Texting & dating apps: Making plans to meet by text

💬 To suggest an activity, put de plus the action after Ça te dit. For example, Ça te dit de manger ensemble ? "Fancy eating together?"

💬 French days of the week take a small letter. Writing samedi alone means "this coming Saturday"; to mean "every Saturday" you say le samedi.

💬 French needs no word for "on" before days. Samedi soir alone means "on Saturday evening", and le samedi would mean "on Saturdays".

💬 Ça va gains te "you" to mean "does that suit you?" With someone you'd address formally, it becomes Ça vous va ?

💬 Ça te va ? checks if a plan works for someone. The same words also ask whether clothes suit someone.

💬 Adding ça after a question word makes a quick, casual follow-up. It works the same way in Quand ça ? "When's that?"

💬 Au is à plus le merged, used before masculine words like café. With feminine words it stays apart: à la gare "at the station".

🇫🇷 The French write times on the 24-hour clock, with h standing in for heures "hours". In casual speech, people often just say sept heures.

💬 This is just a statement with a question mark, which is the normal way to ask in texts and speech. M' is me "me" shortened before a vowel and always attaches to the next word.

💬 French addresses put the number first with no comma, then rue "street" before the name.

💬 Put À before any time to say "see you then". For example, À demain means "See you tomorrow" and À ce soir means "See you tonight".

💬 Soirée is the evening as a span of time you spend, which is why it's used for wishes like this one. In the same way, bonne journée means "have a good day".
