"C'est oui !"

[multirodent]

"It is yes", now what kind of a phrase is that?

[Sitesurf]

• tu viens avec moi ?
• peut-être, je ne sais pas...
• alors, c'est oui ou c'est non ?
• c'est oui !

[jeffhauser]

I wrote "Yes it is!" thinking that made... more sense.

[deadberry]

it's like from "x factor" or another "got talent" lol
when a judge replies to the contestant, but in this case should be "it's A yes" I guess

[Theoursus]

I think it might supposed to mean "It is, yes!".

[Sitesurf]

No, rather "it is: yes!"

[epyion]

I feel like the correct translation should be: "That's right!"

[Goldenrook]

I put "That's a yes", but I guess that more of an idiom than the actual phrase.

[HappinessSam]

Same here. It should definitely be an option. At the least it's something English speaking people actually say, as opposed to 'It is yes'

[wotansp]

that made absolutely no sense

[greenkiwis]

There's got to be a better translation for this sentence.

[pacatrue]

C'est oui is a pretty common French phrase. I think that "It's true!" is a better translation into English. But, if you just map the words one for one, then their translation is of course good.

[cuddelzthecat]

Yeah, that's exactly the issue -- it's a common French phrase, which is rendered into a totally nonsensical English phrase. Mapping the words one for one produces something, but it's not a translation!

[hoctr]

I agree, stupid sentence!

[Xesante]

I've never heard anyone say "It's yes". What does this even mean

[KimThanh]

Yes, it is. In my opinion, it is absolutely right

[twindave]

I got it incorrect for writing "of course" :(

[cuddelzthecat]

In what possible English-language context would you utter "It is yes!"?!?

[natalialr]

Couldnt it be "this is right"?

[Sitesurf]

not really, "c'est oui" is an emphatic "yes", as a conclusion on a topic requiring a "yes" or a "no"

[axisdelasal]

Google translate, translate this phrase as yes it is

[cr8on]

I entered it into Google translate and it gave me "yes, it is."

[taylor-dalton]

ha ha ha i typed in stupid and got it right! wow
