To ignore or scorn something, to pay no attention to it.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The expression is a hallmark of 'la langue soutenue' (formal language). Using it correctly in a dissertation or a job interview in France signals that you belong to a certain intellectual elite. While understood, 'faire fi' is less common in spoken Quebec French, where 'se foutre de' or 'passer par-dessus' might be used even in semi-formal contexts. It remains common in Radio-Canada editorials. In Francophone West Africa, formal French often preserves classical idioms. 'Faire fi' is frequently found in administrative documents and formal oratory. Similar to France, it is used in high-level journalism and legal contexts, particularly when discussing European Union regulations.
