Sorry, Swing, you were a bit quicker than me. - Nicole-B, Apr 16, 2010

Sorry, cross posted :) - --Jen--, Apr 16, 2010

quicker one second ;) - swing, Apr 16, 2010

I didn't know there were many people excellent at French here :) - Fidalgo, Apr 16, 2010

I wouldn't say excellent Fidalgo. My French is "comme Ci, Comme Ça" . jejeje - Nicole-B, Apr 16, 2010

Hehe, comme ci, comme Ça is just about all I learned in 5 years at school learning French, along with 'Je ne comprends pas!' - --Jen--, Apr 16, 2010

My favourite phrase is "Je comprend, mais je ne parle pas." And yee, I think my Spanish now is better then French! Learning Spanish by myself was more helpful than learning French at school. - swing, Apr 16, 2010

Answer 2

Hi and welcome to the forum,

I think you are confusing languages. This is French for "so-so." In Spanish, we would say "asi asi".

You can say "menza-menz" in Italian. We are just trying to help you convey the fact that something is mediocre in as many languages as possible. - Nicole-B, Apr 16, 2010

To my Italian mother-in-law...everything was "menza-menz"!! :) - Nicole-B, Apr 16, 2010

Answer 3

Nametaken, we say "assim-assim" or "mais ou menos" in Portuguese.

com si com sa is in French as most of you said

It's written "Comme si comme ça" in french - Krama, Apr 16, 2010

Thank you very much Fidalgo! - --Jen--, Apr 16, 2010

Gracias, Krama. Swing has written it above. - Fidalgo, Apr 16, 2010

Answer 4

I think it's "cosí cosá". I don't hear this very often. I believe it comes from the Italian, and it's similar to so so in English.

It's quite interesting how similar French, Spanish and Italian are in this matter... I wonder what so-so is in Portuguese? - --Jen--, Apr 16, 2010

Answer 5

I think this is French! It means, so-so.

Answer 6

Hola,

I say "más o menos"...
