Another batch of phrases covered this week on BBC Radio Jersey - Monday at 6.15. There won't be a session on Monday 4th June (or a Lettre Jèrriaise) because of the Jubilee festivities.

Lé p'tchiot n'fait qué d'créheûler toute la bénite niet
The child has done nothing but cough incessantly all the blessed night

I' n'fait qué créholer
He just coughs all the time

Il est malade comme un tchian
He's as sick as a dog

La leune à l'air malade à ces sé - j'éthons d'la plyie
The moon has a sickly appearance this evening - we're going to have rain

Lé docteu a eune mâsse dé malades ches jours
The doctor has a lot of sick people these days

Eune maladie, eune séthieuse maladie

Feigning illness
