| | Is this text correct in French??
just asking |
| | 22 April 2008 19:22 |
| | I understand that it's "I love you too much, Mélanie, for us to be together"
meaning that it's impossible for us to be together because I love you too much
but I have a dilema about that "vivement"...

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hello Azitrad; you are wrong. HE LOVES HER VERY MUCH and he is deeply waiting for them to be together. I have translated it into English. Have a look on my translation and tell me if you agree with me. |

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hello again, Azitrad. Neither can I. It seems it has just disappeared. Mais en français tu peux trés bien , par exemple dire : je t'aime trop , je ne peux pas me passer de toi. What do you think? |

| | well in this case, in french, vivement expresses the fact that you can t wait for something (vivement le weekend for example).
Concerning the "trop", it s used to emphasize the amount of love he has for her, so it s just translated "so much", it doesn t have that meaning of "too much"....
You can never get too much love...;-) |

| | Yes, Anouchka is right, then in the first part of the sentence, she translated it very well, as our "trop" is an expression that actually isn't to be translated literaly by "too much" in this context, and is kind of idiomatic just to mean " a lot", or "so much". This expression ("trop" for "so much" or "a lot" is very used by young people, "trop" can even be used nowadays (not in an academic way though) as an adjective in spoken French, eg : "il/elle est trop".
"I can't wait" matches "vivement" as well, right! |
