Hi everyone,
I'm Quentin, a french student in mechanical engineering (22 years old).
I was wondering if a "what + a + noun" sentence has always a meaning. I've heard a lot sentences like : "What a jerk !!", "What an Idiot !!" in series or in spoken english. But is there any chance that "What a teacher !" or "What a cat !" or "What a (whatever the noun is)" has a meaning (orally)?
To place it into a context :
A friend teaches me a lesson :
- "...... and now you understand why. "
I reply :
-"What a teacher !"
Is that correct ?
Does it sound familiar or something ? Must I use those sentences carefully ?
Thank you for your futur answers !!
