🗣️ IPA: / a vo swɛ /
🇬🇧 Bless you
____

REGISTER

📖 Formal
____

DEFINITION

The literal meaning is:

• À → To
• Vos → Your
• Souhaits → Wishes

It's the most classic way to say "Bless you" in French after someone sneezed. And it seems to come from the middle ages when sneezing was one of the first symptoms of the plague. So it was basically a way to say "I wish you not to be sick"

HOW TO USE

If you have to show some respect or be formal with the sneezing person, like a professor or an old person: use "À vos souhaits". But if it's a family member, a friend or someone that you are familiar with, you can use: "À tes souhaits".

Same principle if the person sneezes a second time, use: "À tes amours" (Literally: To your loves) for the informal situation and "À vos amours" for the formal one.

For the third sneeze, in both situations you can say: "Qu'ils durent toujours" → May they (the loves) last forever.

"Ok but what if the person sneezes a fourth time?"😉

Wow... that's rather unlikely! But if it happens, there is nothing special to say. Even though... if you really want to be funny, I heard a few times in this situation: "Que le bon Dieu te bénisse, et qu'il te change en pain d'épices" (Literally: May the good god bless you and turn you into gingerbread.)

FUN FACT🤗

As a joke, you can also use "À vos/tes souhaits" when someone mispronounced something or didn't talk clearly, like if this person sneezed.

For example, if a friend mispronounced "Eiffel" and says: "J'adore la Tour Eirrel" (I'm fond of the Eirrel Tower) then you can tell her/him: "À tes souhaits !".

SYNONYMS

• À tes/vos souhaits. ("Literally: To your loves → Bless you")
• À tes/vos amours. ("Literally: To your loves → Bless you")
• Que le bon Dieu te bénisse, et qu'il te change en pain d'épices. ("Literally: May the good god bless you and turn you into gingerbread")

Bon weekend à tous!!!
Aujourd’hui nous considérerons l'importance de réfléchir avant de parler.

we will consider the importance of thinking before speaking.

Thinking before you speak is a really good habit to develop, to avoid causing trouble in your life, whether in your relationships, career or elsewhere.
THINK can help you take control, make good decisions, talk less and listen more. THINK stands for True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary and Kind.
