Jen passe - French Expression
Jen passe - French Expression Expression: ... et jen passe Pronunciation: [ ay zha(n) pahs] Meaning: and thats not all, and all sorts of things, and so on Literal translation: and I pass over some Register: normal Notes The French expression et jen passe is a sort of verbal shorthand, a way of letting listeners know that you are skipping over boring or excessive details. The adverbial pronoun en replaces the implied word choses- the things youre skipping over. Example    Ce que Michel est raseur ! Il na pas arrà ªtà © de parler de son divorce, dà ©mà ©nagement, licenciement et jen passe !    Michel is such a bore! He droned on about his divorce, move, firing, and on and on! Variation    Jen passe et des meilleures - literally, I pass over some and better ones. Note that meilleures is feminine plural to agree with choses. Synonyms    et ainsi de suite   et bla bla bla (informal)   et cetera   et patati et patata (informal)   je vous fais cadeau des dà ©tails More Expressions with enExpressions with passerMost common French phrases
