I have a french/english egg joke for you.
Why can you never get more than one egg in a french restaurant?
Because one egg is un oeuf. (un oeuf sounds like enough). Haha. Hope you like it.
haha great one! :):)
Nuclear Chick my French teacher in high school taught us the pronunciation by saying “Un œuf is enough” 🙌
........" My Fer Lady" also was a news headline in the day as another example of a cross linguistic pun. It's of course Margaret Thatcher..
...now I think it was "My Fer Maiden" .
I simply love the french language. I am not giving up so easily 😁
yeah you're right! keep learning and making it part of your life :)
I gave up. But now I decided to come back and have one more try. [your comment made me laugh]
Sunny side up in Quebec is called "œuf miroir".
ah cool :):)
Or « œufs tournés » can be said in Quebec
I am sick and I skipped work and I am sitting in bed but this video made me feel so good and fun. Thank you for making such a pretty video!
ow thank you for your message, we're glad to hear that we help in that way too :) hope you feel better soon!
I heard somewhere that French chefs are renowned for the many ways they can prepare eggs. This being reflected in the number(100) of pleats in the chef's hat or 'toque'.
Thanks for making the french language so interesting and relevant. Keep up the good work.
ah interesting yeah there's definitly rules in making eggs the right way when you're a chef but I don't know much about it :)
thanks for your comment :):)
Génial ! Merci!
Très utile. Continuez votre bon travail.👌🏿👍🏿😊
merci ! :))
Merci! La vidéo est très instructive et bénéfique et elle m’a mis en appétit! Merci encore!
haha de rien ! :)
This was truly helpful because breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and also your video made me realize how I never learned these vocabulary words for egg preparations even after taking 4 years of French! lol 😂 Mérci a vous! 🤗☺️👍
Glad it was helpful! :):):)
Thanks that was useful, and not only for my French. 😊
Thanks for your videos. they are very interesting. Greetings from Colombia, S.A
thank you very much for you comments, it means a lot :)
Many thanks for the video. I was recently in Montreal, Canada, where you really do need to speak French!
I could not remember how to say scrambled eggs... but the waiter was kind enough to teach me the words.
By the way, your English is really excellent with a near perfect accent. Congratulations!
I will search your playlist to see if you have produced any videos about French cuisine and its vocabulary with a brief explanation for what the names mean. For example, your explanation for un oeuf cocotte.
I have two copines, both of whom speak French. Finally, I am making an effort to learn to communicate. They speak to me in French, and I answer in English. Time to answer in their language, French.. Luke, an Arizona cowboy.
ah cool, glad you enjoy our videos !
keep practicing and having fun with the French language :))
Thank you for a great lesson. I am working in a hotel and today I had a guest trying to order his breakfast in English and he was struggling, and I knew he is Russian so I said you can order in Russian. He was so happy. Anyway guest behind ask if he can order in French, I politely apologized and said all I know is Merci, Bon Apettite. So I wanna take his order in French tomorrow, that’s why I am here. Thank you.
aw that's a great story I hope we can help :)
here's a video we did on language around restaurants:
th-cam.com/video/l5h85nw-gbo/w-d-xo.html
it's mainly from the perspective of the client but I'm sure it can help you a little^^
Thank you for your work to post the videos...your easy to follow.🏆...and I appreciate when you slow down the pronunciation, on Instagram to...your a very beautiful young woman...you possess a warm heart..
thank you :)
Merci! C'est bien!
:)
Au Québec sunny side up is Oeufs au miroir
ah c'est cool comme nom :)
c'est peut être comme ça que ça s'appelle en France aussi par les professionnels
You are so lovely and charming!!! I love eggs and will certainly learn these variations!
Glad it helped! :)
Please watch this: th-cam.com/video/B-gSoXwFlIE/w-d-xo.html.
Very helpful, you have a new subscriber...thank you
Thanks for the sub! ☺☺
I also want to try an « oeuf cocotte » now! 😀
We have crème fraîche in western Canada, and we actually call it crème fraîche too (with Anglophone accents, of course!); you can find it in the dairy or deli sections of most supermarkets and large grocery stores. We have sour cream here too, which you can find in virtually every store (even convenience stores), but it has the texture of skim yogourt whereas crème fraîche is thicker. For those who can't find crème fraîche, it's super easy to make if you have heavy cream (like whipping cream), buttermilk, and a Mason jar.
ah cool interesting :))
"hard boiled egg" is really interesting. What I think I hear myself doing is a lot of elision: the "db" cluster merges into a gesture with a closed (but _not_ aspirated) d, lips closing onto a b just after, then tongue releasing and allowing the b to form when the lips open just after. Then the end of "boiled" plus egg is an ordinary elision resulting in something like "har(d+b)oil degg".
