0:00Hi everyone, hope you are doing well.
0:03Welcome to this new video where we will
0:06see together a French expression in a few minutes.
0:11Today, we will see together the expression "ça va sans dire".
0:16Before you start, if you need them,
0:19remember to enable English or French subtitles.
0:23If the video is too fast or too slow for
0:26you, remember that YouTube allows you to change the speed of the video.
0:32Needless to say, what does that mean?
0:36It goes without saying, it just means it's obvious.
0:41You don't even have to say it, it goes without saying.
0:46It's that something is so obvious that
0:50it's not even worth using your breath to say it.
0:55For example, if I am in a restaurant and the person who is with me and I are very
1:03greedy, we love to eat, I will ask the person if we can have a dessert?
1:10And the person will most certainly answer
1:13me, it goes without saying to say that it is obvious that we will have a dessert.
1:19It's a silly question because it's so obvious. Another example.
1:26For example, if you send your wife or husband or boyfriend, girlfriend, friend
1:32to go shopping and you asked him to take milk.
1:36When he comes back, if you ask him did you take milk?
1:40He's going to say, of course, that's why I went to the races in the first place.
1:45So that means that it's obvious that he took some.
1:48That's it for today.
1:50This was a very short video to introduce you to this expression.
1:54I hope you liked this expression, that you can use it too.
2:02See you soon and don't forget to watch the video if you liked it.
2:08See you soon.
