sorry another question here I forgot to ask...

1. when I was in France and I was say, ordering food and wanted something off the menu but without an ingredient (e.g a pizza without the egg) I would say 'pas de' , for example '' un pizza pepperoni , mais pas de ouefs''. But now it has occurred to me, should I have said 'sans' instead? like un pizza pepperoni mais SANS des ouefs?
whihc one is better and sounds more like what a French native speaker would say ?

2. Is it patronising/rude to call a waitress 'mademoiselle' ? I did this once as in 'excusez-moi, mademoiselle' and almost instantly felt like I shouldn't have. (not that the waitress did anything to make me think I shouldn't have, I was just unsure) .The waitress was undoubtably only about 20, but then I am only 22 myself, is this a polite way of addressing someone??

again many thanks for any help

hi all, i am trying to learn French for an upcoming move and am trying to be self-taught as much as possible before doing lessons (not least because budget is an issue)

I have a couple of questions about French particularities of language, I have a feeling thse may be the first in a long line lol, here we go....

1. Is it true that 'nous' in French can mean 'you' (more than one person) as well as 'we'...(me and these people), that could be mighty confusing if true.

2. In French lessons at school I was taught to say just 'ou est' and 'ou sont' , in questions about where things are...online transltors tell me to put 'la' in front, for example ''la ou sont les magasins'', ''la ou est le commissiariat de police' etc , WHICH IS CORRECT??!

3. is there some kind of rule for which type of things have which gender in French (for example le maison or la maison) or is it just random, and you have to learn pretty much by heart which gender every noun is?

I hope people can help?

When people say "wow you are looking good"?

It does not necessarily mean you are good looking I guess?

I'm from the U.S. and I've been hearing that more and more people from the Philippines are learning English and that it is commonly spoken as a second language. I've also heard that it is common for the youth the speak Taglish (mixing of words and phrases from both Tagalog and English). I also found in somewhat strange at first that Yahoo! Philippines is only offered in English. Do Filipinos now prefer to speak English as their main language, or is it just the language they learn to get ahead in life?
