Comment était ton weekend, guys?
How do you say weekend in french?

well, there are two ways:

There's "week-end" but am sure mas masabtan sa tanan ang "fin de semaine". which is a literal translation of weekend as in the "END" of the week. For the french, the weekend is saturday and sunday because their calendars start on a monday man gyud, not like our calendars.

[FAQ]

I used to live in Montreal for a couple years when I was a kid , so I just thought I should offer something I've learned . Hehe

comment ta le vous(komong ta lé vooo) - How are you(Formal)

Comment ça va(komong sa va) - How are you(informal or casual)

Comment ca va (Kome sa vah) is more popular . Well at least for francais canadien (french canadian) .

Comment ca va = How is it going

Then , you'll get a response either ca va (sa vah) which means "It goes" or "it's going" (just assume they're doing good) and they might add bien means "well", or "good" (add them up: ca va + vien = it goes well! YAY!) or maybe ca va pas (sa va pah) means "it goes not well" for not good .. Some people might reply , ca va merci means "it goes (or with bien) thank you"

Comment va tu = How you go (you don't have to use this , but use this if you want to be exact . In French , you don't say how they are like "How are you")

je m'appelle (zhe ma pel) - my name is

comment vous appelez-vous(komong voo zaplé voo) - What is your name(literally translated, how do they call you)

We don't really say Je m'applle . But either way works I guess .

Here , it's Je suis (Jeh swi) for "I am" . ex. Je suis FAQ . Well , je m'applle might be ok if you want to be unique I guess . I don't remember anyone saying "Je m'appelle" .

I feel cold. Or is it 'I am cold'?

How do you say weekend in french?

Both works if you say J'ai froid.

weekend = fin de la semaine (fin=end , de la=of the , semaine=week ... like James explained)

Comment était ton weekend, guys?

Ca va pas . Et toi ?
