"Too bad." It is used to indicate resignation, to say that it is not a big deal.

For example: The swimming pool is closed today. Oh well, we're going to go for a walk in the forest. Here we indicate that it's not a big deal, it's not very important that the swimming pool is closed.

"From there to." It means to the point of. It indicates that there is an exaggerated reaction.

Imagine, for example, you made a mistake and your friend is angry with you. You can say: "I understand that he is angry with me, but don't let him talk to me anymore." You indicate that it is very exaggerated of him to react this way, you think he is exaggerating.

"It doesn't matter." It means it doesn't matter. It's close to "too bad," which we saw just before.


"Quite what". When used alone, it means that we are expressing a doubt or an objection.


You see, here, we expressed a doubt. We had said no. In fact, finally, we want it, we use "quoi que" to show this doubt. We come back to what we said previously.

“On the other hand.” It marks an opposition between two things.

For example: The concert was great. However, the tickets were very expensive.

So we indicate the positive, the concert was great, and the negative, the tickets were very expensive. To show that there is opposition, we use "on the other hand".

"Like what". It means it proves that.

For example: They had predicted rain, but it was really nice today. Which just goes to show that you shouldn't always trust the forecast.

"Like what" shows here it proves that.

"If you like". It means if it interests you, if it suits you. We use it to propose something to someone.

For example: If you're interested, we could go try out the new restaurant in town. That is, if you're interested, would you like to do it?

"Why not?" It is used to respond to a proposition and to show that you are interested.

For example: Would you like to go bowling with me tonight? You can answer "why not" to indicate "yes, I'd like to."

"Sort of." It means yes, but not quite, more or less, almost.

For example :

- Are you a journalist?

– Sort of. I write articles for magazines, but I have less research to do than a reporter.

You see, the "sort of" here means yes, but not quite. It's used to qualify.

"Mieux vaut". It means it is preferable, it is advisable. We can also say "il vaut mieux". "Mieux vaut" and "il vaut mieux" mean the same thing.

For example: I have a long day tomorrow. Better go to bed early. It means it would be better if I went to bed early.

"Leave someone." This expression is used to indicate that you have to leave because you have something else to do, for example.

For example: I had a great evening, but I have to leave you, I'm getting up early tomorrow.

"It's clear." It means it's sure, it's obvious.

For example: He's super strong, this netherlands whatsapp number data soccer player. It's clear. That means it's obvious, no one can really say otherwise.

And finally, "on this". We use it to end a conversation, to say "well, that's the end".

For example: On that note, I'll leave you, I have to get back to work.
