have a conversation with them. So here are some common expressions used in Quebec!

NOTE: Most of these expressions (not the words) are slang and wouldn’t be used in a formal setting. Also, not everyone speaks like this.

English – Parisian/Standard FrenchQuébécois

Move your ass – Tasse-toiAweille

Because – Parce queStacose

Relax – Détends-toi – Camme toé

I’m so tired – Je suis si épuisé – J’cogne des clous

I’m in trouble  – Je suis dans le pétrin – Chu dans marde! 

Right here  – Ici même – Drette là

I tell you – Je te dis – Ch’te dis                      

A lot of problems – Beaucoup de problèmes – Un sio d’marde

Have you ever seen that? – As-tu déjà vu ça? – Tatu d’javusa

She’s crying – Elle pleureA braille

Car – Une voiture Un char

A drink/beverage – Une boisson Un breuvage

Girlfriend – Une petite-amie/copineUne blonde

Boyfriend – Un petit-ami/copainUn chum

Birthday – Un anniversaireune fête

Job – Un boulot Une job

Purse – Un sac à mainUne sacoche

Cell phone – Un portableUn cellulaire

To chat (in person) – Bavarder Jaser

To go shopping – Faire du shoppingMagasiner

To go out and party – Sortir en soiréeFaire le party

To chat online – Chatter sur internetClavarder

Weekend – Un week-endUne fin de semaine

Insect – Un insecteUne bibitte

Running shoes – Des baskets/tennisDes espadrilles

He – Il Y

She – Elle A

Mosquito – Un moustiqueUn maringouin

And here are some examples of sentences you might hear in Quebec (x):

Sérieusement, la politique? J’m’en câlisse comme de l’an 40. Seriously, politics? I don’t give a flying fuck.

Wô minute, là! Tu me niaises? Hold on a minute there! Are you kidding me?

La salle était bondée, y avait full de monde!  The room was full, it was jam-packed with people!

Sors les vidanges, ça sent le diable!  Take out the garbage, it reeks!

Mets ta tuque, y fait frette! Put your hat on, it’s cold out!

Ch’peux-tu ouvrir la télé?  Can I turn the TV on?

J’ai écouté un bon film la semaine dernière.  I watched a good movie last week.

(Yes, you can open a TV and hear a movie. Go figure)

Can we all take a moment for Molly Weasley who knew her family so fucking well, she had “prison” as one of the options on her clock that told her where everyone was.

Well to be fair to Molly: Arthur, regularly tinkered with enchanting muggle things, against the law Bill, curse breaker and tomb raider for private (goblin run) corporation. Almost certainly has raided tombs that the Egyptian MoM and muggle government weren’t happy about. Charlie: illegal dragon smuggler with buddies on the weekends, apparently. Fred and George. Enough said. Ron is best friends with Harry Potter. Harry is always on some Bull Shit. Ginny idolized the Twins growing up. Literally the only person who she doesn’t have to worry about getting arrested on a daily basis is Percy. Who commits treason in the 7th book.

A day they’re not in prison is a day Molly thanks whatever wizard gods there are

more things i’ve discovered after 2 years of raising garden snails:

- they will wiggle their eye stalks in excitement - they have favorite places to sleep and favorite friends to sleep with - they’re good for your skin so let them run around on ur face!!! - they can feel their shells, which means they can feel u pet them (pet gently!!) - u can help a snail with a broken shell by giving it eggshells or cuttlebones to scrape (the calcium helps them patch up!) - they like a change of scenery and will explore all day if u change something - absolute cuddle bugs. love to snuggle with u, with friends, with dirt - u can hear them chew!! listen closely when u feed them….. asmr - as distinct as snowflakes, every single one is different!! i can tell all of my snails apart easily - babies. absolute baby children - speaking of babies, baby garden snails are no bigger than raindrops and translucent… delicate!! keep in a separate enclosure until they’re bigger!! baby jail!!! - some snails are shy……… kiss them. they are important

I went to the farmer’s market yesterday and at the honey guy’s booth and there were all these bees just hangin out.  Checking out the beeswax tabs, floating around the honey jars, not being aggressive, just really gentle and investigating or something

and as he was giving me a sample of the wildflower honey one of them landed on his hand and he just took a drop from the jar and dabbed it on his hand for the bee, and when I asked if they were his bees he said “No, but they show up every time I come out, I think they just know my truck” and this guy is well-known among the local bees and lets them sit on his hand and eat his honey and I just really like the bee guy
