entre guillemets –between quotation marks. A guillemet is a quote, a punctuation mark – that’s useful to know when you’re doing my dictations. entre guillemets means ‘quote unquote’. But entre guillemets also means ‘as it were’ or ‘if I may say’, as a understatement or ironically.
- « Ce candidat aux présidentielles est, entre guillemets, bizarre. »
- “This candidate for the presidency is, quote unquote, weird.”
