La Seine<\/strong> is no stranger to la crue<\/strong> (flooding) and has seen many impressive storms in its history, but les inondations<\/strong> still took Parisians by surprise. For many people trying to make their way through la Ville Lumi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/a> (the City of Light) it was strange to see their usually route flooded!<\/p>\n

One way to see what les Parisiens<\/strong> thought of les inondations<\/strong> is to hop on les r\u00e9seaux sociaux<\/strong> (social media). Many Parisiens<\/strong> were quick to make jokes about le temps<\/strong> (the weather) and le hashtag<\/strong> #orage<\/strong> (#storm)<\/em> took over Twitter as people all over Paris reacted to les inondations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Les blagues<\/strong><\/a> (jokes) people were making are not only funny, they’re also a fun way to learn new vocabulary<\/a>! However, when you’re on les r\u00e9seaux sociaux<\/strong> it can sometimes be hard to understand everything. People tend to write in a less formal way, often making mistakes<\/a> and sometimes using le langage SMS<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To help make it easier, here are some fun Tweets about les inondations<\/strong> with translations and explanations when needed:<\/p>\n

En fait l’\u00cele-de-France est en train de devenir une \u00eele pour de bon ?. #orage<\/a> #paris<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00cele-de-France is actualy becoming an island for real ?. #storm<\/a> #paris<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00cele-de-France<\/strong> litterally means Island of France<\/em>, which refers to the greater Paris region which is not normally an island.<\/p>\n

Paris-Plages<\/strong><\/a> is a city initiative to create une plage<\/strong> (a beach) on the banks of la Seine<\/strong>. RATP<\/strong> stands for R\u00e9gie Autonome des Transports Parisiens<\/strong> (Autonomous Operator of Parisian Transports) and is the public transport operator for Paris.<\/p>\n

When the Navigo Pass makes complete sense … #storm<\/a> <\/em>#paris<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Le passe Navigo<\/strong> (the Navigo pass) is the subway card for Paris. La blague<\/strong> is how Navigo<\/strong> gets its name from the word navigation<\/strong> (boating, sailing).<\/p>\n

Sympa la nouvelle sonerie #orage<\/a> qui vient de r\u00e9veiller tout Paris, plus besoin de smartphone.<\/p>\n

When you think you’ve been saved from the floods in your region, they come in tweet waves from Parisians.#storm<\/a> #floods<\/a> <\/em>#Paris<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found these Tweets on le site web<\/strong><\/a> (the web site), Demotivateur<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>(demotivator).
