Happy Chocolate Egg Day!

As the title says...

Or: Happy Easter!

How do you say "Happy Easter" in France? I'm sure Easter is "Des Paques" (sp?) or something like that.
There goes my bad/rusty French

Joyeuses Pâques, Grim.

Not "Joyeux"?

Merci, mon gar

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 16 Apr 2006, 08:44

Nope. Pâques is a feminine word. So it's "Joyeuses".
De rien, mon gars.

Gah.. wrong again

How come its "gars" if you're only referring to one person?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 16 Apr 2006, 09:22

Because the "s" is just a part of the word. It doesn't mean it's plural.
Just like "Fils" can mean both "son" and "sons".

Anyway, let's close the dictionary. Happy Easter everyone.

Happy Easter everyone.

With the title of the thread I thought that Grim might've been trying to be a PC dickhead, but he mentions Easter in the first post so that's cool.

Ah easter.... the day we celebrate the death of Jesus Christ ...

BTW, who else just waits a week with their easter eggs buying, just so they'll be for sale at dump-price, so you can buy more!?

Yi, you cheap %£#... !

My girlfriend has planted chocolate eggs in my garden this morning.
She wanted to know why I had planted shrimp in my backyard last night (it's for my cats)

I'm waiting till next week, maybe Cadbury's Mini eggs go on sale.. lovely

I thought Easter was celebrating the resurrection of Christ?

Yi did you get any eggs? I got 1 big Tesco Finest Egg and one large box of Lindt Lindor chocolate things.

Tom: you should leave the chocolate eggs burried in yard. Next year: Chocolate-egg trees!

Grim: I didnt get ANY chocolate eggs! But it's ok cause I know my girl is going to use her egg-budget next week, when they're on sale, so it just means MUCH more eggs!

For me, Easter and Xmas always come one week late. Growing up 'poor' (western poor) does that for ya

Tom: why the hell DID you plant shrimp in your yard for your cats? Do they prefer dirt on their food? What kind of sick, twisted animal-hating frenchie are you!?!?

It is indeed. Christ was crucified on Good Friday.
