Two possibilities Explanation: 1) je te fais fuir / je te donne envie de t'envoler Birds and bees fly! "Tu" because the relationship is close. 2) Making love. VERY unlikely given the relationships between the characters! Solution depends on the level of language you feel is required, the politest version of which is "je te donne envie de faire l'amour ?". I can't think of anything else that might be meant by this. |
