What is the capital of Tunisia?

The peculiar use of “parce que”

The formal use of “parce que” is to illustrate a causality or a reason.

  • On me refuse l’accès parce que j’ai oublié mes identifiants.

In this context, it’s an informal phrasing to emphasize an unexpected outcome to an already surprising sequence of events.

  • Non seulement le dîner était parfait, mais il y avait un dessert en plus.

In this context it indicates pleasantness, but it could be used to indicate the opposite.

  • Parce qu’en plus je n’ai pas le droit de sortir ?

I wouldn’t be able to confidently categorize it but it looks like an idiomatic phrasing.
