뜻
To discourage someone from doing something by making them lose interest.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often used with a sense of 'justice' or 'merit'. If someone is acting arrogant and fails, a French person might say 'Ça lui passera l'envie' with a certain satisfaction. In Quebec, you might also hear 'couper l'envie' or even 'passer le goût', which is a slightly more colorful variation meaning the same thing. In a corporate setting, this phrase is used to describe how bureaucracy or bad management kills employee initiative. It is a staple of traditional parenting. It implies that a child's 'caprice' (whim) can be cured by a firm 'non' or a consequence.
Use it for 'I told you so'
It's the perfect phrase to use when someone ignores your warning and then regrets it.
Watch the Pronoun
Always remember the 'à'. It's 'passer l'envie À quelqu'un'. Don't say 'passer l'envie quelqu'un'.
