| Hi, everybody! Welcome back to Top Words. |
| My name is Lindsay, and today we're going to be talking about the Top 10 Phrases to Never Use in a Relationship. Let’s begin! |
| PHRASE 1 |
| The first phrase is ... |
| [Normal] Tu as changé. [Slow] Tu as changé. |
| "You've changed." |
| This means that you don't recognize your partner anymore... |
| PHRASE 2 |
| [Normal] Il est où le problème? [Slow] Il est où le problème? |
| "What's the big deal?" |
| Wow, this sounds like a declaration of war. |
| PHRASE 3 |
| [Normal] Ta grammaire n'est pas correcte. [Slow] Ta grammaire n'est pas correcte. |
| "Your grammar is incorrect." |
| ...that's upsetting. I mean everyone can make mistakes, but you don’t need to point it out! |
| PHRASE 4 |
| [Normal] Tu es tellement... [Slow] Tu es tellement... |
| "You're so..." |
| Try to complete the sentence by yourself! |
| PHRASE 5 |
| [Normal] Il faut qu'on parle. [Slow] Il faut qu'on parle. |
| "We need to talk." |
| This sentence reeks of a break up! |
| PHRASE 6 |
| [Normal] Du calme. [Slow] Du calme. |
| This means "Relax." and sounds pretty haughty, so never use it in a fight! |
| PHRASE 7 |
| [Normal] Ça m'est égal. [Slow] Ça m'est égal. |
| "Whatever." |
| This is only ever used when you don't care anymore. |
| PHRASE 8 |
| [Normal] Non mais comment tu conduis? [Slow] Non mais comment tu conduis? |
| "How the hell are you driving?" |
| Use this if you want to argue. |
| PHRASE 9 |
| [Normal] Je gagne plus que toi. [Slow] Je gagne plus que toi. |
| "I earn more than you." |
| This is for all the proud breadwinners who want to piss off their partner! It’s also a surefire argument-starter…. |
| PHRASE 10 |
| [Normal] Qu'est-ce que tu portes? [Slow] Qu'est-ce que tu portes? |
| "What are you wearing?" |
| It's useful if you want to make your partner feel inappropriate. |
| PHRASE 11 |
| [Normal] Ne t'approche pas de mon téléphone. [Slow] Ne t'approche pas de mon téléphone. |
| "Stay away from my phone." |
| Don’t say this, unless you are really hiding something! |
| PHRASE 12 |
| [Normal] Je te déteste. [Slow] Je te déteste. |
| "I hate you." |
| This is straightforward and doesn't need any explanation, right? |
