المعنى
Used to indicate that a place is open for business.
خلفية ثقافية
Many shops in France close on Sundays and Mondays. Always check if 'c'est ouvert' before traveling to a small town. In Quebec, business hours are often longer than in France, similar to North American standards, but the phrase remains identical. A sign saying 'Ouvert' is often accompanied by 'Entrez' (Come in) or 'Bienvenue' (Welcome).
Look for the sign
Most French shops have a small reversible sign in the window. If it's green or says 'Ouvert', you're good!
The 'Je suis ouvert' trap
Never say 'Je suis ouvert' to mean you are free for a meeting. Say 'Je suis libre'.

6 أسئلةNo, it is only for places or objects. For a person's mind, use 'Il a l'esprit ouvert'.
Both are correct. 'C'est ouvert' is more general ('It's open'), while 'Il est ouvert' refers to a specific masculine noun like 'le magasin'.
Say 'Est-ce que c'est déjà ouvert ?'.
The opposite is 'C'est fermé'.
No, the 't' is silent in the masculine form 'ouvert'. It is pronounced in the feminine 'ouverte'.
Usually, we say 'Le site est en ligne' or 'Le site fonctionne', but 'C'est ouvert aux inscriptions' (It's open for registrations) works.
