I hear this expression a lot when I listen to RFI radio. I’m pleased that you covered it. Your sites great.
Bon Jour Laura,
thanks a lot for Your site.
I really appreciate how You do Your job for us, learners of French.
Today´s expression I can hear so often when I am in France but You have brought different examples, positive as well negative and that is what I need for my getting improved.
Have a nice weekend and take care .
Ça va Laura?
I guess “tout à fait” would literaly mean “all the facts”; used just in the way you describe. And living partially in SW France (Pays Basque) I would say it’s one of the most common phrases I hear in chat. The other would be “t’inquiète pas” (with the “Ne” missing from the begining of the phrase). I didn’t spot that here… yet…
But the big problem I had was finding ways to say “anywhere”…
Great blog…
Sincères salutations

Dans un film (1926), le petit Gribiche écrit une lettre. Il écrit ”
« Je suis en allé pour tout à fait. »
Je sais ce qu’il veut dire, mais ma question : Est-ce qu’il écrit bon français, ou est-ce que /ca c’est une façon d’écrire pour un môme de dix ans ?
Merci d’avance, Carl
