0:05Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well and that you are
0:08ready for this new video in French.
0:11We will see together today an expression.
0:16This expression is "faire les cent pas".
0:20Tell me in comments if you have
0:21already heard it or even if you may have used it before.
0:24So this expression actually means
0:28what it means: we walk around a lot while waiting for something.
0:34We are impatient for a situation to happen,
0:35or we are stressed. We can be waiting for news, for example.
0:39We'll walk and do the hundred steps, so walk, walk while waiting.
0:45It allows us to make the time go a little bit faster.
0:50I'll give you a little bit of context.
0:52This will help you understand better
0:54the expression and especially to use it yourself, even if you have never used it before.
0:59For example, if my grandfather was in
1:02surgery and I'm in the hospital waiting for news,
1:07I can say that I am pacing up and down in the corridors of the hospital,
1:11waiting for news from my grandfather. I'm a little stressed.
1:14I'm going to walk to make the time go by faster.
1:17Here's a second, slightly more cheerful context.
1:20I've been pacing for 20 minutes.
1:24I'm having a party tonight and my guests
1:26are already 30 minutes late, so this allows me to be patient.
1:31I'd rather be in motion than waiting in a static, immobile way.
1:36And finally, here is a last context.
1:40I've been doing "faire les cent pas" since this morning, waiting for the results of my baccalaureate.
1:47That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this video.
