Please be patient

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.

[junior basalt]

So should i use comment vous appelez-vous in everday writing/speaking?

[hybrid token]

it’s not every day no

you fancy mofo

[junior basalt]

lol

[hybrid token]

it does roll off the tongue, though

[junior basalt]

that is true

is there a more appropriate word or phrase other than these two?

[hybrid token]

quel est votre prénom?

[junior basalt]

yea that does sound and look better

hell of alot less formal

[hybrid token]

comment vous appelez-vous is better than comment vous vous appelez? because of the repetition but hey that’s just me

[junior basalt]

Thank you for helping me

[hybrid token]

hey no prob

Et c’est quoi votre prénom? is also good

[junior basalt]

Well i feel like my textbook is a little outdated

[hybrid token]

usually like you’ve already had a conversation with this older woman in line

and you want to express more “warmth” for lack of a better word

[hybrid token]

yes. I feel it should give you all the variations and how it feels to most Francophones.

[junior basalt]

aggreged

lol love auto correct

agreed

[hybrid token]

bahahah

[junior basalt]

would be the word

[hybrid token]

my family speak Spanish so my mind immediately went to agregar which means to add

but like I said to reiterate

comment tu t’appelles?

Tu t’appelles comment?
