"I speak of the French people. Â*They are cold."
Is that what you meant to say? |
 nope... been a few years. I thought I said, "I speak some french. That is very cold". Isn't du the tense for some and très means very so you gotta give me that one at least. Or are you just trying to **** with my head? |
"Du" can be used in substitution for quantitative things like "Je mange du poisson" or "I eat some fish". However if you wanted to say that you spoke some french, it would be more idiomatic to say "Je parle un peu de francais" or "Je parle francais un peu".
"Tres" does mean "very" but in the context in which you used it, following a sentence like "I speak of the french", "C'est" would be translated as "they are". When talking about cold in the sense of weather you would want to use the "faire" verb as in "Il fait froid", but being past tense it would be more like "Il faisait froid"
Stick with me and I'll have you speaking proper French in no time at all.
