Okay, so I was talking with a friend of mine about how I'm running out of food in the house and I don't have any money. So she suggests that I go to a bakery and ask them to make a donation to my "Hungry Student Club."

I think it would be funny to know how to say this in French or see if I could actually get free bread from bakeries. So I post on this translation forum, the following.

So...hello all et merci 'a tous en avance.

I'm trying to get day old bread from bakeries here in France, but not for an actual organisation. For me, because I am hungry and as a foreign student here I have no income. How would you translate that?

Would you care to make a donation to my "Hungry Student's Club?"

Could I ask something along the lines of "vous n'auriez pas par hasard du pain rassis que vous jettiez normalement?"

All I want to do is get the bread that they would normally throw away. Do they probably already have something in place for this? Do they end up throwing any bread away? Any other suggestions for a starving student?


The response I get is:

concerned french woman Wrote:
You dont' have to do this. I'll PM you now.


the PM that follows is:

Bonjour cmanhatan4!

My name is Jacqueline, I am quite far away from you and if I could I would feed you right now.
What do you mean you're starving? Where are you located? In Paris? My family is in the South of France. Let me know where you are, and I will make some search and try to help you.

Please let me know. Answer my post please.


Yikes.

I don't think she understands the joking connotation of "starving student."

I don't know mang. This is weird. The thing is, if she offers up a free meal or something with a French family, what do I do? I'm obviusly not giving out any personal info here....and there's always the chance that she works for French INS and is just looking for a chance to deport me.

I say take her up on her offer. This is the kind of thing that independent foreign films are made of.

i didn't mean that you shouldn't reply to the threads, i meant that if i wanted to end this fiasco i could just not reply to her and it would be done.
