0:05Hi everyone, I hope you are well. Welcome to this short video format
0:12where we see each time a French expression.
0:16Today we will see the expression
0:18"the pot calling the kettle black". the pot calling the kettle black".
0:21Before starting, think of course, to activate the French subtitles.
0:25This will help you to understand better and to better remember all the new words
0:29or anything else we're going to we are going to see in this video.
0:32It's the pot calling the kettle black
0:35or it is the hospital that the pot calling the kettle black.
0:38If we say, the pot calling the kettle black that laughs at the charity,
0:41the expression is really very,
0:43very familiar, whereas it's the hospital that's laughing
0:46charity, it can be used in more in more contexts.
0:50But what does this expression mean? When you use it,
0:53we want to say to someone who makes a reproach a reproach or pointing out a defect.
1:00While this person also has this defect, also does something wrong.
1:06You will certainly understand better understand with some contextualization.
1:10For example, if I ate
1:13all the potato chips in my house and someone blames me,
1:18for example, my husband will blame me, he's going to say you ate all the chips.
1:22I'm going to tell him,
1:24it's the pot calling the kettle black. the pot calling the kettle black.
1:26You, you ate all my yogurt. So you see, somebody's blaming me, but me,
1:33I find that person, they're no better than me.
1:35She makes the same mistakes as I do,
1:37so I'm going to tell her it's the pot calling the kettle black the pot calling the kettle black.
1:42Here's another context. For example, at work, I can say.
1:48My boss reproaches me by saying that I take that I take too long a break
1:53lunch break, when I only take an hour. I only take one hour.
1:59I can tell that it's really the pot calling the kettle black.
2:03He leaves every day at noon and comes back at 2pm.
2:06He takes twice as long. It's the pot calling the kettle black.
2:11So he blames me and he, he does the same thing, even worse.
2:16And that's it for the expression of the day.
