✕Common Mistakes

  • Ce matin je suis dans une bonne humeur.

    In French, you use the preposition 'de' rather than 'dans' to describe being in a mood.

  • Ce matin je suis de bon humeur.

    The word 'humeur' is feminine, so the adjective must be 'bonne' to match.

  • Je me sens bien ce matin.

    I feel good this morning.

  • Je suis de très bonne humeur !

    I am in a very good mood!

Cultural Tip

While French culture is sometimes stereotyped as being grumpy, expressing a 'bonne humeur' is a great way to build rapport in a French workplace. Note that 'humeur' (mood) is a false friend and does not mean 'humor' (wit), which is 'humour' in French.
