I know that the French version of "lol" (laughing out loud) is "mdr" (mort de rire). What are other typical contractions that I might find in French comments?

[@AlecWilcosky]

ptdr = péter de rire / lmao bcp = beaucoup/ a lot c = c'est / it's t = t'es / you're jsp = je sais pas / idk A+ ou @+ = A plus / Cya later d'acc ou dak = d'accord / okay tkt ou tqt = [Ne] t'inquiètes [pas] / don't worry

Thank you so much for this video. It’s very interesting and yes, definitely make one (if you can) about computers. I think these kind of videos where you talk about common words in a specific topic are very helpful.

ah yeah I'll try to think about some other examples and see if I can make a video ^^

[@archanagollerkeri5621]

Yes, it would totally be great if you did more of the texting vocab. Thanks for this video! Also, if you could clarify. When two friends are done talking on a call, how do you say "bye". The informal bye. I've heard Salut, a demain, a plus and stuff but can we also say au revoir , or is it something y'all say only when you're not seeing or don't know when you'll be seeing or talking to the person next, like a goodbye?

[@Street_French]

ah first check out this, I've made that video already :) French Text Messages Vocabulary : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnm3eZt9oJaqgZI and to say goodbye we say all of those : salut, bye, etc... "au revoir" is too formal between friends, especially around my age.

[@archanagollerkeri5621]

@@Street_French Thank you so much, you are too sweet to reply! I have already watched that texting vocab video, and even shared it. Love your content!

[@krisbullock]

I would like to see a video on computers and internet. I work in Information Technology and that vocabulary would be great to learn.

ah cool I'll do that! feel free to give me some examples here, even of sentences you have in mind. it'd be really helpful! :)

[@krisbullock]

@@Street_French Hmm, I'll try not to get too far into the tech deep-end. But some common words and phrases that might be useful are: "router" "Mac" "PC" "Windows" "Laptop" "Desktop" "Tablet" "Mouse" "Keyboard" "Monitor" "Reset your router" "Network" "Server" "Bluetooth" "The Cloud" "Hard Drive" "USB" "Printer" "iPhone" "Android" "AntiVirus Software"

[@ExcuseMeMAM12]

À noter - on dit "télécharger" pour "to download" et également pour "to upload"

[@Street_French]

c'est vrai, mais techniquement le bon mot c'est "téléviser" pour upload. Mais les gens ne l'utilise pas vraiment dans la vie

[@raco1246]

Download et upload c'est le même ? Télécharger ?

[@timdiggle5090]

C'était bien utile ton video - y'avait pas de résaux sociaux quand j'habitais La France pendant les années '70! Et, bien sur, j'aimerais bien voir un video pareil au sujet des ordinateurs. J'ai remarqué que t'as dit «streetfrench dot org » mais j'ai entendu souvent «point » au lieu de «dot » quand on parle d'une site du web - mais cette experience est parmi mes contemporains aux Pyrénées Atlantique plutot que la jeunesse doré de Paris ! Est-ce que je dois m'entrainer désormais de dire «dot » ?

[@Street_French]

ah non en français c'est "point com ou point org" mais je parlais en anglais c'est pour ça que j'ai dit "dot"

[@rugoshath]

[@nataliaguzman3687]

Merci bcp, comment on dit "upload"? Your videos are so helpful!!

ah thanks! ah yeah I forgot to say it, it's "téléverser" or "mettre en ligne". and sometimes, more rarely, you can hear people say "uploader"

[@assiatouati6970]

Bonjour , je trouve ton contenu très bénéfique .merci il m'aide beaucoup surtt psk j ai un niveau intermédiaire et je veux aller plus loin que ça . Juste une question comment dire : scrolling up ?

