I was wondering ! Hey ! I was wondering if in english-speaking countries like the UK or the USA there were expressions that do not exist if you talk to someone who lives some miles away from you. For example, in the north of France (where I live) when we are planning something with someone else and that we are not quit sure if we can attempt to this particular thing, we will say "je te dis quoi". Litteraly it means "I'll say what to you". As you can see, if you are not familiar with the expression you can easily be surprised ! It does not mean anything !! So one time this happened to me: Thanks to online games I met some friends around the country, friends with whom I met up recently (even if I knew them for 4-5years). One of them lives in the south of france and when we were planning on what we should do and when we will meet up, I said "Ok, je te dis quoi". He was so confused that he answered me "You will say whether you can or can't be there at 9 o'clock !". I was kind of surprised, then when I understood why he had send me this message I laugh hard and I explained the nothern expression to him. Now he is over using this expression :p. A french movie "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis" express this cultural confrontation between a mailman from the north and one from the south of france and I think that there is a similar scene with this expression in it. If you want to hear different french accent, and learn about "the ch'ti" culture (people from the extreme north of France, near Belgium) I do recommend this comedy to you ! :D Thank you for reading my entry !
