User: Title: How well do you know France and the French ?
Caption: Do you think you're a Francophile?
In other words, you can't
be caught out.
Do you know absolutely everything
about France and its history,
its monuments and about French and
its mysterious conjugations?
Let's find out!
Hi, hi, hi!
Welcome to a new, special
episode of French Mornings.
If you're learning French,
you've come to the right place.
I'm Elisa and on this channel I
help you to improve your French
and speak more naturally.
Today, I have a test for you.
Let's see if you're knowledgeable
in "G" (general) culture,
i.e. if you know a lot about,
or if you have good general
knowledge of France.
So, get comfortable,
turn on the subtitles if you need them.
And let's start.
Before we begin, I have
a little gift for you.
You can download my free 150-word guide
of level B2 vocabulary.
These are rather complicated words.
Level B2 is an advanced level.
There will even be a few in
the questions in this video.
The link is in the description.
Now it's time for the test.
There will be ten questions.
Don't forget to write down your points and
tell me your score at
the end of the video.
And no cheating!
Question number one.
In French, we love apocopes,
words that have been shortened.
This exists in many languages.
For example, we often
say "kilo" for kilogram.
The word "dico" is also an apocope.
Does it mean :
Answer A: a dictionary,
Answer B: a dictator,
Answer C: a dichotomy,
Answer D: a night club.
The correct answer is A,
a "dico" is a dictionary.
We sometimes say: "I'll look
up a word in the "dico"".
And maybe the word in the next question,
you can also look it up in the "dico".
Question 2: What does
the word "pagaille" mean?
"La pagaille"
Answer A: It's a French folk dance.
Answer B : It's a
traditional cake from Provence.
Answer C: It's a total mess.
Answer D: It's a painting technique.
The correct answer is C.
"La pagaille" is disorder.
You might say, for example: "My room
is a "pagaille", I need to tidy it up".
Question number 3.
In French, we also like
to use expressions which can be
a bit strange at times.
What does it mean "to have
teeth that scratch the floor?"
Answer A: It means "to have big teeth".
Answer B: To be a dangerous person.
Answer C: To be very ambitious.
Answer D: To take care of
the floor in your home.
The correct answer is C.
"Having teeth that scratch the floor"
means having a lot of ambition.
It's the idea that a person is really
prepared to do anything to
achieve their ambitions.
We could imagine, for example,
that they could attack others with
their big teeth, as big as a wolf's teeth.
For example, "The main
character in the film,
The Wolf of Wall Street has
teeth that scratch the floor."
Question number 4.
The French love slang, and even the
city of Paris has its own nickname.
Is it :
Answer A: Paname,
Answer B: Pam Pam,
Answer C: Param,
Answer D: Parigo.
The correct answer is A.
The nickname for the
city of Paris is Paname.
It's a term that originated
during a corruption scandal
while the Panama Canal was being drilled.
And many politicians and
industrialists were involved.
These people lived in Paris and
were also known as Panamistes.
By extension, the city of
Paris became known as Paname,
which brings to mind
this story of corruption.
And answer D: Parigot is the nickname
given to the inhabitants of Paris.
It's a bit pejorative, it's true.
Question number 5: France is
the country where people consume
the most butter per capita.
In your opinion, how many
kilos do we consume per person per year?
Is it :
Answer A: 2 kilos,
Answer B: 4 kilos,
Answer C: 6 kilos,
Answer D: 8 kilos?
The correct answer is D: 8
kilos per person per year.
That makes about 32 kouign-amann.
This is a typical Breton cake
which uses a lot of butter,
approximately 250 grams per cake.
Question 6: How many PDO
cheeses are there in France?
i.e. protected designation of origin.
Answer A: 12,
Answer B: 46,
Answer C: 98,
or answer D: 256?
The correct answer is B.
There are 46 PDO cheeses,
meaning that their designation is
controlled according to their
production and geographical location.
But in addition to these PDO cheeses, it
is estimated that there
are more than 1,200
different cheeses in France.
Question 7: What does it mean "to
have your heart on your hand"?
Answer A: To be generous
and ready to help others,
Answer B: To be easily moved or sensitive,
Answer C: Being a very
disorganised person,
or answer D: To be a diplomat?
The correct answer is A.
It's a very generous person,
someone who has their
"heart on their hand",
someone who is ready to give their all.
Question number 8.
A little more vocabulary.
What does the word "péripétie" mean?
Answer A: It's a yoga relaxation method.
Answer B: It's an
unexpected event in a story.
Answer C: It's a traditional
dance from Burgundy.
Or answer D: It's a
spicy Mediterranean dish.
The correct answer is B.
"Une péripétie" is an unexpected event
or a plot twist.
For example: I loved following the
adventures of the heroine of this novel.
Question number 9.
We continue with a "colle""
a "colle" is a tricky question.
What is the conjugation of
the verb "devoir"
in the second person plural
in the "plus-que-parfait" tense?
Answer A: "Vous aviez dû."
Answer B: "Vous auriez dû."
Answer C: "Vous deviez."
Answer D:Answer D: "Vous devez."
It's answer A: "Vous aviez dû."
The "plus-que-parfait"
tense is used to talk about
an action in the past
that happened
before another action, always in the past.
For example:
He came to pick you up,
but you must have had to leave in a hurry.
OK, let's continue with an
easy question this time.
OK, let's continue with an
easy question this time.
Question 10: What is the name
of the street in Paris that is
famous for its luxury boutiques and
which stretches from the Arc de Triomphe
to the Place de la Concorde?
Is it A: the Champs-Élysées,
B: Haussmann Boulevard,
C: Rivoli Street
or D: Montaigne Avenue?
The correct answer is obviously A.
You may have hesitated with
Rivoli Street, which also goes to
the Place de la Concorde, but it doesn't
start at the Arc de Triomphe.
Okay, I lied.
There are 11 questions.
We'll finish with a bonus question to
help you win points if you've lost any.
Question number 11:
Which French athlete won the
gold medal in the 400 metre medley
this summer at the Paris
2024 Olympic Games?
Is it answer A: Florent Manaudou,
Answer B: Jérémy Stravius,
Answer C: Léon Marchand,
or answer D: Maxime Grousset?
The correct answer is C.
It's Léon Marchand, the
new favourite of the French.
A "chouchou" is someone
we like very much,
that we really appreciate.
He is just 22 years old and
won many gold medals this year.
during the Olympic Games.
