J’espère vraiment que tu brûleras en enfer.
I found this insult very aggressive but I have been told that it’s the equivalent of “go to hell”. Is it really?

1What research have you done to sort it out? Please be specific as you where you are stuck. Are you asking if it's a common phrase or how pejorative or vulgar it is?– livresqueSep 13 at 22:36

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.– Community BotSep 13 at 22:36

brûler en enfer is just the translation of the English idiom "burn in hell". Another variant, besides "go to hell" is rot in hell. It is not a typical French idiom.– NoneSep 16 at 9:19

I have never heard it in France.
It sounds outdated or a translation from a foreign language. The closest equivalent of "go to hell" would be Va au diable ! or more commonly Casse-toi ! / Va te faire voir !

@Graffito A lot of foreign authors in the recent occurences but the increase might also be due to the fact we are approaching the apocalypse...– jlliagreSep 14 at 12:30

It sounds like the type of deliberately outlandish and over-the-top insult young people or very close friends would exchange after a prank or nasty trick was played. Not simply the equivalent of "go to hell" and I wouldn't say it's very common either.
