  • GT says: Il ne faut pas me tutoyer = You don't have to talk to me

    From Hen Hanna@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 24 12:27:58 2022
    (GT= Google.Translate)

    According to M. le Google:

    Il ne faut pas me tutoyer = You don't have to talk to me

    That last statement was so unbelievable that I had to go and check it
    for myself. You're right, and Google Translate is wrong. It doesn't mean
    that at all, and I can't guess how GT picked up the false meaning. <<<

    i wouldn't call it [wrong] or [false] --- it's just that tutoyer is difficult to translate into English.
