Kultureller Hintergrund

In France, 'frais' is a mark of high quality, originating from the importance of fresh produce in culinary culture. Applying this to information or results implies that the data is at its most potent and accurate state before time can degrade its relevance.

💡

The 'Tout' Trick

Add `tout` before `frais` to sound more native. `Un résultat tout frais` sounds very natural.

⚠️

Watch the Plural

In plural, it becomes `les frais résultats`. Don't forget to add the 's' to both words!

  • Refers to a brand-new, just-released outcome or piece of data.

What It Means

Think of a baguette. It is best when it is warm and fresh. Le frais résultat is exactly that. It is news or data that just arrived. It has not sat on the shelf. It is still warm from the source. You use it when something is brand new.

How To Use It

Stick it in a sentence like a regular noun. You can say Voici le frais résultat. It sounds a bit poetic. More often, you will hear C'est tout frais. But using frais as an adjective for résultat is classy. It implies the ink is still wet on the paper.

When To Use It

Use it at the office. Your boss asks for the numbers? Give them the frais résultat. Use it after a football match. Did your team win? Share the frais résultat with your friends. It is perfect for anything that just finished. Use it for exams, elections, or even a recipe outcome.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use it for history. Napoleon's defeat is not a frais résultat. That is ancient history. Also, do not use it for physical temperature. If your ice cream is cold, it is just froid. Frais here is about time, not the freezer. Do not use it for people unless they are literally cold.

Cultural Background

French people are obsessed with freshness. Go to any marché on Sunday. You will hear the word frais everywhere. This love for the 'new' moved into language. We want our news like our fish: caught today. It shows you are up-to-date and informed. It is a sign of quality and relevance.

Common Variations

You might hear des nouvelles fraîches. That means 'fresh news.' Or you might hear tout frais payé. That means 'all expenses paid.' The most common variation is c'est tout frais. It adds emphasis to the speed. It is like saying 'it literally just happened.'

Nutzungshinweise

This phrase is neutral and versatile. It works in almost any setting, but remember that 'frais' must agree with the noun it modifies.

💡

The 'Tout' Trick

Add `tout` before `frais` to sound more native. `Un résultat tout frais` sounds very natural.

⚠️

Watch the Plural

In plural, it becomes `les frais résultats`. Don't forget to add the 's' to both words!

💬

Double Meaning

Be careful! `Les frais` (plural noun) means 'costs' or 'fees'. Context is key to avoid confusion.
