Learn French with ASTERIX #72

Hi, I hope you are well. We will continue with Asterix and in fact we stopped here. So, you make fun of me Gaul, but I have to deal with you. Let's talk without cutting your hair in four, okay? So it was a first joke, it was a first word game. Asterix said to him, let's talk directly, let's be effective in our conversation, in our discussion. But of course it was a word game, it was an allusion to hair and we remember that there is a kind of absurd situation in the Roman camp. Just that, so it's in English, it's tumbleweed. I looked for the French term, I find a term, it's fluttering. It's written like that, fluttering, it would be ... wait ... But honestly, I have the impression that it is a Quebecois term. I have the impression that it is a Quebecois term. Personally, I have never seen this term fluttering, that's it, it doesn't tell me anything. And so there, this allusion to a Western, but it's not about straw, it's about hair, of course. Come on, the next vignette, we have Caius Benus who, once again, is furious, he is furious, he is red with anger. He blows a lead, he blows a cable, he's angry and he says, I don't want to talk about hair anymore, I don't want to talk about hair anymore. Okay, we stop talking about hair, we can't stand it anymore. When we can't stand something anymore, it means that we are really at the end, we can no longer manage these emotions and there is anger rising, we will explode. Okay, I can't stand it anymore, I don't want to talk about hair anymore. In fact, there is no expression, I can't stand it anymore. Sorry, I invented it, but there is no such thing, it's I don't want to talk about hair anymore. So yes, to describe Caius Benus there, he can't stand it anymore, he can't stand it anymore. We continue with the next vignette and there we have the reaction of Asterix. So Caius Benus just screamed, he just jumped like that on the beach, I can't stand it anymore, well not I can't stand it anymore, but I don't want to anymore. And Asterix says to him, since that's how it is, the beard, since that's how it is, the beard. And we have Panoramix laughing, no, don't go, Caius Benus, no, don't go, no, don't go. So again, this is a pun. In fact, Asterix makes puns related to the beard or the hair. He says, since that's how it is, the beard, the beard. So what is this expression, the beard? I prepared it for you. So the beard is an expression to show boredom or annoyance. It's a bit like the expression, that's enough, the beard, I'm tired of it, I can't stand it anymore. Okay, the one I just used, I can't stand it anymore, I'm tired of it, I'm tired of it. We stop, okay? I don't have enough patience anymore, I don't have enough patience anymore. Okay? That's enough, the beard. Except of course, literally, the meaning of the beard, that's it, and it's an allusion, it's a humorous allusion to the situation where the Romans have beards that grow at a glance. Okay? We literally see the beard growing. So, once again, to use a neutral term, Asterix is making fun of Caius Bonus. To use a familiar term, Asterix is making fun of Caius Bonus. Okay? He uses puns, but it's voluntary. He does it on purpose, it's voluntary. Okay? It's intentional. Since that's how it is, the beard. No, don't go! So Caius Bonus realizes that if he stops talking to Asterix, the story of the beard and the hair that grows continues and it's not going to solve the problem. So Asterix stops, because we see that Asterix was about to enter the tent. Asterix stops and says to him, Okay, but don't make fun of me anymore. So there, once again, we have a pun and we see the immediate reaction of Panoramix who continues to burst out laughing and it's even louder than before. Before it was just ... And now it's ... Okay? Really, he's laughing, he's laughing, he's having fun listening to the jokes, the puns of Asterix. And Asterix says, okay, but don't make fun of me anymore. So, literally, what does it mean to make fun of? What is it? I don't know if you see, but ... You see, that's my arm and there are hairs on my arm. And generally, the hairs grow more or less in one direction. And to make fun of, it would be to go against the hair. Okay? Caress in the direction of the hair and make fun of. Okay? So take to brush hair, literally, it means that we don't go in the natural direction of the hair. Okay? We go in the opposite direction of the natural direction of the hair. That's the literal sense. But in fact, the expression take to brush hair, it means to oppose or annoy someone by going against his ideas or by provoking