Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well and ready for a new video where we'll look at a French expression.
You may have guessed it - today we're going to look at the expression "tourner la page" (to turn the page).
I don't know if you know this expression. It simply means to move on, to move forward. You could even say you're closing the book.
It means you're moving on to a new chapter in your life, or that you're leaving something or someone behind.
Here are some examples to help you better understand the expression.
I forgot to mention - make sure to turn on subtitles, they'll help you understand the video better.
Let's move on to the examples now.
For instance, I could say: Greg has completely "tourne la page" with Maeva. It's over, he doesn't love her anymore, and he'll never get back together with her.
Here's another example.
For instance, if I have a friend who was a singer in her youth, I could ask her: Don't you miss your singing career? And she could answer: No, I've completely "tourne la page" on my singing career. Now I'm a chef and I love my new profession. I've moved on - it's behind me.
That's it for today.
Feel free to tell me in the comments what expressions you'd like me to explain or put into context.
