Questions & Answers about Ce poisson est cru, donc ça me dérange.

Since this lesson is about ce qui and ce que, how could I rewrite this sentence to say "which bothers me"?

You can combine the two parts of the sentence by dropping donc ça (therefore it) and replacing it with ce qui. Because "which" acts as the subject doing the bothering, you must use ce qui: Ce poisson est cru, ce qui me dérange.

What is the difference between Ce and ça in this sentence?

Ce is a demonstrative adjective meaning "this", and it must be placed directly in front of a masculine noun (Ce poisson). Ça is a pronoun meaning "it" or "that", which replaces a noun or concept entirely and acts as the subject of the verb (ça me dérange).

I thought cru meant "believed". Why does it mean "raw" here?

You are thinking of the past participle of the verb croire (to believe), which is indeed cru. They are spelled and pronounced exactly the same, but here cru is simply an adjective meaning "raw".

Why does the word me go before the verb in ça me dérange instead of after it?
