planes of the head guyJe ne pense pas qu’il voit quoi que ce soit.

Of course, it’s always hard to tell with Planes-of-the-Head Guy because he is so inscrutable.

Actually this post isn’t about Planes-of-the-Head Guy or any other art topic.  I just needed something to illustrate the neat French phrase I stumbled upon.  I think I know what it means but one is never sure.

I strive to get serious now about learning French so I read French books and listen to French documentaries.  There’s a bunch on the lives of famous artists!  While I was looking for something else, however, I discovered that voit quoi is a thing and came upon a page with various uses of it.  That’s here:

Meanwhile, can Google translate my sentence above, I wonder?  Here goes

Bien sûr, c’est toujours difficile à dire avec Planes-of-the-Head Guy parce qu’il est tellement impénétrable.

  1. So funny to read about French difficulties, I have same dilemna in English…
    Et oui, ce gars ne voit rien, il n’a pas d’oeil 😂, dessines les yeux, il verra plus clair.

  2. ça ç’est très drôle! Planes-of-the-head guy is a good representation for the difficulties of learning a language, he hasn’t got any ears either. haha

  3. Il n’entends pas, il ne vois rien, mais il a beaucoup des admirateurs. Tous les etudients veulent dessiner Planes of the Head Guy. Alors, il reste content!
