wht cn i say?

 

lectr #2: mom + dad vs. nina

 

like i sd b4, i didn't think mom and dad both had enuff N-R-G to go a round against nina right after they did with me! still, they did. i guess it just goes 2 show u tht u shud never underestimate age + anger over youth + wits. not that nina's all tht quick on th draw n e way, but here they all went 2nite:

 

dad: "so, nina, r we going to hear n e more out of u thn out of rawdyn?"

 

nina: "nope"

 

dad: "come on! i thot u would at least want 2 show ur sister up!"

 

me: "hey!"

 

nina: "well, i would, but u'd get the same answers n e way. school sux"

 

mom: "and why is that, pray tell?"

 

nina: "dont go all shakespr on me. sux to be him. cant understand a wrd he says. n e way, li'l sis is right, plus 1 more reason. it doesn't prpr u for what rly matters in life. like a job. on that pt., both of u are totally wrong!"

 

dad: "o rly? pls elaborate."

 

nina: "dont use big snotty wrds w/me! the reason school is so crappy is b'cuz i have career goals in mind, and nothin in school is going 2 prpr me. i mean, why study circles and geometry when im not gonna be an architect n e way? im gonna work at a fashion mag, an none of u can stop me. end of story."

 

dad: "what fashion mag is that? smth. where the girls wear no clothes?"

 

nina: "DAD!!! shut the f@#$ up! its a REAL magazine, where girls DO wear cloths. it's called verite, run by mademoiselle belle veraud. very classy."

 

dad: "does mlle. veraud know that u swear like a sailor?"

 

nina: *rollseyes* "that's beside the pt. n e way, she needs a pa. that's a personal assistant--not that u 2 would kno that. im gonna go work 4 her."

 

mom: "when? aftr u graduate from H.S.?"

 

nina: "that's wut im trying to tell u. i dont want to graduate. i dropping out."

 

mom + dad (together out loud): "WHAT?!?!?!?" me (thinking): (ZOMG!!!!)

 

mom: "nina, u r NOT dropping out of school."

 

nina: "o ya? sez who? i'm 17, u know."

 

mom: "that means ur not 18. as far as i'm concerned, u'll stay in school no matter what miss veraud says, or if she needs a personal assistant."

 

nina: "u'd deny me a career opportunity? how could you???"

 

dad: "im sure that the editor of a fashion magazine like verite (holy crap, he even pronounced it right--in FRENCH!!!), "wants a pa with a H.S. diploma."

 

nina: "what if she doesnt?"

 

dad: "what if she does?"

 

nina: "sh@$. u don't even kno her. i do. i'v been talking to her some."

 

mom (looks more concerned nw): "rly? when? how?"

 

nina: "on my cell duh. also, on the web i saw an ad for verite employment."

 

dad: "the only way u'r going to get any 'verite employment' is if u graduate."

 

nina: "shut up dad. BTW rawdyn, i need ur help studying 4 my french quiz."

 

me: "vraiment?" (really?) "how much u going 2 pay me?"

 

nina: "this is free help. i need it really bad or ms. henson will kill me"

 

me: "quel dommage!" (what a loss, what a pity) "pardonnez-moi. NON."

 

nina: "PERDANT!!!!"

 

mom: "what?"

 

me: "you just called me a loser. a MALE loser, that is. hahahahahahahaha!"

 

nina: "I DID NOT"

 

me: "yes u did. try 'perdante'. if u don't pronounce the 'e', you're calling me a guy loser."

 

nina: "STFU RAWDYN! U R SO WRONG!!!"

 

me: "gee, i guess u really do need help for ur french quiz. so sorry. adieu!"

 

dad: "all the more reason why you both shud finish school. hear that nina?"

 

nina: "TA GUEULE!!!!" (ok, she knows how to say "shut up" in french all right...)

 

mom: "if that means what i think it means, ur grounded missy"

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! parents = 1 nina = 0 (by the way, nina's grounded!!!)

This time I'll keep my ridiculous thoughts to myself and just tell you it's good...

...

...

However,

 

"quel damage!" (what a loss, what a pity)

 

It's "Quel dommage" and not damage...unless you mean she did some damage to her sister like stabbing her with a fork lol.

 

nina: "PERDANT!!!!"

mom: "what?"

me: "you just called me a loser. a MALE loser, that is. hahahahahahahaha!"

nina: "I DID NOT"

me: "yes u did. if u don't pronounce the 't', you're calling me a guy loser."

 

Male loser is "Perdant" that is correct.

The female loser is "Perdante".

So it more correct to say :

"yes u did. if u don't pronounce the 'e', you're calling me a guy loser."

 

 

nina: "TAIS TOI!!!" (ok, she knows how to say "shut up" in french all right...)

 

Tais toi is more the polite version of shut up.

If she mean to be very rude then it's better to say :

"Ta gueule!!!" gueule is the maw if you want to know.

Saying ta gueule to someone is very rude, but what you wrote was correct, it isn't a real error because tais toi could also mean shut up.

 

That is all for today's lesson.
