"Comment trouvez-vous mes nouvelles lunettes ?"

Translation: How do you like my new glasses?

[sablesden]

How do you find my new glasses?

[Ripcurlgirl]

The French do not say « Comment aimez-vous .... »

To quote an answer by Amine about the back-translation:

Because it doesn't make any sense in French. How do you like something? is typically English, and doesn't exist in French. If you ask Comment est-ce que tu aimes quelque chose ?, you ask for a description of the love for this thing, not of the opinion about this thing.

So « Comment trouvez- vous .... » is asking for your opinion = "how do you find .... "

[Sitesurf]

By the way, "comment est-ce que" should be avoided because "comment" has two syllables and only "qui, que, où and quand" can get "est-ce que".

I thought trouvez was find? In what situations can it mean like? I thought it was asking how you found my glasses - seems to make sense.

[CynthiaPee1]

Seems like it might mean, "How do you find my new glasses?" Find them suitable or ugly.

[RichardSho20]

How do you find my new glasses works in English too. Can also be used of people as in how do you find the new geography teacher.

[Linda4406]

Yes, "how do you find my new glasses?" seems a completely acceptable English translation of the French. Standard English and close to the French. More Duo-isms.

[PhotoJazz]

"How do you find..." is completely accurate and acceptable English, in this context. "How do you find the wine?" "I find that it is perfectly delicious."

[ThomsonJames]

"How do you find my new glasses" not an accepted answer though. Reported.

[CynthiaPee1]

Seems like this might mean how one might find my glasses. Is your opinion favorable or not.

[Ripcurlgirl]

That is the essence of the question, yes.

[mandykatz]

That's what I wrote!,,

[Wanda655505]

Why is "comment trouves-tu mes nouvelles lunettes" wrong???

[Wanda655505]

Ex that. I did not type what I heard.

[Ripcurlgirl]

Well, that's why ☺ Otherwise, the translation is correct.

[candresmia]

Trouvez is not find verb?

[Peter435682]

So i guess we have two ways of saying this basic question.

Comment trouvez-vous
Que pensez-vous de

[Nige788085]

"What do you think of my new glasses" should be accepted.

[flyings0lo]

"What do you think of my new glasses?" not accepted.
