C'est vrai? Oui ou non
C'est* pas vrai? Non ou si (si = c'est vrai) *forme écrite: Ce n'est pas vrai? "Oui" avec emphase n'a pas d'ortographie particulière. Mais "ouais" (du langage parlé) a le même sens que "oui", et je pourrait m'imaginer qu'on exprime avec ce mot une certaine impatience ou même emphase, tandis que "oui" sans adverbe est assez neutre. Pourtant on peut renforcer "oui" avec un adverbe comme par example "certainement", ou l'on peut dire "mais oui!" (qui peut être prononcé avec un i long et ton montant: "mais ouiiiiii !" - ce qui donne beaucoup d'emphase!) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Note that "si" in response to a negative statement or question is not used in Canada/Quebec. When I told my
québécois language partner that people say that in France he thought I was joking - he would just say something like "mais ben oui". 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Ok then, that's helpful to know, I'll keep that in mind. I hope that the french I learn will be intelligible by the quebecois, and vice versa, though I had heard somewhere that France French is understood easily by Quebecois, but the other way around, not so much.
I will, thanks, I wasn't aware of that resource, and now I am. Edited by BobbyIronsights on 11 October 2012 at 8:27am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Fortunately our very own Arekkusu has written a textbook on Quebec French so you can learn it, too! Though you'll have to wait until your France French is good enough to understand the textbook. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
