LEARN FRENCH IN 2 MINUTES - French idiom: Une fois toutes les lunes

Transcript of the video

Hi everyone, hope you're well.

Welcome to this new video in this small format where we see an expression in a few minutes.

Today, we're going to take a look at an expression that is :

once every moon.

Before I explain, don't forget to activate the French subtitles, so you'll understand the whole video. Are you ready? Let's get started.

So, once every moon is an expression that simply means very rarely.

This expression is used to talk about something that happens very infrequently, almost never.

I'm going to give you some context to help you understand the expression and, above all, so that you can use it yourself.

Here is a first context.

I'm almost a vegetarian, I only eat meat once every moon. That means that most of the time I don't eat meat and really, three times a year I'll go off the grid, I'll eat a little bit of meat.

Here's a second context, so you'll understand better.

I clean the house by myself. My husband only does the dishes once every moon.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this expression.

Don't hesitate to comment or suggest expressions you'd like me to explain or put into context.
