0:05Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well and that you are
0:08are ready for this new video in French.
0:11We will see together today an expression.
0:16This expression is "faire les cent pas".
0:20Tell me in comments if you have it
0:21already heard it or even you may have used it before.
0:24So this expression actually means
0:28what it means, we walk around a lot while waiting for something.
0:34We are impatient for a situation to happen.
0:35or we are stressed, we can wait for waiting for news, for example.
0:39We'll walk and do the hundred steps, so walk, walk while waiting,
0:45it allows to make the time go a little bit faster. time to move forward a little faster.
0:50I'll give you a little bit of context.
0:52This will help you understand better
0:54the expression and especially to use it yourself even if you have never used it before.
0:59For example, if my grandfather was
1:02surgery and I'm in the hospital, I'm waiting for news.
1:07I can say that I am pacing up and down in the corridors of the hospital
1:11waiting for news from my grandfather. I'm a little stressed.
1:14I'm going to walk to make to make the time go by faster.
1:17Here's a second, slightly more cheerful context a little more cheerful.
1:20I've been pacing for 20 hours.
1:24I'm having a party tonight and my guests
1:26are already 30 minutes late, so this allows me to be patient.
1:31I prefer to be on the move than I'd rather be in motion than waiting in a static, immobile way.
1:36And finally, here is a last context.
1:40I've been faire les cent pas since this morning waiting for the results of the 2006 baccalaureate.
1:47That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this video.
