Gee! Need Translation Assistance

Posted by happykat on January 23, 2007, at 18:26:22

Gee,

I was stuck in traffic behind a car with a Canadian license plate. Quebec of course. Although I see alot from Ontario too.

What does Je me souviens mean? I'm a curious kat as well as a happy one.

Thanks,
happykat :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm - as an Ontarian I should know that.
Je means I

I think souviens means something about remembering.

I know some French - not much at all

Why would their licence plates mean "I remember"

If I had my choice, mine would say "I wish to heck I remembered" !!! LOL Celexa did a real number on my memory!

hugs, Kath

Je me souviens is a hard one to translate, but basically it means I remember. But the souviens is a reflexive verb so literally I means more "I remember myself" and they're talking about all the seperatism... but let's not go into that...
