chat Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Salut!Well, I am a newbie here. I have been taking French for about two years now with the goal of becoming fluent. I hope I am not the only one who doesn't know French here. I figured this forum could really help me learn French.I have two questions that I have never gotten straight, but I come across all the time.When abbreviating Madame, is it Mme. or Mme without the period?Also, do "mais oui" and "Bien sûr" both mean "of course?Thanks for your help.Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

Dick Smith Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 In my humble (and questionable) opinion:MmeBoth can mean 'of course' but bien sûr is more emphatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Salut c'est moi, and welcome! I tried to quote something in your post, but the apostrophe in your user name won't let me. The forum software gets confused by when it tries to deal with things like ' ( " or )Would you consider changing you forum name a little, to make life easier for other usersYour atavar is just like mine, only better. Much much betterOh well, new year new atavar for me then. Too bad, I was fond of my kitty-cat [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