him. Okay? So, to make fun of, to provoke someone, to be a provocateur, it would be to take someone to brush their hair. Okay? So it's clearly something negative. There is the idea a little bit of ... it goes against someone. But again, there is the idea of ​​hair and suddenly it's a humorous allusion to this absurd situation. Okay? But don't make fun of me anymore. And so, Panoramix can't help but laugh because the situation is hilarious for him. Hilarious. She is very, very funny. We go on. So is there going to be another pun? All this is beheaded. Let's talk. We ... talk. We listen to you. Sorry. All this is beheaded. Talk. We listen to you. And there, Panoramix can't take it anymore. So here we could say that Panoramix is laughing his ass off. Okay? He's laughing his ass off. That is to say that he can no longer control himself, he can no longer hold back from laughing and he really laughs hard. Okay? It's a laugh. It's not a little laugh, it's a big laugh. He laughs out loud. He is so taken by the humorous aspect of this situation that he comes to hit the ground with his fists. Why? Asterix continues with jokes related to hair and everything that is hair, face, beard, mustache, etc. He says, all this is beheaded. Talk. We listen to you. So what is beheaded? I have prepared a definition for you. Literally, it means that we have our hair in disorder. Okay? Me, for example, if I take off my hat. Okay? I really have ... There, for example, I am clearly beheaded. You see, I am beheaded. I have my hair a little bit in all directions, in disorder. All this is beheaded. Here we are not talking about hair. We say ... It's rather the meaning. It's an expression we use. We say, all this is chaotic. All this is confused. Okay? It's not ordered. It's not structured. No, it's not structured. It's a bit messy. It's a bit chaotic. It's chaotic. Okay? Chaotic is the adjective. Chaos is a name. Chaos is chaotic. So basically, what Asterix means is that until now, their conversation, their discussion is not structured. And so he uses the word, all this is beheaded. Okay? So we are not clear in our way of communicating. But again, it's ... We have the root hair. Beheaded. Hair. We have the root hair. And it's clearly a literal sense in connection with hair. So Asterix, again, is making fun of Caius Bonus. And so Panoramix can not resist. He laughs. We go on. We finished a page. And we will go on with the next sentence. And here we have Caius Bonus again who says, I admit defeat. Give me counterpoison and I give you freedom. I admit defeat. So I remind you that defeated is the past participle of the verb to win. Okay? When we beat someone, it means we dominated someone. We were stronger than someone. Okay? And there he says, I admit defeat. It means that I am defeated. I lost. Okay? Imagine that there was a football match between Asterix and Caius Bonus. Asterix, his team scored eleven goals. Eleven. And Caius Bonus, his team scored zero goals. Well, Caius Bonus would say, I admit defeat. I lost the football match. Okay? To be defeated. I admit defeat. To admit something, it means that we admit that something is true or that something happened. For example, yes, I admit it's me who ate all the cake. Okay? To admit something. I admit defeat. So I admit that, here, I lost. Give me counterpoison and I give you freedom. Give me counterpoison. We remember, the counterpoison is precisely a potion that can cancel the fact that the hair grows extremely fast or that the beard grows extremely fast. So it's the counterpoison. The basic potion was the poison and there it is the counterpoison. We could say it's the antidote, in a way. The antidote. To simplify. And I give you freedom. Give freedom. It means that there, technically, Asterix and Panoramix are captive. They are prisoners. Okay? As if they were in a prison. They are not free. And so there, he says, if you give me the antidote, if you give me the counterpoison, I will give you freedom. So you will be free again. You will no longer be captive. Here. We're going to stop here because we're already getting to eleven minutes. How do you say I defeated you in your language? If you can put the expression I defeated you or defeated, you can simply put the word defeated. And give me an expression in your mother tongue to say that. Like that, again, for the algorithm, it's cool. And it allows me to revise my vocabulary a little bit in several languages ​​or learn new expressions. So it's highly appreciated. Thank you very much. If you can leave a like, it's cool. And we'll see you in the next video. See you! Ciao!
