And like every Sunday… every Sunday evening at the same time, since 2011 now, we have seen together more than 550 French idiomatic expressions… well we are going to study an expression. The expression that I have chosen for you today is the expression “des vertes et des pas mûres”. You may have already heard this expression in French content and perhaps you have wondered what it means.
Before that, I really invite you with great motivation and great desire, I invite you to join the Authentic French newsletter. We have a lot of really cool things for you. I'm not going to tell you too much because we're also preparing a little surprise, but if you join the newsletter, well you will receive the free Authentic French course. In fact, that's the surprise. We are working on making this course a little... 'well, a little, no, much much better.

Is that good? Did you do it? Well, OK. Now we can move on to the next part, the expression "des vertes et des pas mûres".

Ripe is an adjective that we use to talk about a fruit that has reached its full development. We eat a fruit when it is ripe. For example, if there is a banana growing on its tree, it will be all green, it will not be ripe. And if you try to eat it, it will have a bad taste, it will not be good to eat. If you wait a little, you wait a few days, until it has reached its full development, you will be able to eat it. It will be ripe.
