As with English, French people tend to reply to Ça va? with a positive response – Bien, or Bien, merci – much the same way as we would use fine in English. The following responses are polite enough for a new acquaintance, but general enough for a good friend, too: Très bien, merci. Very well, thank you.
The French greeting “ça va” (pronounced sah-vah) in English literally means “it goes” or “that goes”. Ça va is used commonly in everyday informal French greetings. The translation of “Comment ça va?” is “How's it going?”.
If someone says Ca va?, you can answer oui (yes) or simply et toi? (And you?). It might sound rude (hey, it might even be rude), but people do it all the time.
14. Comme ci, comme ça — Okay. When you want to reply to Ça va ? (“How's it going?” or “Are you okay?”), you can say Comme ci, comme ça. It literally means “Like this, like that,” however it's used to mean “okay” and “so-so.”
You can either reply saying "Bonjour" back or you could say "salut" which also means hello but in an informal way.
Some proper ways to respond to ça va? include, “Très bien, et vous ?” or in a more casual setting, “Ça va bien, et toi ?” But you can also respond with a simple “ça va,” which means you're doing fine.
Translation of "ma belle" in English. Noun. baby. honey. sweetheart.
Ça va bien, merci => Things are going well, thank you!
N'est-ce pas is just like the English "isn't it" or "don't you" or similar. It requests a yes/no reply to the question. In the positive, the response is oui/non and in the negative it is si/non.
Translation of "ça va le faire" in English. that'll do it. this'll work.
(The triplet “tak, tak, tak” is a sound French people make to emphasize accomplishing multiple tasks. It can also be used as onomatopoeia, literally voicing the sound of walking feet when giving walking directions to someone.) It sounds like the English word “tack.”
To make ça va negative; just use ne…pas… before and after the verb, va. For example: Ça ne va pas (It's not going well/That's not okay). You can also, of course, make it negative when a pronoun is involved.
3 - How to forgive someone in French
Let's say someone told you “Pardon”, “Excuse-moi” or “Je suis désolé.” How can you react? What should you say? Well, the easiest answer is Ça ne fait rien (= that's nothing).
very well. See full dictionary entry for très below.
(informal) how are you.
Translation of "va bien" in English. goes well is fine is well goes far is okay look good is going well is ok.
In French, the meaning of “Je ne sais pas” (pronounced juh nun say pah) is “I don't know”.
Estoy bien. Nothing. I'm fine.
(pɑː dʏ ˈtuː) French. interjection. not at all.
Grammatically, merci bien doesn't really make sense (“Thanks well!”), but people use it often. It's a kind of “casual formal” way of saying thank you in French. You can use it in any everyday situation with a stranger.
Merci bien can just mean “Thanks a lot” or “Thanks so much” in a truly grateful way. But it can also be used sarcastically and may be associated with that in many French speakers' minds. For instance: Merci bien, mais j'ai pas que ça à faire !
everything is fine thank you and you.
