0:05Hello everyone, welcome to this new video
0:09where we will see a French expression in a few minutes.
0:13Before we start, choose three cards au pif.
0:18You didn't understand what I said,
0:20what I asked you? This is the expression that we will see today: au pif.
0:26Au pif is an expression which means at random.
0:30When I ask you to choose three cards au pif,
0:33I ask you to choose three cards blindly, at random, au pif.
0:39This expression can also mean approximately.
0:44So it's not really random, but it's really by eye.
0:49You evaluate without really knowing. For example, I could ask you:
0:54you think the distance between the library and me is how much?
1:02You could answer me au pif: 3 meters.
1:06That means that it's quite approximate,
1:09you don't really know, but you're saying a little bit randomly like that,
1:14as it seems to you. But of course, you don't have a meter to measure.
1:22For example, you can also use this expression in cooking.
1:26If you don't have scales to
1:28weigh the ingredients, you're going to make a recipe that's a bit au pif.
1:33You'll say: well, I didn't have any scales,
1:36so I put a little bit of sugar, flour, milk, au pif, as it seemed.
1:42I did the best I could without really being able to measure.
1:46You figured it out au pif.
1:47It can really mean completely random, so blind.
1:51Or it could be a bit of an approximation, by giving you as I thought.
1:57That's it for today, for this expression. I hope you understood it.
2:01If there are other expressions that
2:03you would like me to explain, please feel free to put it in a comment.
