Need French Translation?
In the movie, "The Help", Aibeleen teaches the little girl, "You is kind; You is smart; You is important."
I want to print this on a craft project, in French.
I know it is not proper English. I am a total grammar nazi. But I love the emotion of the statement, in the movie.
Yahoo won't let me link the youtube of it. Here it is with 2 spaces between the "ll" and the "s", in case you want to see it. Just close the spaces for the link to work :

Thanks in advance

I have seen this movie many times, in French, and the translation is "tu es sage, tu es intelligente, tu es importante", so it is in correct French. There's really no phonetic difference in French "tu est sage, tu est intelligente, tu est importante".
I don't know if there would be any equivalent for the error here that I understand to be time marked.

Well, the proper grammar form, you "are" would be tu es. But the improper form, you "is" which is improper in french too, would be tu est.
So tu est gentile. (man, right?) tu est intelligent. tu est important. Oops, I see it is a girl. Ok,
tu est gentile (sp?) tu est intelligente (sp?) tu est importante (sp?)
To verify spelling, look up those words in a french dict, and see feminine form. Of course, in french they have to agree in gender with the noun.

Dans la campagne Julien et Servine voirent un chat et ecoutent (i do no longer understand word for ghost). Ils partent vite et parlent leurs amis.
