Is the phrase "Il me tape sur les nerfs" used in France?

Question

I heard that it's a Quebec saying and I'm not sure whether or not I should use it in my French coursework.

Answer 1

It is a French expression too,

sbody who is very...  annoying would I say,

but it is not very formal,

Answer 2

It is used, in the sense of "he gets on my nerves". So you can use it, but it is considered colloquial and not formal at all.

Answer 3

It's the polite way of saying: "il me fait chier ce con!", yes, absolutely, it's a French expression. Here, in Lorraine, some people say "il me tape sur le schlips" (I like it, it's funnier).

Answer 4

Hiya,

Yes we also use this in France.

It is not a very nice saying. You generally use it when someone is annoying you and when you are upset and angry.

I hope it help.

Cheerio.

Answer 5

Yes absolutely it's widely used in France. I thought it was a French saying...

Answer 6

this expression is used in french!

Answer 7

It is definitely used and even though it's not rude, it's colloquial so not something you would want to use in a school essay or say to someone who is not a friend or relative.

Answer 8

Yes, definitely an expression in everyday use in France.
