意思
Used to describe something that is not clean.
文化背景
The French often use 'sale' in the phrase 'sale caractère' to describe someone with a very difficult or mean personality. In Quebec, 'sale' can be used as an intensifier for insults, similar to 'maudit'. The expression 'faire du sale' is a popular phrase in rap culture meaning to do something impactful, raw, or to succeed aggressively.
The 'S' Rule
Remember that 'sale' is singular. If you are talking about multiple things, add an 's': 'Ces vêtements sont sales'.
Don't call people 'sale'
Saying 'Tu es sale' is a personal attack on their hygiene. Use 'C'est sale' to refer to their actions instead.