Casual spoken English does a _lot_ of contraction and elision; we just don't talk about it. Consider "Jeet jet?" (That's 'Did ya eat yet?')
un oeuil - I have so much trouble with that one and I finally found an example of how to pronounce it in an egg video mdr
I _still_ have trouble pronouncing oeuil but now I can work on it more :-) mbc pour le vidéo
ah cool de rien ! :)
@@Street_French a little mistake in the video... eye is written oeil (not "oeuil"). ;)
Bonjour hello 👋 your English is very good magnifique
J'ai atteint 30 secondes dans la vidéo et j'ai déjá appris quelque chose importante. J'ai jamais su que l'on pronounce pas le F dans des oeufs, mais on le pronounce dans l'oeuf. Cela me rappelle d'une blague en anglais. - Why don't the french eat two eggs? Because one is un oeuf (enough). j'ai jamais dit que ce serait une blague marrante :)
haha it's a pretty good one, I never heard it before^^
and glad it helped :))
Fun fact: the word cocktail probably comes from the coquetier, supposedly because it served as a little recipient/glass. The œuf cocotte is one of the few versions you can find in a restaurant as a dish and not in the children's menu. Cheers!
ah interesting :)
In America, we also use the term "creme fraiche" for creme fraiche. Depending on who you talk to, though, the pronunciation may be more or less mangled.
ah yeah thank you I didn't know that when I was filming :)
@@Street_French But note that sour cream in the US and crème fraîche are different products. Sour cream has a stronger flavor. Many supermarkets here sell both. And many of us do mangle the pronunciation :-)
👍👍👍gracias!!
de nada!
J’aime beaucoup les oeufs sunny side up avec des grits du fromage et cream et les saucissons en style de New Orleans.
Merci pour cette video 👏👍Can you please make a video for meat, potatoes, vegetables? Keep up the good work 🍖🥔💯
ah we made a video about how to order meat a while ago, you can check it out :)
th-cam.com/video/nIVupY4gxao/w-d-xo.html
Ouf, je viens de la voire (quand j'ai lis quelque d'autres commentaires). Merci pour vos vids.
de rien ☺☺
Very popular and common in the US is to flip "un œuf au plat" over to cook both sides. We call it "over easy", do you have this in France or how would you say it in French? It's typically referred to as a fried egg. Thank you for your time.
quelle est la chanson que vous utilisez pour cette vidéo?
What about over easy vs over medium?
actually I've never even seen over easy eggs before meeting Charlie. I don't know if we make it in France and I don't think there's a term for it. I would say "aller-retour" or "retourner l'oeuf" .... I don't know haha
@@Street_French I like my eggs "over hard", so I guess I would say "un oeuf retourné, dur"?
@@DrewMakepeace yeah I think you need to explain how to make it, because I don't think we make eggs like that here haha. so retourné et bien cuit, would work I think
@@Street_French Yes exactly! I spent a good five minutes the other day trying to get my boyfriend to tell me how you say to flip the egg over, and we finally realized it's because you don't do it! Pourtant c'est si bon quand c'est tout grillé et croustillant à l'extérieur et coulant à l'intérieur ! ;) ;)
Il y a un restaurant s'appelle L'Ambroisie en Place de Voges qui prepare un oeuf mollet frites avec toast truffe!
On dit que les cents pliers dans le chapeau de chef son't pour les cents preparations des oeufs!
ah cool merci pour l'adresse! :)
I'm new on your channel so perhaps you have this covered already. If so my apologies!
I still have a hard time with 'I need', I would like', 'i want', or is " Yes! 3 croissants, svp" OK for anything less than the E'lysee Palace (which I haven't been envited to yet!!)
Thanks!
Hi from the UK, excellent channel, I go to France quite often and have been trying to learn French for about 6 months, the problem I'm having is that I think I'm doing ok with the words and phrases that I have learnt but when a French person speaks back to me I don't understand a single word they are saying, it all seems so fast, any tips please?
We'll be making a series about French phonetics soon, but yeah it's because everything sounds connected, it's important to hear French a lot, after a year you'll get better, but it's just practice really :)
Do you have cable or satellite? If so, you might be able to get French TV like TV5Monde. I haven't had satellite for a couple years, but I think they still have the evening French newscasts from France 2, and they're subtitled. It's a really good way to get your ear used to hearing French at a normal speed, but I recommend the newscasts in particular in the beginning because the news anchors speak very clearly and enunciate very well. And if you know what's going on in the world news-wise, then you will recognize certain words, and with the images, you will have some idea what they're talking about, and context helps comprehension. I did that about 25 years ago and I went from catching one word out of 10 to being able to understand everything while listening to it from the kitchen while I cooked dinner. It really helps. They have other subtitled shows and movies as well. So I found it to be a good resource. Paired with your trips to France, I think you will find it helpful.
If you have Netflix, it also has some French shows and movies which you can watch in French with subtitles. I like the series "Call My Agent" (Dix pour cent). There's an absurd comedy series called "A Very Secret Service" (sorry, can't remember the French title), and others. Just Google Netflix French series and you can find title keywords to search for on Netflix. Note that for me, the default audio was dubbed English, so I had to go in and change it in the audio and subtitles preferences.
