A1 Expression 中性

J'ai peur

I am scared

意思

Used to express the emotion of fear.

🌍

文化背景

The French often use 'J'ai peur que' in administrative letters to politely inform you of a problem or rejection. In Quebec, you might hear 'J'ai les schtroumpfs' as a very informal/slang way to say you're scared, though 'J'ai peur' remains the standard. Fear is a central theme in French 'Grand Guignol' traditions and modern psychological thrillers, where 'J'ai peur' is often whispered for dramatic effect. Existential fear ('l'angoisse') is a major theme in 20th-century French literature (Sartre, Camus).

💡

The 'Avoir' Rule

Always associate 'peur' with 'avoir'. If you find yourself saying 'Je suis...', stop and change it to 'J'ai'.

⚠️

Preposition 'De'

Don't forget the 'de' when you name the object of your fear. 'J'ai peur chiens' is incorrect.

No, it's not natural. Say 'J'ai très peur' or 'J'ai vraiment peur'.

'J'ai peur' is fear or dread, while 'Je m'inquiète' is closer to 'I am worrying' or 'I am concerned'.

It is neutral. You can use it with friends, family, or your boss.

You say 'Tu me fais peur' (You make me fear) or 'J'ai peur de toi'.

It's a very common informal way to say 'to be scared'.

Yes, always. For example: 'J'ai peur qu'il pleuve' (I'm afraid it might rain).

It's a small 'ne' that appears after 'avoir peur que' in formal French. It doesn't mean 'not'; it's just a stylistic marker.

No. For 'I'm afraid so', use 'J'en ai bien peur'.

It is feminine: 'la peur'.
