Talk:que si

Request for verification
No French entry for this one yet. I know people who say bien sûr que si, or oh/ô que si, but I'm not sure if this is really an interjection or just two interjections next to each other. I'll leave you lot to think about it. Mglovesfun 20:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems good to me. —Stephen 13:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Potentially sum of parts ("but of course!"), but with my limited French I'm not sure. In any case I will try to cite it to pass the "is it real?" part of RFV if nothing else. Equinox ◑ 20:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's definitely SOP; "que" can be used this way with any number of expressions, and obviously this is one of the main meanings of "si". —Ruakh TALK 22:39, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, entry deleted. I'm somewhat hesitant to RFV-fail something that I'm pretty sure exists, but I tried to find cites, and it's just too hard: "que si" is a very common word-sequence, and this specific use is too rare, even when I tried searches like "que si, dit-il" that seemed like they should pull up mainly the sense in question. If this were a bona fide idiom, that would be one thing, but it's just SOP, and it makes no sense to keep an entry for one very rare SOP use of a very common word-sequence. That would be misleading at best. (If anyone objects, feel free to find three cites and/or to list this at RFD.) —Ruakh TALK 16:11, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
