A2 Expression ニュートラル

J'adore.

I love it; I adore.

意味

Expressing strong liking or admiration for something.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'J'adore' perfume by Dior is a cultural icon. Its ads often feature the phrase as a synonym for French luxury and gold-standard quality. In Quebec, you might hear 'J'adore ça' more frequently than in France, where 'J'adore' is often used as a standalone exclamation. Younger people often replace 'J'adore' with 'J'aime trop' or 'Je kiffe' to sound less 'classic' and more 'street'. Saying 'J'adore' to a host about their cooking is considered a very warm and necessary compliment in social gatherings.

💡

The 'Thing' Rule

When in doubt, use 'J'adore' for things and 'J'aime' for people to avoid awkward romantic misunderstandings.

⚠️

Don't forget the 'L'

Always use 'le', 'la', or 'les' after J'adore when talking about a noun. 'J'adore pizza' is a common mistake; say 'J'adore la pizza'.

It's better to use 'Je t'aime'. If you say 'J'adore mon copain', it sounds like you think he's a great 'item' or you like his personality, but it lacks the romantic depth of 'Je t'aime'.

It's neutral. You can use it with your boss, your grandmother, or your best friend. It's safe everywhere!

'J'adore' is standard French. 'J'aime trop' is very common among young people and is more informal.

Yes, but 'J'adore' is the most common form. For 'we love', it's 'Nous adorons'.

No. 'Adorer' is already at the maximum level of liking. Adding 'beaucoup' is redundant and sounds incorrect to native speakers.

Always 'J'adore'. The 'e' in 'Je' disappears before a vowel.

You can say 'Je n'adore pas', but it's often used sarcastically. To be clear, say 'Je n'aime pas trop'.

Yes! Just use the infinitive: 'J'adore chanter', 'J'adore cuisiner'.

Yes, it's very common in all French-speaking regions, including Quebec, Belgium, and Switzerland.
