معنی
Used to ask for the French translation of a word or phrase.
زمینه فرهنگی
In France, it is very important to start with 'Pardon' or 'Bonjour' before asking 'Comment dit-on...'. Jumping straight into the question can be seen as rude. Quebecers are very proud of their language and might offer you a traditional French word even if an English loanword is common in France (e.g., 'courriel' instead of 'email'). In Francophone Africa, French is often used alongside local languages like Wolof. You might use this phrase to navigate between the two.
The 'On' Secret
Native speakers use 'on' for everything. Mastering 'Comment dit-on' makes you sound more natural than using 'Comment est-ce que tu dis'.
Don't forget the 'en'
Always say 'en français', not 'au français' or 'dans français'.
