0:00Hi everyone, hope you are doing well.
0:02I'm back today for a new very short video
0:05where we'll see together a French expression.
0:09This expression is very, very often used
0:13by the French people who welcome you in their home.
0:17So if you go to a French dinner party or if you go for a snack or a coffee, it's an
0:23expression that very easily, the French will come out.
0:27This expression is "fais comme chez toi" or "faites comme chez vous"
0:33if you talk to several people or you talk to someone in a polite manner.
0:38When someone comes to your house and you
0:42want them to feel comfortable, to feel at home, you say "make yourself at home".
0:48My house is considered your house.
0:50For example, if I have a friend coming
0:53over and she asks me, can I have a glass of water?
0:56I'm going to tell her, make yourself at
0:59home, the glasses are right there, that means you can serve yourself.
1:03You can take a glass and put water in it. Here's some more context.
1:07If a group of friends comes over for
1:10dinner and they ask me do you want us to take off our shoes or leave them on? I can
1:15tell them make yourself at home, do whatever you are most comfortable with.
1:21That means I let them choose. I tell them you do what you do at home.
1:24If you want to take your shoes off, you take them off.
1:27If you want to leave them on, you leave them on.
1:30In English, I think the equivalent is "make yourself at home".
1:35That's it for today. Don't hesitate to tell me in comments, if
1:38there is an equivalent in your language and what it is.
1:41I hope you enjoyed this video.
