Or "Nous y pensons avec impatience depuis des semaines" (W'eve been looking forward to it for weeks).Best Regards,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teejay Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 >How do you say in French >that you are 'looking forward' >to going to the cinema, >out for a meal etc. >Another way of saying that you are looking forward to doing something is... etre impatient de faire quelque chose, or if you are looking forward to going to the cinema..... etre impatient d'aller au cinema. And yet another way....Ca ne tarde d'aller au cinema. (Ca ne tarde d'aller manger).Forgive the lack of accents. Not only am I a novice in the language but I just can't seem to get the hang of these accents on a PC.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenderlady Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 You can say 'je languis de...' if it's something you've been looking forward to for a long time or really need, such as 'je languis de mes vacances!'It evokes more of a 'longing for'.
