there is a new maid cafe in japan Il y a au Japon un nouveau <i>Maid Cafe <i>, ou "café à soubrettes" Explanation: The word "soubrette" fits well the idea of play and fun, more than "domestique", which has more serious and even pejorative connotations in French. If you put the English terms in italics and the French translation in inverted commas, it's clear that it is your own contribution to a well-known expression. |

there is a new maid cafe in japan Il y a au Japon un nouveau café aux uniformes Explanation: Bonjour, Je vous propose ceci: Il y a au Japon un nouveau café aux uniformes. Uniforme fait référence à l'habit des domestiques . Moi, j'expliquerai le concept maid café, et mettrai la proposition française entre parenthèses. À vous de voir.
