0:00Hello everyone, welcome to this new French video.
0:03Today, we will see together four expressions about eyes in French.
0:19I know you really enjoy learning new expressions.
0:23Today we're going to look at four that are directly related to eyes.
0:29The first one, I was asked in comments, is simply "mon oeil".
0:34It's a colloquial expression, to be used
0:38more with friends, with your family, with colleagues you are close to.
0:45I almost forgot before I started. Please put a "like" to the video.
0:49It shows me that you support my work and my channel.
0:53That's really important to me. So, my eye.
0:56Often it is accompanied by this gesture. My eye.
1:01You put your finger right there. My eye.
1:05This expression, it's a bit ironic, so,
1:09it's not to be taken at face value. It means, "but of course! "
1:17You want to show that you don't believe what someone tells you.
1:21You don't believe what the person you are talking to is telling you.
1:26You don't believe what she says. You are not stupid.
1:30You are not gullible. You know it's not true. That she is lying.
1:35Here's some background. I think you'll understand right away.
1:39Laura has a big house in Paris and a Ferrari.
1:43And she tells me she earns minimum wage. My eye!
1:47Like I said, we'll use it to show that we don't believe in anything.
1:53For us, it's not true. The second expression is not really
1:58familiar, it's more of a common, neutral language.
2:02This expression is "to have the eyes bigger than the stomach".
2:08This expression is used to say that we have taken more to eat, we have ordered
2:15for example more to eat than we can really fit in our belly, in our stomach.
2:22We had the impression, for example, that we were very hungry.
2:27And in the end, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs.
2:31I ordered three burgers because I was so hungry and I could only eat one.
2:37My eyes were bigger than my stomach.
2:40The third expression is also a rather neutral, rather common language.
2:45It is "to do something with your eyes closed".
2:49When you do something with your eyes
2:51closed, it means that you are able to do something automatically.
2:56Even with your eyes closed, you could do it, you don't think, you don't hesitate.
3:03I could change the wheel of my car with my eyes closed.
3:08You can also use eyes closed to say that you trust someone or something.
3:14I trust him with my eyes closed. So this person has my full trust.
3:19For example, I can say I trust my daughter to her nanny with my eyes closed.
3:25She has all my trust.
3:27And finally, the fourth expression we're going to look at today is a colloquial
3:33expression, so again, use it more with your loved ones.
3:37It is "to poke the eye". Punch. Knock.
3:40It's like something or someone hits the eye.
3:43You can say it for an object or for a person.
3:47We use it to say that we really liked someone or something.
3:53A dress in this store caught my eye. I think I will buy it.
3:58You liked this dress very much, you flashed on it - we can also say that in French.
4:05It's also a colloquial expression, but it's a synonym for "getting in your eye".
4:09This boy really caught my eye. I'm going to ask him out for a drink.
4:14You were seduced by this boy, by his appearance. You liked him.
4:19That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed these expressions.
4:24We saw two colloquial and two more common
4:28language so that you can really expand and enrich your vocabulary.
