French-speaking Canadians! I need your help!
🕑 Added 2015-06-29 21:13:38 +0000 UTC French-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!Comments

In that case, it's "Salut, ma belle". Without the "ma", it has no real meaning Sorry for answering that lately, I'm from Europe and the past hours were dedicated to sleeping ^^

If 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.

I might change it to 'Salut, belle', for 'Hello, beautiful'. Is that grammatically correct?
Kadath
Ooh I like that!
Nolax
"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)
Kadath
Hmm gives me some ideas to consider!

So 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?

I'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"

You 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.
