Bonjour, I don’t know whether to tutoyer or vouvoyer someone and also to know the reason for doing so. I think that one vouvoies these people: 1. an authority figure; 2. someone who has high/respected title or position; 3. an elder person; 4. someone to whom you are not close. And in any case, you may tutoyer as soon as that person permits you to do so. Are those accurate/complete? If they ask me “ça va?”, is that a signal to me to tutoyer them? Merci à l'avance et bonne journée!

I’ve already posted quite an exhaustive post regarding this, please look for it. However “ça va” doesn’t mean you can start tutoyer someone at all. It’s not very formal indeed, but it’s rather neutral actually as it uses the neutral “ça” pronoun. When people want you to tutoyer them, they usually instruct it very clearly, like “tu peux me tutoyer, tu sais”, “on peut se tutoyer”, “ça te va si on se tutoie ?” or something like that. They’ll make it 100% clear for sure ..read more

My mother-in-law was from southern Belgium, She called my husband “timousse”, (pronounced tea-moose) unsure of the spelling. What would this mean in French?

She meant “p'tit mousse”, which means “lil sailor”. It’s a cute pet name for children, quite old though. Young parents today wouldn’t use it ..read more

So once I was flirting with a French man and he said “Mais tu et coquine?” And then said if again in bed and I could never fathom from context exactly what it meant. I know it’s something like naughty but I’d love to know the correct translation xx
