Be Careful When Using BIEN FAIT in French | Avoid this Embarrassing Mistake 🇫🇷

The expression "bien fait" in French has two different meanings and you are most likely using one of them wrong. But don't worry, I will teach you what to say instead.
Many French learners translate bien fait as well done, which can be right sometimes but not always. In other cases, it actually means the total opposite of what you think it means. Bien fait when used as an expression of a consequence, means "to serve someone right".
Let's see some examples and what to use instead.

Very good. Merci! I have never used this expression before but I think I like the alternative "bien joué'. A safer bet!
Thanks Dylane 😊

Merci Kurt :)

[@aurevoirpet-ourfrenchlife6772]

Thank you for the video. Always very helpful 😊. I learnt bien joué a while ago and it’s thankfully one of the phrases I find easy to remember. Also, the use of bien fait as “serves you right” is pretty much the same in English and often used in a sarcastic way. For example if someone opens a can of soda and it sprays all over the place you could say “well done” as in “that was stupid wasn’t it” 😂

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

True I should have added that as well :)

[@AnthonyKalloo]

Thanks Dylane!

Thank you so much Daniel :)

[@RandomPianoDude1990]

Merci beaucoup. J'ai entendu parler de ça avant.
C'est marrant que le mot "bien" veut dire quelque chose genre "good", "very well", ou "that's great", mais si on ajoute le mot "fait" pour devenir "bien fait", peut-être qu'on pense "well done"? Mais non non non non, ça devient grossier MDR. Quand même, bonne journée.

[@burgundiemiceli8828]

Can I use bien joue when I'm being sarcastic? So like, if my friend tells me she fell off her bike because she was riding too fast I can joke and say bien joue? I'm trying to learn how to use sarcasm when I speak French because that's so much of my personality.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Yes you can use it sarcastically :)

[@thomaswilson1312]

There is an analogous English expression, from England, usually old private schools, "well played" applying to something well done or well executed. May be obsolete by now😊

[@keegs3432]

I still hear it fairly often out here in the States. Maybe not as common as it used to be, but I would say far from obsolete

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Thank you Thomas, I looked it up when writing this video but I wasn't sure if it was still used :)

[@crichardyx5868]

I think either it is 0 or 100, they can both be deserve it in English, not too much wrong by saying Bien Fait ... LOL... but Bien Joué seems a bit more like a proper congratulation

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Exactly :)

I wonder if bien fait is how the name Beyoncé originated in Creole.