[@Street_French]

ah cool merci pour le commentaire ! sometimes we use the word "scroll" and make it a verb : "scroller" but you can also say "faire défiler"

[@curtiscurry5775]

Great video as always! Question: I feel like I’m struggling to understand when it’s more appropriate to use nous vs. on. Are they interchangeable or are there times when on is more appropriate than nous? P. S. I apologize if there’s already a video on this topic haha

[@curtiscurry5775]

Par example, nous avons des appli vs on a des appli

[@Street_French]

ah so I'll tell you how I use it, knowing I'm a young girl in my thirties from Paris France etc... I ALWAYS say "on", and really quite rarely say "nous". only in formal or professional emails. and if I were to meant the president haha or if I'm speaking with someone who speaks really formally, I would try to match they way of speaking as a form of respect. but yeah if you're around my age, you can almost forget about "nous" in everyday spoken language. not for a professional setting of course^^ Other people speak differently. I'm sure it's different in other parts of France or in Belgium or in Quebec. So it also really depends who you speak French with, where you're learning French.

[@lenatraceroxton1363]

I know this is an old video but if you see this I was just wondering, how would you say a "voice note" in French? Like how on whatsapp (and maybe some other apps) you can send voice messages instead of texts, how would you say that?

[@laynes1232]

Bonjour ! As I was taking notes on your video I noticed 10 of the vocabulary are masculin, and only 3 are féminin. Is it more common for words that trickle down from English get a masculin article or maybe it has to do with the word’s ending usually? If there’s just not explanation for why a French word is masculin or féminin that’s understandable too, just wondered if “new“ French words maybe had a trend. Love your content, I found this video VERY helpful!!

[@Street_French]

ah yeah that's a very good this you noticed. So yeah usually when we use an english word in French it's going to be masculine : un email, un sandwich, un burger, un parking etc....

To say "the chat" (as in Discord or on a Twitch livestream), la causerie or le chat, or are both common? (And yes, I would love more videos about computer/Internet-related vocab!) Merci beaucoup :)

"le tchat" is the most commonly used on twitch. Contrary to "chat" with the drawn out "ch" sound which would only refer to the animal.

Bonjour ! J'ai une petite question : vous n'avez pas de sous-titres en anglais et les sous-titres automatiques de KZbin proposent des mots bizarres quand vous passez aux mots français. Est-ce que ce serait possible d'améliorer cela? Je pense en particulier aux personnes malentendantes :) Merci !

[@Street_French]

ah oui c'est vrai vous avez raison. on va essayer de régler ça à l'avenir :)

[@jordanfabula3137]

7:10 Quick correction: You forgot to add an extra -e to "supprimé" due to the rule about direct object agreement in the passé composé, so the sentence should say "Je l'ai supprimée d'Instagram" 😉 Tu as oublié d'ajouter un -e supplémentaire à "supprimé" en raison de la régle sur l'accord avec l'objet direct dans le passé composé, alors le phrase devrait dire "Je l'ai supprimée d'Instagram" 😉

This was very informative! How would you say 'tweet'? Is it the same word? Like, I wrote a tweet, would be, j'ai écrit un tweet ? Or if I want to say, 'I tweeted her', would it be like, 'je l'ai tweetée' ? Or does that not exist? Merci d'avance !

[@cdaswift9947]

Pour upload, vous utilisez, télécharger aussi non ?

[@ruthnoemibendel]

Oui, mais on peut aussi utiliser "déposer" qui est plus juste pour "to upload". Sinon, on le francise également donc tu peux dire "uploader" et "downloader" et ça se comprend sans problème 😊

This was an interesting video and I would really like it if you made another one that delves into other computer terms. By the way, is there a way in French te-o distinguish between 'upload' and 'download', or are they both just 'télécharger'? What about e-mail, both verb and noun in French; is it "un e-mail" or just "un mail"? What about "courriel"?

[@leberrylibre1]

For upload, i use "upload', like, " j'ai uploadé une vidéo sur youtube", but for download, it's always "télécharger". Email is not formal french, but used a lot, for formal french and writing, i use "courriel"

[@Street_French]

ah yeah I'll talk about it in the second part with "computer vocabulary" but we say "mettre en ligne" sometimes people might say uploader, but not everyone would understand that. and we say mail and email. But rarely courriel. Courriel is more used in Quebec

[@janepappas1032]

Also, if you watch French language channels, if they want you to leave information in the "comment section", they say "Laisser (ça/ ces infos, etc) dans le commentaire".

[@Street_French]

ah yeah that's a good exemple

[@Jemhadar]
