Hello, and welcome to begin aFrench conversation seven. Today we'll be
doing a little bit more shopping.Our conversation starts with excusemois, excuse emoi

(01:08):
ven de vous de bois sent proteineexcusemoi. The verb vande means to sell
before we do anything else. Let'slearn how to conjugate it in the present
tense I sell gu van, yousell duvon he she sells l l van.

(01:34):
We sell nu vandon. You sellpolite opera role vu vondi. They
sell masculine or feminine ill l vonde. Today we're just going to worry about
you sell the polite form undi.As we've learned before in French, when

(01:55):
you want to change something like yousell into the question do you sell,
we just flip it around, sovu vandi becomes rendezvous von de vous vendezvous.
The word de here means some orany. The word for drink is

(02:17):
boissons, and protein drinks or shakesis boissons proteine. We already know.
Excuse emoi means excuse me. Weput all that together and we get excuse
him ndevous, excuse emoi vonde vousde boissons proteine, excuse him vonde proteine.

(02:44):
The salesperson replies, we unfete pusiersort. We unfete nuzon navon meme
plusier sort. We unfete plusier sort. An fette is a great phrase to
learn. It means actually. Next, we have a verb that we've already

(03:07):
studied and conjugated before. It isthe verb avois, which means to have
in the next sentence, we seethe new form, which is neu zavents
or we have but in between thenew and the avon, we have this
little word en. When do youuse en? The simplest way to remember

(03:30):
when to use an is to useit anywhere that in English you would use
of it, such as we havea lot of it. Nuson navent boucout
we have plenty of it, neusonna vou plain we have need of it,
nuson navent bousoin, or in today'sconversation, we have several types of

(03:51):
it. Nuson navent memes pless yoursort, neuson navent ma'mes pleus your sort,
nuzon leaventmames pless your sort. Theword plusier, plusier, plusier means
several sorte sorte sorte means sorts ortypes. The word mem means same or

(04:18):
even. In today's conversation, itmeans even, and it adds a bit
of emphasis to the statement we havea few different types. The next sentence,
don keer sexium s, don quillsexium s, don keer sexium s

(04:38):
is very easy because we already knowkel means what sexium looks, just like
the English word section. So allwe really have to learn is don't don't
don't, which means in we putit all together and we get what or

(04:58):
which section is it in don't caresix u s don quer sexiun s don't
care six uns our next sentence isor fund lai sanc or fund lally sank
or fund lai sanc. The wordfun usually means bottom. When we put

(05:23):
a, which means at, andleu, which means the together, we
get oh oh oh. So ifwe want to say at the about something
masculine in French, we say ohoh oh so at the bottom of is

(05:45):
or fundu or fund or fundu.But what we really mean here is down,
as in write down Ale five Afive is lally sanc lalis sanc laali
sanc. This is a great opportunitynow for us to practice counting to ten
