Sorry for the low quality of the video. I don't know what happened with my camera :/ Don't forget to download your free PDF here: theperfectfrench.com/grammar/all-the-meanings-of-manquer/
For English speakers, I find the best translation of "Tu me manques" and "je te manque" are "you are missed by me" and "I am missed by you", in other words, "Tu manques à moi" and "Je manque à toi". These translations help me overcome the confusion of the French sentence structure with manquer.
Madame Dylane🌹 I have been waiting for you to make this lesson but I feel and forgive me for taking the liberty to suggest that perhaps one day you can make a longer lesson of it. I feel is a difficult structure to learn. My gratitude to you Madame Dylane🌹
Yes the third usage of manquer is confusing. I would have thought "Tu me manques" meant "You miss me" and "Je te manque" meant "I miss you" but as you explained the meanings are reversed due to the different ways English and French express feelings. One amusing part of the video is that I watched it with closed captioning and every time you said "manquer" the closed captioning displayed "monkey". I guess that was the closest sounding English word it could find.
Actually, in the third case, it’s exactly the same in Greek! We would say, « μου (to me) λείπεις (you are missed) » Anyway, I found it interesting, so I thought I might share it. Thanks for your videos, and keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Learning English and French parallel and having German as first language is practical. See: I miss you = Ich vermisse dich Tu me manques = Du fehlst mir And it’s all the same context 😂
The way I have tried to make sense of se manquer, is to think of it in a literal, but very awkward, english translation. "Tu me mangues" == "You, I miss". Once I get a grip on that, I change , in my head, to the more natural sounding "I miss you." Elle me mangue => She I miss => I miss her. Je se mangue => I, he misses => He misses me Does this work in general? Or am I likely to get into trouble with this "trick"? Merci! Jim
Thanks for the video , and expecting not abuse of your time I have a question , Mylene Farmer have a song ( c'est pas moi ) where she say " manque de toi " is this correct ? Thanks in advance take care.
There are lots of channel teaching French in French. I teach French in English because it suits more some learners. If you are looking for a French teaching channel in French, there are plenty ;)

Merci à toi :)
Great explanation! Thanks!
Trés bien video French

Lucky you :D But joke aside, I had no idea that greek also had this formula.
Merci beaucoup, Dylane
Paris me manque!
Je te comprends ;)
Madame Dylane🌹
I think : tu me manques will be in Spanish : tu me haces falta, but still very difficult structure in French.
Thank you for sharing Ruth :)
Great!! 🚀❤️
The last part of this video is easy to understand give that I can speak spanish too.
Lucky :D
Merci beaucoup madame 🌹💐🌹
Désolé pour la réponse tardive .
Pas de quoi :)

Good morning my love I speak 5 languages french Spanish English Portuguese criollo ❤
Merci Beaucoup Madame 😊
De rien :)
Je manques Dylane's hebdomadaire posts. Merci, Dylane !
Pas de quoi :)
Learning English and French parallel and having German as first language is practical.
See:
I miss you = Ich vermisse dich
Tu me manques = Du fehlst mir
And it’s all the same context 😂

Elle me mangue => She I miss => I miss her.

Does this work in general? Or am I likely to get into trouble with this "trick"?
Merci!

That's a great one too! Keeping it for my next lesson :)
Thanks for the video , and expecting not abuse of your time I have a question , Mylene Farmer have a song ( c'est pas moi ) where she say " manque de toi " is this correct ? Thanks in advance take care.
Technically not correct but you can find a lot of grammatical errors in songs :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thanks so much for your answer
The order in Tu me manques to say I miss you is opposite of Je T’aime for I love you. Which order is more common?
It depends on whether the verb takes a direct or indirect object. Hard to say which one is more common.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane thank you for a great explanation!!! Have a great week ahead!
The last usage, can that be used for inanimate objects (I miss my old car.) or even actions (I miss going to college.)?
Yes. Ma vieille voiture me manque. Ça me manque d'aller au collège :)
Est-ce qu'on peut dire "Il a jeté un pierre mais il a manqué moi?"
Il m'a manqué :)
Is there another way to say it? I would go for an easier alternative.
Unfortunately not :/
Pourquoi ‘je t’aime’ is ‘I love you’ then??
Just the way it is ;)
Bonjour mon amour je parle 5 langues français espagnol anglais portugais criollo ❤
How can i say "she/he miss me.
Je lui manque :)
Merci madamme

Avoid using English to teach French. It's not necessary, and it holds back the learners.
There are lots of channel teaching French in French. I teach French in English because it suits more some learners. If you are looking for a French teaching channel in French, there are plenty ;)
