French-speaking Canadians! I need your help!
Added 2015-06-29 21:13:38 +0000 UTCFrench-speaking Canadians! I need your help! I'm looking for help with a translation. Context is A woman looking in a mirror and admiring herself. I'm thinking something short and sweet like 'you look good' or 'looking good'. I've heard that 'Bonne mine' is a French equivalent for this (not sure if Parisian or Quebec French though). I wanted to ask if this is accurate, or if there's something better you might suggest. Any help is appreciated!

2015-06-30 08:36:58 +0000 UTCIf a french person were to compliment themselve in the mirror, the proper sentence is: "je suis en forme" or "j'ai bonne mine" the two sentences are good.

2015-06-30 05:16:55 +0000 UTCI might change it to 'Salut, belle', for 'Hello, beautiful'. Is that grammatically correct?

2015-06-30 01:23:17 +0000 UTC"Bonne mine" is a bit fancy. I would suggest something like "Salut, ma jolie", which means "Hello, pretty" ; that's what I think a girl would say in front of a mirror x)

2015-06-29 22:12:42 +0000 UTCSo if a French person were to compliment themselves in the mirror, would one of those phrases be proper? Is there one you think might be best?

2015-06-29 22:11:19 +0000 UTCI'm not a canadian (but i'm a french guy) and i'm sure about one thing "bonne mine" is an expression from France. You look good seems litteraly: "vous semblez/ tu sembles bien" and i can traduce it by: "aller bien" or "être en forme"

2015-06-29 21:50:30 +0000 UTCYou might try "je m'aime", though that's closer to "I love myself." Or perhaps "je t'adore" which would be "I adore you", as in complimenting ones own looks.
