Did you know?
- In the past, French speakers could use other nouns for negation instead of pas, such as goutte for 'a drop' or mie for 'a crumb'.
- While pas intéressé means 'not interested', the word intéressé can also mean 'selfish' or 'mercenary' in a social context.
- To express a total lack of interest, French speakers might use the slang term ça me glisse dessus, suggesting the idea just slides right off them.
