Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

bon bah t'as tout dit

[worthy mortar]

thank you :D

[unborn plover]

trop can also be used like très in casual speech, especially among young people

"Elle est trop sympa, cette fille !"
"J'ai trop hâte !"
"Cette robe est trop belle !"

also in certain expressions like "Vous êtes trop aimable" which isn't casual

[worthy mortar]

thank youuu

[unborn plover]

yup

j'ai hâte = i'm excited, I can't wait
literally: I have haste

[worthy mortar]

wait so i can use it in both scenarios?

[unborn plover]

you can say both "j'ai très hâte" and "j'ai trop hâte" if that's what you mean

[worthy mortar]

wait so how do u say can't in french

is it j'ai or is there another way of saying it cuz idk when to use j'ai now ;-;

[unborn plover]

I can't = je ne peux pas

you'll have to change the conjugation depending on who's doing it

[worthy mortar]

wdym who ?

sry if im bothering u with a lot of questions

[unborn plover]

nah it's okay

In English, we say "I am" but not "I are". This is because of the subject, "I". Verbs change form depending on who is doing them. It's the same principle in French.

I recommend you have a look at this, it's a big topic:
