معنی
To be quick at noticing things or judging situations accurately.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'coup d'œil' is highly valued in French gastronomy. A chef is expected to know if a sauce is ready just by its color and consistency, without always relying on timers or thermometers. In the world of 'Haute Couture', the 'coup d'œil' is what distinguishes a great couturier. It's the ability to see how a fabric will drape on a body before even cutting it. For traditional French craftsmen, 'avoir le coup d'œil' is a rite of passage. It means you no longer need to measure everything because your eye has become a precision instrument. The concept of 'le regard' (the gaze) is central to French philosophy and literature (Sartre, Foucault). 'Avoir le coup d'œil' is the practical, everyday application of this intellectual focus.
Use it as a compliment
If you want to impress a French person, use this to compliment their taste or skill. It sounds much more native than 'Tu es intelligent'.
Don't pluralize
Even though we have two eyes, the expression is always singular: 'le coup d'œil'.
