Do you sometimes get to the point where you really don't know which way to go any more - and then end up not doing anything at all? (Please say that you do!...) Every time I try to decide on which phrase or word to highlight in my "French word/phrase for the day", I hum and ha and dither and thither and the result is that I should probably rather call it "French word/phrase
for the month"So -- instead of once again posting nothing today, I have a few for you to choose from. (Look at the first one -- not knowing which way to turn. The French say: Not knowing which saint to confess to. I love how the French language, time and again, reflects the French way of thinking!...)
ne pas savoir à quel saint se vouer
it takes one to know one :
qui se ressemble s'assemble
not to know what to do with oneself:

not to know where to put oneself:

not to know whether one is coming or going :
