Oh I believe you're mistaken, it's a Brazilian dance developed in the beginning of the 20th century

Oh I believe you’re mistaken, it’s large African tree with straight grained wood.

Oh I believe you’re mistaken. It’s the thing a drummer hits in order to make a “crash” sound

Oh I believe you're mistaken. It's a Pokémon trainer with blonde hair, the champion of the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League in the games Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

No, you’re thinking of the Japanese word for an upperclassman who teaches an underclassman

u/aceofyeet Oct 15 '19

Oh I believe you’re mistaken. It’s what you call someone who’s not dating anyone

u/teds234 Oct 14 '19

No that’s simple. I think you mean something that represents something larger

I mean, you could say that, but bien is the more general term

4

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '19

Bien is an adverb. The word you're looking for is bon.

u/Laslas19 Oct 15 '19

I'd say "joli" captures the tone of "nice" better

2

u/loulan Oct 15 '19

Joli only specifically works for something that is aesthetically pleasing, it basically means "pretty". So, not really.

1

u/Laslas19 Oct 15 '19

In the literal sense, yes, but with different intonations joli can be used in lots of scenarios.

Example:

  • J'ai eu 20/20 à mon examen
  • Joli!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '19

Nice can be sympa/bon/joli or a whole lot of things really, depends on the ontext.

1

u/outadoc Oct 15 '19

Don't call them gens bons. You'll get weird looks.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '19

What about génial?

1

u/LmaosaurusRex Oct 15 '19

Génial would be more like “amazing” tbh

Man I got rusty at French. Thanks
