Welcome to Passe-relles, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.
Emilie , , .
Hi, I'm Emilie, and this week, as always, I'd like to invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on something together.
, .
In each episode, I try to bring you different topics to explore.
, .
My goal is simply to share some food for thought and encourage you to start questioning things in French.
, .
Today, we're going to talk about neighborly relations.
, , .
Our neighbors are the people who live near us.
, , .
There's a saying that goes, you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family.
, .
Well, you can't pick your neighbors either.
, , .
Sometimes, and this is true for me, these relationships go well.
, , , .
And how about you, how do you get along with your neighbors? This idea that you can't choose your neighbors, I'm not sure it's completely true, but we'll come back to that a bit later in the episode.
.
I thought about mentioning this to you earlier this week.
.
Let me give you some context.
jour-là, .
It was a beautiful day, and I'm very fortunate to live in a house with a garden.
, .
After lunch, I settled on the terrace to enjoy the sunshine and peace before getting back to work.
.
Unfortunately, the calm was short-lived.
.
My neighbor has a booming voice.
, .
"Tonitruant" describes something that makes a really loud noise, like thunder.
.
To put it simply, my neighbor is being incredibly loud and obnoxious.
, .
To "gueuler" means to yell, or shout really loudly.
, , .
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I bet you've experienced similar situations too.