Actually, I haven't tried it in a few months, but I think France Télévisions (France 2, France 3) also lets you watch the daily French newscasts on their website, you just have to dig a bit to find it. I did it from the web browser built in to my Xbox when Notre Dame burned so I could find out what was going on in real time.
Basically, you just have to listen to French at any opportunity as much as possible. And when in France don't be afraid to say "Je suis désolé(e), je suis anglais(e), est-ce que vous pourriez le répéter plus lentement s'il vous plaît ?" People are generally helpful and appreciate the effort.
It all sounds connected because you simply don't not know enough words, yet! Once you can hear actual 'words' you know it will make more sense to you. But this is true for any language!
The joke about English is: that it is just 60% badly spoken French!
And for this I always think of the word CASINO! Same spelling and meaning in each language but VERY DIFFERENT pronunciations!!!
how do say over easy, over medium and well done (over hard) in French?
How do you say overheard egg in French?
What avout over easy? Over hard?
merci. I am going to bake some eggs now. Great idea.
ah cool :)
So am I -- my version of shirred eggs. Don't have heavy cream which she mistakenly thought was sour cream in the video, so I'm going to use sour cream as she said.
@@stevekollen1672 Please watch this: th-cam.com/video/B-gSoXwFlIE/w-d-xo.html. I encourage you to do so as well, Kat.
How about "over easy" or "over hard"?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Coucou Maia. Ouais t’as raison. Crème fraîche est ‘sour cream’ en anglais. J’adore les œufs surtout pour petit dej. C’est bien aussi pour faire des quiches. .... miam 😋. Merci pour ces astuces. Bon continuation. Bises
ah merci :)
Hey! Thank you for clearing this up for me, it is always so confusing lol Ps The last one is called scrambled eggs in English :)
ah yeah thank you^^
What about over easy egg? how to say that in French?
We've actually never seen that here in France :)
What about eggs over easy?
I have always heard “deux oeufs sur le plat” - not “au plat.” Are they interchangeable or is one more Belgian French?
Speaking of eggs, when I went to Paris years ago, the first restaurant I went to had "hamburger au cheval" on the menu, and I *really* misinterpreted that.
Look out when cooking shirred eggs, they will blow up in the microwave! I tried it and the egg exploded, leaving a huge mess. Bake them or get a special container specifically for this dish in the microwave.
What what if want your eggs over easy? This is THE best way to order your eggs 😉
ah yeah I don't know if we have a term, recently I've heard that they say "oeuf miroir" in Quebec. So maybe it works in France. But not sure everyone understands though
@@Street_French Donc est-ce que ça veut dire que personne commander des œufs "over easy" en France???
The Anglophones just call it crème fraîche but pronounce it like “cream fresh”. Crème fraîche not only has more fat content (30% in comparison to 20% in sour cream) but it also has richer flavor than sour cream
ow ok ok thanks :)
Americans may pronounce it ‘cream fresh’, but almost all British English speakers pronounce it more similarly to the French
Isaac Khan WRONG !!!
I’ve watched a number of British cooking shows and there are Brits who also pronounce it like “cream fresh” or their pronunciation of French pastries is still very Anglicized (no gluttural French R)
And hence, it’s a stupid misconception that only us Americans are the only ones mispronouncing French works.

th-cam.com/video/i7YXV89K9OE/w-d-xo.html
How do you say "over easy", it is an egg cooked on the top but the yolk is still runny
ah yeah that's a good question. I think we don't do that in France so I don't know if we have a name for that. I've never seen anyone do that before meeting Charlie who's american ^^
That could be the œuf mollet.
In Québec we say 'un oeuf tourné'.
What's your name if you don't mind me asking?
Her name is in her channel's description.
it's funny how 'enough' sounds like 'unoeuf'
yeah kinda you're right haha
I tried that and they brought me pizza with undercooked eggs and anchovies on it.
haha what did you order ?
@@Street_French I thought I was ordering eggs, no idea what I exactly said, maybe something with fromage. Haven't been to Paris in a couple of years. :-/ At least I didn't starve.
no omelette du fromage??
haha I didn't know about that, Charlie explained the joke to me when I saw it so many times in the comments haha I used to watch that cartoon but in French haha
Is it not "omelette au fromage"?
Why would anyone want an egg with a white was still runny?.
I have no clue lol
Alors, des oeufs brouillés c'est.
Masala omelette, plain omelette, fried eggs
Bon par contre c’est un « œil » pas « oeuil »
"Tricky to pronounce"?
Roblox taught us how to say eggs in french already.
....... potatoes would be another candidate. Probably you've already covered it. No need to touch on freedom fries,, that was merely an ignorant president. In fact the french fries of the anglosphere isn't actually a French dish.
ah great idea for potatoes :))
and yeah I guess the whole french fries/freedom fries is just nonsense, we don't really care about that in France
I hope you DON'T drop an egg into boiling water to make a poached egg!!!
You SLIDE the unshelled egg into the gently boiling water---- GENTLY---from a saucer or a cup! At water level! Don't just drop it in from any height!
Please!!!
(Otherwise you will have a mess with the albumin, or egg white.)
