French language Q&A Forum

I momentarily thought i had spotted a mistake: 'Chuck Berry avait vraiment le rythm dans la peau' (peau = skin), but apparently it's a french idiom, we say 'in his blood', the french say 'in his skin'. I was momentarily confused by it:

Hi,

Can I say like below also insted of "Patrick va mal en ce moment."

Patrick sent mal en ce moment. (Patrick is feeling bad right now )

Regards,

It would be a closer translation I think to say "goes with" in English. As English uses "to go" in the exact same way as french. E.g., "that shirt goes with my sister", is a closer translation than "that shirt suits my sister". In my opinion, as it maintains the "to go with" lineage in its meaning. 

I was wondering if "je préfère rester dedans" would be an acceptable response?

why do you say 'jeter un coup d'oeil rapide'? Doesn't coup d'oeil already imply a quick look ? 

I heard "Nous avons tous les deux nos carte Avantage". "Nos" instead of "Une". Is there a typo in transcription?

How is if possible to know exact punctuation in dictations when none is given? Why is not just the French which is corrected? What a wind up.
