What are you going to buy?
Je ne sais pas. Peut-être cette jupe verte… mais j’aime aussi ce jean.

Tu ne peux pas acheter les deux ?

Oh, j’adore cette casquette rouge. Qu’est-ce que tu en penses?
Oh I love this red cap. What do you think of it?
Non, je ne l’aime pas du tout ! Elle est moche. Je préfère la noire, mais tu n’as pas besoin de casquette. Tu as déjà une dizaine de chapeaux ! Tu as besoin d’une ceinture. Regarde. Celle-ci est super belle !
No, I don’t like it at all! It’s ugly. I prefer the black one, but you don’t need a cap. You have about a dozen hats! You need a belt. This one is lovely!
Ah, oui, c’est vrai. D’accord, je vais acheter la ceinture.
Ah yes, that’s true. Ok, I’m going to buy the belt.
