The time-zone confusion was due to the website server currently being located in the States. It is going to be migrated to a datacentre in the UK soon.

Anyway, it has now been adjusted.

Enjoy. 8-)

A little sarcasm JaneEyre, we had 48 cm of snow this week end. For all you english system 48 cm is 18.9 inches.

Nice,nice spring. We almost beaten the snow fall record for Ottawa this year. Almost.... I think its around 425 cm (167.3 inches) of snow the record.

Sorry, that's beyond my French. Ouais = Oui? I think an Asterix book used that spelling, but I don't think he made it to Québec!

Passer du coq à l’âne  : Changer brusquement de sujet dans une conversation de façon confuse.

To abruptly change subject in a conversation in a confused way    Is there any English equivalent?

And Yes Ouais is Oui and I think its used in Belgium like in Quebec.

Apparently "âne" didn't mean "ass" originally, but "ane", a female duck;

So this was one confused cockerel! Isn't language fun ;)

Post by huntr_22 on 15th Mar, 2008 at 10:27pm
It means going from a Cockerel to a Donkey.Like Maxime says : to change the subject quickly.


I do not know if Walloons use "Ouais" as "Yes" as well.

Coq is not coquerel but a rooster. See the link with the  female duck

I do not wish to "couper les cheveux en quatre" Maxime but in English a Cockerel and a Rooster is the same thing!


A Rooster is normally a young Cockerel.

But a Poule in English is called a "Hen".

I think that the problem with this translation is because of the word "Ass" this can also means "Donkey" in English.

We can say "Ouais" in France to.It will mean the same as "Oui" but is not so polite.

I did'nt know that a coquerel was a young Rooster...   Sorry!

Ok, i'll give you something to chew on guys.

"J'va me coucher moins niaiseux a soir"

In Quebec, we do a lot of word contraction to make sentences shorter (orally). I've written it like I would of said it.

Good luck for the translation.  

For help just ask!

Title: Re: Time warp ?
Post by Oldrocker on 17th Mar, 2008 at 5:59pm
Sounds like it could be (despite my poor French) ...

Voulez vous coucher avec moi se soir !! - like the line from that well known song - that I can't remember !!

But probably I'm completely wrong !!

I've no idea what "niaiseux" means  

Title: Re: Time warp ?
Post by huntr_22 on 17th Mar, 2008 at 6:06pm
In French : Je vais me coucher moins niais, à ce soir.


In English : I'm going to bed less naive,see you tonight.





8-)

Title: Re: Time warp ?
Post by ino_100 on 17th Mar, 2008 at 6:12pm
In Quebec we use "niaiseux" for the meaning "Stupid" , "Dumb" and even "Silly".
So naive is not bad. Nice one huntr_22. Nice try oldrocker :P
And we use "a soir" toi say "ce soir" ;) (another little contraction)


In English : I'm going to bed less stupid tonight.

Title: Re: Time warp ?
Post by Paul Strickland on 17th Mar, 2008 at 8:12pm
I'm enjoying this. I learned French by memorising lots of vocabulary and grammar, without having to speak it much - and consequently I am reluctant to engage in conversation :-[ This forum is a non-threatening way to improve. And going to bed less stupid is a great ambition   :)

couper les cheveux en quatre = splitting hairs

Crikey !! This thread has gone adrift somewhat ... interesting as it is, though.

I do know that a 'Poule' (English = 'Hen') is colloquial in French for a younger, 'kept', mistress. ;)

Your right D!  Poule or Poulette   ;D

Its more "European" expression somewhat, but today, with American movies translated in France, we use "slangs" from France, like Poule. But I'm not 100% certain that it does come from France, but I know that France French translated movies does have an impact on our french.

Yup, I think this thread has gone through a worm hole !!!

Anyway I think this is one of my Dad's "urban myth" expressions - ie not true !!

"La derriere cuisine" ... obviously literally "the back kitchen"

But ... does it have another meaning ?

Over to our French & Canadian French speaking forumites !!!

Further to that - birds are used as friendly greetings in various parts of the UK - generally to a female.

Eg in Lincolnshire you'd hear "Are you alright duck ?"
In Glasgow " Yoos ok hen ?"

Any others ?   ;D ;D

I'm not familiar with this expression Oldrocker, I'll take a look on the net. If it does exist, never heard it...
Those english "duck" expressions made me think of Bugs Bunny  :p  


What's up Duck!   ;D

Title: Re: Time warp ?
Post by Oldrocker on 18th Mar, 2008 at 3:49pm
What's up Duck !! - nice one !!  ;D

Supposedly it means "cooking the books"

Meaning alteration of accounts to make the figures add up !!

I reckon it's not a genuine expression ! - a urban myth it is then !! as you've not heard of it & I cannot find anything about it on the net.

Aw well   :-/
