French Lesson How to discuss internal issues you might have in the work place.
“That’s an internal issue, don’t wash your dirty laundry in public.”
“internal”: « interne »
« C’est un problème interne, ne lavez pas votre linge sale en public. »
“an issue”: « un problème »
Fench words that sound similar but are not the same. False friend alert!
« une issue » is “an exit”, not “an issue”.
“don’t wash” is an imperative in the negative form.
So the negative form in French is usually « ne » + word + « pas » « ne pas ». Then you put the main word, the verb here, in the middle, “don’t wash”; « ne lavez pas ».
“your”: « votre » (formal) or « ton » (informal).
“your dirty laundry”: « votre linge sale ».
The “dirty laundry” expression is exactly the same in French: “don’t wash your dirty laundry in public”: « ne lavez pas votre linge sale en public ».
“in”: « en »
“in public”: « en public »
“the public”: « le public »
Here is the full sentence again:
“That’s an internal issue, don’t wash your dirty laundry in public.”
« C’est un problème interne, ne lavez pas votre linge sale en public. »
