I want juice.

never heard this one before.

Bablefish says it means I hold with the juice somehow I don't think that's right!

It means "I'll keep you informed".

Go to Google translator...it means 'I want juice'.

slim22 · 08/05/2009 13:00

i'll keep you informed sounds right

GrubbityWitch · 08/05/2009 13:05

I'll keep you posted

teabreakgirl · 08/05/2009 13:06

Thank you everyone, I had the juice translation but it didnt fit the conversation, I'll keep you posted/informed seems to be right in this instance!!!!

Very odd!

Not really that strange - English refers to gossip as being "juicy" and you migth "squeeze" someone for information. As others have said it's an informal way of saying I'll keep you up to date/posted.

Is there not a vous/te in there - je te/vous tiens au jus?

It's a new one for me.

This is the example I just found online:

-Il te restes de l'herbe?
-Plus du tout
-Tu me tiens au jus quand t'en as?

Synonyme de tenir au courant, prévenir , donner des nouvelles à propos d'une chose...

Must see if DH knows it or if it's just for 'les jeunes'.
