Team meetings at work: Asking someone to repeat or clarify a point

💬 French links nouns with de where English just stacks them: "team meeting" becomes réunion d'équipe, literally "meeting of team". Before a vowel de shrinks to d' and joins the next word.

💬 Passer à here means "to move to" or "switch to", a handy way to talk about rescheduling. Au is à + le squeezed into one word.

💬 L' is le shortened before a vowel and can't stand alone; it always joins the next word.

💬 Le before a day can mean "every" (le mardi "on Tuesdays") as well as one specific Tuesday, so context matters. That's exactly the kind of point worth checking in a meeting.

💬 French uses le where English says "in the": le matin "in the morning", le soir "in the evening".

💬 Demie ends in e because it agrees with heure, but after midi or minuit it's spelled demi. Both sound the same.

🇫🇷 Work schedules in France usually use the 24-hour clock in writing, so a 2:30 meeting appears as 14h30 in an email or calendar.

💬 D' is de shortened before a vowel; it can't stand alone. Casually people often just say d'acc or OK.

🇫🇷 Repeating the key detail back before saying d'accord is a common, natural way to confirm you've understood in a meeting.

💬 Toutes les + a time word means "every": tous les jours "every day", toutes les semaines "every week". It's tous for masculine words and toutes for feminine ones.

💬 Add a number to say "every so many": tous les trois mois "every three months".

🇫🇷 A polite way to check a time or plan suits someone, typical when a colleague or manager proposes a slot. With close coworkers you'd hear Ça te va ? instead.

💬 C'est + any describing word is a reusable reaction: c'est noté "noted", c'est clair "that's clear".

💬 Précision usually means a clarification or extra detail here, not "precision" in the sense of accuracy.

🇫🇷 A polished, slightly formal "you're welcome" that suits a work setting. Among colleagues you know well, De rien is more relaxed.

💬 French often uses the present tense for something about to happen: je vous envoie means "I'll send you". The vous "you" sits before the verb, not after it.

🇫🇷 Following up a spoken change with an email is standard in French offices, so it's normal to expect written confirmation after a meeting.

🇫🇷 Super is friendly and common at work, but it leans casual, so it fits colleagues better than a very formal exchange.

🇫🇷 The standard sign-off when leaving a meeting or ending a call in the morning or early afternoon. Later in the day people switch to Bonne soirée "Have a good evening".
