Talk:ménage à moi


 * I've never heard that in French, and I don't know how I would insert it in a sentence. PUC – 18:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There are a few hits for, often probably with a different meaning or perhaps due to scan errors. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  18:24, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, but these are literal uses: "my own household" or "my own cleaning". And those uses are precisely the reason why I have trouble imagining ménage à moi being used as a single syntactic unit with an idiomatic sense. That said, I've found something. I only have access to a small preview, though, so I can't judge. PUC – 18:35, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Right. Do you think that the French literal use should be mentioned in the etymology as a possible influence? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
