Il fait jour

It is daytime

意味

Refers to the period of light between sunrise and sunset.

🌍

文化的背景

The French value natural light in architecture. You will often hear people say 'Il fait jour' as a reason to open the 'volets' (shutters) immediately upon waking. In winter, when daylight is scarce, 'il fait jour' is a phrase of relief or importance, as the sun might only be up from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The transition from 'il fait nuit' to 'il fait jour' is a common poetic theme in French 'chansons' (songs), representing hope or a new beginning.

🎯

The 'Il fait' Rule

Memorize 'Il fait' as a block for weather. If you're talking about the sky or light, 90% of the time it starts with 'Il fait'.

⚠️

Avoid 'C'est'

Never use 'C'est jour'. It sounds like you are saying 'It is a day' in a very broken, robotic way.
