La Saint-Valentin Video
Bonjour!
I just watched the St. Valentine's video posted on the web site. Very funny! In the transcript below the video it says "elle cligne des yeux" and "je cligne des yeux". Shouldn't the article "les" be used instead? Listening to the video, I'm not sure if he says des or les.
Merci!

Bonjour Bruce !
The colloquial expression is indeed "cligner DES yeux" (= to blink), but I found that "cligner LES yeux" also exists to express "squinting", though we use more often "plisser les yeux" in this case.
À bientôt !
