Can someone help? I learnt what I thought was a beautiful French expression with 'comprendre' which meant basically "I am confused". It woud be in a form like "I am confused please explain it to me more".. with the verb comprendre.
This lesson reminded me of it but I cannot recall the precise syntax now! Anyone? Thanks!
Hi Jameson,
Like Jim, I think of
or
but neither would translate as 'I am confused'
Hi Jameson,
Is this what you are looking for?
C'est à n'y rien comprendre
Jim
Thanks for the answers. They are of course all super but I am not sure any fits my partial recall. Jim's answer is 'idiomatic' looking enough to come very close because it is not negating comprendre...and seems so very french.
Is it possible that the original poster is referring to: “J’ai du mal à comprendre” as a loose translation of “I’m confused”?
