0:05Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
0:07Today, we meet again for a new French expression.
0:10In a few minutes, we will see the expression
0:14"c'est le serpent qui se mord la queue". So the animal snake.
0:20It is not clear what the animal is
0:23that bites its own tail before it starts to think, of course,
0:26to activate the French subtitles to make sure you understand everything.
0:31If you need it, the expression it's the snake that bites its tail.
0:37It means that we are in a vicious circle circle, so we're in a situation
0:43in which we have difficulty to get out of this situation.
0:46Or else, we are in a situation where an element A
0:50depends on an element B which needs needs to have elements.
0:54We're going in circles.
0:55In fact, we no longer know how to how to get out of it.
0:57I'll give you some context. That will be, I think,
1:00much easier to understand and especially,
1:02it will be easier for you to use the expression you can use the expression.
1:07By the way, after looking at this
1:08video, feel free to comment on sentences in the comments where you
1:12use this expression to show me that you to show me that you have understood it well.
1:16Here is a first contextualization
1:19in France to be able to open a bank account. You need pay slips,
1:25but in order to receive these salaries, you need a French bank account.
1:31I can't get my salary because
1:33I don't have a bank account, but I don't want to open an account
1:35bank account since I don't I don't have a salary.
1:38So we can say that it is the snake that bites its own tail.
1:42We don't know where to start. If we are in an infinite circle,
1:49here is a second contextualization, in a completely different context, in a completely different context,
1:53will help you to better understand understand the expression.
1:57I'm stressed about gaining weight, so I'm getting fatter
2:02and not being able to fit in my wedding dress.
2:06Since I am stressed, I eat. And so I gain weight.
2:11Mom, the snake that bites its own tail. That's it for today.
2:16I hope you enjoyed this expression,
2:18especially if you understood it well, and that I explained it to you well.
