How to use on ose à peine
This question relates to:French lesson "Ne … guère = Hardly ever (French Negations)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Devesh,
The expression 'oser à peine + faire', means to hardly /scarcely dare to do something, so you might say -
J'ose à peine espérer qu'ils viendront pour mon anniversaire = I can hardly dare hope that they will come for my birthday
J'ose à peine vous dire ce qu'ils m'ont révélé = I can hardly dare tell you what they revealed to me
Hope this helps!
