Basic French phrases
France is the world’s top tourist destination and attracts millions of visitors yearly. The ability to speak even basic French phrases is much more enjoyable as this will offer insights into France’s culture and way of life. Before travelling to French-speaking countries, people are usually trying to learn French greetings such as:
- Bonjour! (Good morning, Good day, Hello) The origin or the French greetings “Bonjour” comes from the combination of bon + jour: “bon” is the French word that means good and “jour” is the French word that means a day
However, the word “bonjour” didn’t exist before 1230. So research suggests that “bon jor” was used to wish a “favourable day“. Only in 13th century “bonjour” was added to the list of basic French phrases for daily French greetings.
- Salut! (Hi!) – “Salut” is the equivalent of “hi” in English. A familiar way of saying “good morning” is “salut”. It is one of the informal French greetings that is commonly used among friends and family members. “Salut” can also be used to say “Bye-bye” to your friend.
- Au revoir! (Goodbye) – “Au revoir” is made of two words: “au” is a French preposition and “revoir” is a French word that means “to see again”. “Au plaisir de se revoir” is also one of the French expressions with the word “revoir” that can be used when leaving while expressing the pleasure (plaisir) to meet again.
