plod Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do French sportsmen/women have an idiomatic equivalent of "It's a big ask" and "We're up for it"? And what is the French for a tandem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 [quote user="odile"]je vais en tenir compte avant de continuer notre projet (?)[/quote]Thanks odile. I will use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 tu es le bienvenu. BTW le 'de' in front of a name is not necessarily a sign of 'noblesse' - it can just mean 'from' + place. Bonne chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
