Talking about my day: Busy day at work

🇫🇷 [Salut] is casual. Use it with friends, coworkers you know, or people your age; with strangers or in a more polite setting, [Bonjour] is safer.

🇫🇷 Like English "How are you?", this is often just a greeting. In everyday French, a short reply like [Ça va bien] or [Ça va] is normal.

🇫🇷 [Et toi ?] keeps the exchange going after you answer about yourself. It's expected in friendly small talk, so not asking back can feel a bit abrupt.

💬 In [s'est passée], the ending changes to match [journée], which is feminine, so you get [passée] with an extra written [e]. You'll see the same thing in [Elle s'est levée] and [La réunion s'est bien passée].

💬 French often says [Comment s'est passée ta journée ?] where English uses "How was your day?" Literally it's closer to "How did your day go?" — a very common way to ask about someone's day.

💬 If you're talking about yourself, this usually needs to match your gender: a man says [très occupé], a woman says [très occupée]. The extra final [e] changes the spelling, not the sound.
