How do you say shut up in french?
SE TAIS-TOI
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Before you even think about saying that, please remember that it is not very polite! In French you also have to consider if you are on a first-name basis (peer, family member, pet, etc.) or if you should be formal.
To someone your age, family member, etc. = tais-toi. (This is more like "hush.") Less polite is "ferme-la."
To someone older = taisez-vous. Less polite = fermez-la.
To say "shut up" in French, you can use the phrase "tais-toi" or "ferme ta bouche," which both roughly translate to "be quiet" or "shut up." However, it's important to note that telling someone to "shut up" can be considered impolite, so it's generally advisable to use these phrases sparingly and in appropriate social contexts.
If you ever have similar translation questions in the future, you can use online translation tools like Google Translate or language-learning websites like Duolingo. Simply type or input the English phrase you want to translate, select the desired language (in this case, French), and the translation will be provided. Additionally, you can consult language dictionaries or phrasebooks to find useful words and expressions in different languages.
