Très? Beaucoup? Trop? Which word should you use to describe the amount or quantity of something? Well, it depends on what you want to say! In today’s French vocabulary lesson, we’ll look at the differences between these three words and the rules on when to use them in French.
Basically, très means ‘very’, trop means ‘too much’, and beaucoup means ‘a lot’. In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to use each word when describing adverbs, feelings, and more.
With love from Grenoble, France.
Géraldine

    Due to the Lousiana being a fomer French territory some words like beaucoup are still said in Louisiana and actually became a slang word among the black community across the U.S. in the 1990s. I always knew the meaning of the word before I knew it was a French.

    Salut Géraldine! J’ai pensée avant que les adverbes très et trop n’ ont pas la meme signification. L’ adverb très exprime une intensité tandis que l’adverbe trop exprime une quantité excessive et négative. Par exemple: 1)Il fait très froid. - Il fait vraiment froid. 2) Il fait trop froid. - C’est vraiment désagréable, mauvaise. 3) Il mange beaucoup. - Il mange vraiment beaucoup 4) Il boit trop. - Ce n’est pas raisonnable! Désolée que je n’ai pas pu répondre tout de suite sur le chat. Est-ce que vous pouvez me l’expliquer. Merci en avance .... 😊

    @@alexysq2660 En effet, le premier sens de "trop" est too [much] , c'est excessif. Mais Géraldine a bien précisé qu'il y a une utilisation en français familier qui ne signifie plus "too" mais "très très" (so). Much more than very, but not too much. Personaly, i don't like this use, but... i've no power on familiar language. :)

    "Ce TGV va trop lentement!" It seems like this sentence is ambiguous, as it could have the literal meaning of "This TGV is going too slowly" or the colloquial meaning of "This TGV is going so slowly". They are similar meanings, but not the same. Is there a way of saying "so slowly" that can't be mixed up with "too slowly"?

    Please excuse me for correcting your pronunciation, Géraldine, but in English, the word "adjective" is stressed on the first syllable. Anywhere else, and it is not understandable. It sounds like you're saying "objective," which is stressed on the the second syllable.
