Chancer Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 [quote user="LN"]Hi! Thanks you, I don't know what is the middle age here![/quote] I used to make a similar mistake in French when replying to the frequently asked question "why did you leave England", I would say that it was "une crise de moyen age" instead of "une crise de la quarantaine" [:D] Trouble was, and still is that people wont correct me, I have learned to recognise the bemused look but I was saying for several years that I had had a middle ages crisis [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yes, LN, I bet you haven't seen a wild elephant in your region for years and years because they have all been killed off. So sad not to see herds roaming the Haute Savoie any more.Any other question would have been banal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 But all the standard questions are so unnecessary. Anyway, we don't ask them.Maybe I should ask LN what her favourite food is, how often she eats it and is she, like most French ladies of my acquaintance, on a diet?
