    Anyone speak french?

    If someone could tell me how to say, "I think you are very pretty" in french, I would be forever in their debt.

    Ok, I need to change it just a little. How would you say/pronounce,
    "You look beautiful tonight"

    Yo! what's that supposed to mean?

    I'm not too sure I would trust someone I didn't know to tell me how to say something in another language...

    (IF I spoke French....I would have told him that line from that Patti LaBelle song...Lady Marmalade....you know the line I mean... ...that would have been waaaaaaay funnier!)

    Ok despite my best efforts I cannot figure out how to pronounce that phonectically. I am pretty sure I can get the first part fine, but the last part is messing with me. Anyone care to right out the phrase how it would be said?

    i speak perfect french , btw when you speak french , try not to sound french from france . i grew up in montreal , 1/3 ppl speak english or both here .

    so is it for a man or for a woman , this can really change the sentence , also more info .

    you could just say

    t'est belle or t'est beau (if its a male) .

    or... je te trouve magnifique .
    or...tu est une vrai beaute .(dont forget that french has accents on the letter E ...3 to be precise ....so theres 5 ways to say the letter E)

    horrible , is this for a male , because if its not your saying that hes handsome and not that shes beautiful

    its " vous semblez belle ce soir " for female
    "vous etes beau ce soir " for male

    also 'semblez' means you "seem" ... i dont think that you wan them to think that only that day they "seem" nice .
