Frenchie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh dear, that's right!! How many times have I tried to explain what it meant to native English speakers ......... [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hm hmm .. well.. right..She says " je t aime, oh oui, je t 'aime" , and, as a typical man, [:D] he can't say " I love you too," or "so do I" ( scaaaared [:)] ), so, ironically, he says " moi non plus" , but it suggests " Me too" .. If you know Gainsbourg's personality, it is very typical of him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Okay thank you Frenchie. Now enfin I get it if it's just Gainsbourg. It's not a general way of being able to say it. Merci! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Neither do I. Just remembered, been there done it, though it was still a bit misty in my mind. It's clearer now. This is also where "a real French virtual person" was born, qui n'est pas très Clair.
