Informal sentences and expressions...

[Bettina]

Hi everybody,
often I hear simple sentences without knowing if it's common to use them or empathic?
I give you an example:
                                  "Well it's pretty straightforward"

Could you help me please?

[Freddyben]

I think it could be "Eh bien, c'est plutôt franc !"

[Bettina]

 In a podcast, he said that it means: "It's easy to understand or basic to use, it seams pretty simple..."
I don't like to use always the same words and so I ask me if it's a solution to say this simple sentence in another way.
But maybe you are right,too with your translation.
I appreciate your help, Freddyben. You're really fabulous!

[Freddyben]

Oh stop I'm fluching  but I think both translations are right, Thomas will tell us the truth but what I'm sure is that I heard this a few times and it sounds pretty common to me, I reckon it describes a sens of "franchise, clareté".

[Bettina]

I'm fluchig
Could you tell me please what does it mean?

[mamour]

I think it's fluShing ;)rougir

[Bettina]

Yes, you're probably right. I was far to think that. For the word "rougir" I found: blush (turn red)-crimson and to become red.
Since you told me that's perhaps the word (to flush) he wanted to say, I looked for this and I found effectively:  flush  (nf) - rougeur (rougissement) In this case you have reason.
Thanks Mamour, now it's clear! but does he want to say: I'm flushing? It's not sure. I still wait for his answer.

[mamour]

often,when we receive many compliments we say:arrete tu vas me faire rougir!!that's probably that he wanted to say

[Bettina]

That's it. I hope he wanted to say that.

[mamour]

sure he did

[Freddyben]

Yeah sure I did guys, it's a kind of slang I think, I read it several times in a book written by an American author.
But to flush also means "tirer la chasse d'eau" but again we gotta look at the context to see what meaning is matching.

[Freddyben]

And I realize right now that in fact I did an orthograph mistake the first time I wrote "I'm flushing" it's clearly "flushing". Hey Thomas sould I say "a mistake of orthograph" or "an orthograph mistake" (I never know), thank you very much.

[Bettina]

Yeah sure I did guys, it's a kind of slang I think, I read it several times in a book written by an American author.

I imagine the situation... I understand "Je tire la chasse" but he means "Je rougis" or backword.This example is the best. I cannot stop laughing !

In the future I will think twice to use "I'm flushing"

[Freddyben]

Oh but I guess you gotta say "I'm flushing the toilet" to say "tirer la chasse d'eau" and I understand why you laugh, although I don't think there is a big deal here and I wouldn't get stumped on it (confused). 

[Bettina]

That changes all ! but it was very funny...
