Q

Bien au contraire

This formal interjection is very useful if you need to deny a statement and claim the exact opposite. It’s translated as “Quite the contrary“.

Someone asks you if you are anxious, then you might say: “Bien au contraire” (Quite the contrary). This implies that you are actually relaxed and not anxious.

Now if you want to make it more clear, you can justify why it’s not true right after, in our example it would be: “Bien au contraire, je suis détendu(e)” (Quite the contrary, I’m relaxed)

Synonyms and similarities:

Au contraire. (“On the contrary“)
Tout au contraire. (“Totally the opposite“)
Contrairement. (“Contrarily“)
À l’inverse. (“Quite the contrary“)
