Merci Egrace - C'est plaisir vous voir


Merci = Thanks (Pronounced as Makh-si)
Ce est = It is (sayyy)
Plaisir = Pleasure (play-saikh)
vous = You (voo)
voir = see (woo-akh)

Vous which is used a pronoun you always comes before the verb which is 'Voir', in case you are using has/have (ai, a, avez, avons, ont) the pronoun comes before the has/have instead of the verb.

de rien mon amis. comment allez vous?

Dear fResco as we are here to help each other let me make a suggestion which may be corrected from someone who is better in French than me.

As far as I know the best answer for the question: Comment allez vous? is " Je vais bien, merci. It is not used Je suis bonne.

 

[francaise]

one piece of advice to french learners...Don't translate the whole phrase from English to french as both languages have their own structure. If you translate whole English phrase to french, then sometime result comes out something different which is wrong in french.

All the Best!
