Comment ça va? â How are things?
Whether youâre going to be working in a French-speaking country or youâre going to spend some time with your French-speaking friends, youâll want to be able to chat with people and get to know them better. The phrases in this unit will help you talk naturally to friends, family and colleagues in a number of everyday situations.
GREETINGS
Just as in English, there are several ways of greeting people in French, depending on who you are addressing, and whether you want to be formal or not. Say bonjour, madame/mademoiselle/monsieur if you want to sound polite and just bonjour to someone you know a little. If youâre on friendly terms with someone, you can say salut! (hi!).
HelloâŠ
Bonjour. | Hello. |
Bonjour, madame. | Good morning. |
Bonjour, Pierre. | Good afternoon Pierre. |
Salut, Olivier! | Hi Olivier! |
Bonsoir. | Good evening. |
BON Ă SAVOIR!
In French there is no equivalent for good morning and good afternoon â people just say bonjour during the day or bonsoir in the evening.
Use au revoir, madame/mademoiselle/monsieur to say goodbye to people you donât know well. You can just say au revoir to people you know, or use salut! (bye!) if you are on friendly terms with them.
GoodbyeâŠ
Au revoir, monsieur. | Goodbye. |
Au revoir, mademoiselle. | Goodbye. |
Salut! | Bye! |
Bonsoir. | Goodnight. |
See youâŠ
Ă plus tard! | See you later! |
Ă demain! | See you tomorrow! |
Ă lundi! | See you on Monday! |

Voici mon mari, Richard. | This is my husband, Richard. |

Je vous prĂ©sente Danielle. | Iâd like you to meet Danielle. |
Je te prĂ©sente Kevin, mon compagnon. | Iâd like you to meet Kevin, my partner. |
