Hello everyone and thank you for joining me for this new episode of the Français Authentique podcast. I am very happy, really, that you are joining me today to discover a French idiomatic expression. Tell yourself, it's been 11 years now, even 12 years, that I have been teaching you an idiomatic expression every Sunday. We are on episode 540 of the podcast, so it's crazy. I think we started numbering our podcasts a little later, we didn't start with number 1. We should do the calculation of 540, if we divide by 10, yes, that could be about it. In any case, it is a great pleasure, a great honor to see more and more of you coming each week to learn an idiomatic expression. And today, the expression that I am going to teach you is "se faire porter pâle".

So let's move on now, I suggest, to the expression of the day "to carry oneself pale".
So "se faire" can be used in different ways, but often it is used to say that someone is changing or making their situation evolve. Se faire means that someone is making their situation change.
"Porter", also, the verb "porter", can be used in different ways. It can mean to carry, to lift, to move something. So that's the verb "porter". There's a bottle of water near my computer where I'm recording, well I'm carrying the bottle of water. In fact, I'm going to take the opportunity to have a little sip. I'm carrying the bottle of water, I just have it in my hand.
Pale means something that is not very colorful, that tends towards white, that is not white but that is close to white. For example, when we see someone who is sick, we say to them: "Oh, you look pale, you seem to be pale, you have a pale side, you don't have a complexion, you don't have a skin color that is really natural."
