On peut aussi dire “s’il vous pla\u00eet” ou \u201cs’il te pla\u00eet\u201d pour terminer la phrase.<\/p>\n

You can also say “s\u2019il vous pla\u00eet” or “s\u2019il te pla\u00eet” to finish the sentence.<\/spanp><\/p>\n

Si on re\u00e7oit une r\u00e9ponse affirmative, il faut remercier la personne pour sa gentillesse en disant \u201cmerci\u201d ou \u201cmerci beaucoup\u201d. On peut ajouter \u00ab Bonne journ\u00e9e \u00bb ou \u00ab Bonne soir\u00e9e \u00bb en fonction de l’heure de la journ\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
