"Tu bois ton jus de fraise."

Translation: You are drinking your strawberry juice.

Is strawberry juice a thing???? Never heard of it.

[Daniel589120]

Okay, take one part frozen strawberries, one part fresh strawberries, one half part lime juice, and eight parts rum. Now its a thing!

[Kevin968039]

Uh, isn't that too many "parts" ? (Mathematically speaking)

[Daniel589120]

Yes it is, we are over by half a part, but the lime juice is optional!

[Mia_Compton]

Ha! I'm gonna do that. Merci beaucoup!

[Karlanthony69]

Ha ha lool

[Kevin968039]

Ditto

Since, clearly, more than one strawberry is needed to make strawberry juice, why isn't it "fraises"?

[patrick.conley]

For the same reason the English phrase isn't "strawberries juice": "juice" is usually treated as an uncountable noun.

[smatprabby]

Thanks for your reply, but my question was not about the word "juice." My question concerns the French preposition "de," which refers to the juice "of" or "from" strawberries--plural--not the juice of strawberry--singular; hence my question. In English we do, indeed, say, "apple (or other fruit) juice," but when we use the preposition "of" or "from" in that context, we use the plural form of the fruit.

"You drink your strawberry juice" was not accepted. Could you explain why? In my experience "are ing" is interchangeable with "" in French

[Daniel589120]

This one is a hard one, "You drink your strawberry juice" sort of sounds awkward. It is like it is missing an object to be a complete statement, like "You drink your strawberry juice in a cup" or "You drink your strawberry juice every morning". If it was missing the possessive then "You drink strawberry juice" sounds more reasonable. "You are drinking your strawberry juice" just sounds like a complete stand alone phrase that properly translates from the French.

[smatprabby]

There is nothing awkward about "You drink your strawberry juice." It's a complete statement, not missing anything, a perfectly acceptable English sentence.

Tu bois ton jus de FRAISES est refusé !!! A ce que je sache, on ne fait pas de jus avec une seule fraise...

[margaret400859]

Could it be imperative? Drink your strawberry juice

[AmineHadji1]

No, it cannot. In an imperative sentence in French, we don't use the pronouns. It would have been Bois ton jus de fraise = Drink your strawberry juice

[Ange335]

and why not 'tu bois ton jus de la fraise'? Doesn't it need article 'la'?

[margaret400859]

Thank you

[Steelrailsc.p]

Was "You are drinking strawberry juice" acceptable?

[bbspeak]

I'm still confused over when it is "you are drinking" and when it can be "You drink"

[Sharon810537]

Why not tu bois votre jus de fraise ? Why ton and not votre?

[excellence2018]

I think that the use of votre here will require a change of subject to "vous" and its appropriate verb conjugation "buvez":

"Vous buvez votre jus de fraise."
