معنی
Used to state that something is incorrect or not factual.
زمینه فرهنگی
In French schools, 'Vrai ou Faux' is the standard format for tests. This drills the phrase into the minds of every French citizen from age 5. In Quebec, you might hear 'C'est pas vrai' with a specific intonation to mean 'I don't believe it!' or 'No way!'. In many West African cultures, being too direct with 'C'est faux' to an elder can be seen as a lack of respect. People often use more roundabout ways to disagree. Swiss French tends to be slightly more formal and precise. 'C'est inexact' might be heard more frequently in professional settings than in France.
The 'C'est' Rule
Remember: 'C'est' + adjective is always masculine. Don't say 'C'est fausse'!
Be Careful with Tone
Saying 'C'est faux' too loudly can sound like you are calling someone a liar. Soften your voice.
