Expression du moment:
Tomber dans les pommes / to faint.
(traduction littérale : to fall in the apples)
Exemple :
Je ne sais pas ce qui m'est arrivé: quand je me suis levée* de mon siège, je suis tombée dans les pommes.
I don't know what happened to me: when I got up from my seat, I fainted.
*As you will note from the ending of levée and tombée, the speaker is a female. What's that rule again? passe composé of verbs conjugated with être? ha, yes, that one...
