How to Say ‘You're annoying as fuck!’ in French

Tu fais chier!

tyoo fay shee-ay

[tyoo fay shee-ay]

💬 Usage Tip: With [faire chier], the person bothered goes before the verb: [tu me fais chier], [ça nous fait chier]. Here [tu fais chier] means [you are being a pain] in a more general way.

🇫🇷 In France: A direct personal insult, harsher than complaining about a situation with [ça me fait chier]. It is something you say to someone, not just about bad luck.

What Learners Are Saying

Moved to Lyon for a culinary apprenticeship. The food and restaurant scenarios were exactly what I needed — my French colleagues were genuinely impressed.

Tom H., 38, Chef

Studying in Paris and the academic French I learned in school was useless for daily life. This app filled the gap in weeks, not months.

Nina W., 29, Graduate Student

Learning a language has never been as immediately impactful. Now I can charm the locals and navigate the food scene like a boss.
