The worst reply to "Mon père est mort" during a French speaking exam is "Bien", amirite?

Google Translate isn't helping me make sense of this. What?

(a nonny mouse): 'The worst reply to "My father is dead" in a French speaking exam is "Good", amirite?'
I did it in my French oral, didn't go down too well. Lolol.

Perhaps saying "Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?" would be a little worse...

hate to point this out, but 'mort' is a conjugation of a verb, and in the frenchlanguage you can't have two conjugated verbs in a row. this would've gotten my vote if 'mort' wasn't conjugated or if être was taken out of the sentence..

(Chamilé): mort is a noun, mourir is it's verb form, if doesn't say "my dad is dying" it says "my dad is dead"

(a Canadian): adjective not noun**
by Anonymous14 years ago
(Chamilé): "mon pere est mort" technically means "my father died."
"est mort" is the passe compose of the verb mourir, since "mort" is the past participle. But it also can be used as an adjective

(Chamilé): My God. Of course the french grammar nazi had to come, too.

Too bad the French grammar Nazi isn't actually correct.

(Chamilé): In that case ''mort'' is an adjective...French is my first language and im ready to give you 1000000$ if im not right.
by Anonymous14 years ago
well there's no way to tell that is isn't being said as 'my dad was dying' since 'est mort' is how you do the past tense of mourir...
by Anonymous14 years ago
(rachel!): since it's the passe compose version (perfect), it's an action that is finished - therefore, it means "my father died." If the phrase had been imparfait (imperfect), it would have said "mon pere mourait" which is translated as "my father was dying." Then you would be correct.

Actually it means: ''My dad is dead''
by Anonymous14 years ago
Not necessarily. Mort is the past participle of "mourir", which is the verb "to die." To form the past, you use "etre" - i.e. "est." It can also mean "my dad is dead," but it can mean "my dad died." I swear on my fucking life.

Bon, j'imagine que tu parles français, donc je vais répondre en français :)..
Tu as bien raison quand tu dis qu'il peut s'agir d'un verbe, mais dans cette phrase j'ai plus l'impression qu'il s'agit d'un adjectif, même si les deux sont bien possible.
Mon but était de répondre à Chamilié parce qu'il ne connaît rien au français apparamant.

At first I thought the joke was about bien being Spanish, but after reading the comments i understood and I figured bien was also French

I can't speak French, but I read that as "My DOG is dead." Close, so close.
by Anonymous14 years ago
To clarify.
It's meant to say "My father is dead", or words meaning exactly that. I said good. I failed the exam.
Enough said, stop commenting about it now.
