like sort of to call upon the bright side

[topaz drift]

confused, you read/heard "on appelle la vie du bon côté" somewhere?

it doesn't really mean anything to me

[atomic patrol]

yeah in the textbook we had to like choose which phrase would fit best

and appelle was the only one left

for that one

so maybe we call it life on the bright side?

something like that

cause there was no voir in the verbs to choose from

and no other verb would make sense

[manic marsh]

The more likely explanation is that you matched another phrase with the wrong verb

Normally the expression is "on prend la vie du bon côté"

Which phrase did you match with the verb "prendre" ?

[atomic patrol]

it was je prends une semaine sur deux avec chaque parent

maybe i call every other week

[manic marsh]

That would be "passer", I think.
The mystery thickens - which phrase did you match with "passer"?

[atomic patrol]

there was no passer

these were the verbs

[manic marsh]

Here's where I would use the infinitives:

5. appeler - avoir
6. vivre - marcher
7. vivre - croire
8. être - prendre

though you could switch "être" with "vivre"

but appeler unambiguously goes into the 1st slot and prendre unambiguously goes into the last one

oh yeah now i see it
