Undecided questions
what does "J'en ai à faire" mean?
Can someone explain to me where this phrase comes from? Je +à+ ai+ à + faire???
Can you make it a bit clearer for me?

"Avoir de qch a faire" means "have sth to do" . When "avoir" is used after "je" , it changes into "ai", and "de+ qch" change into "en" when they are put in front of the verb. "qch" means something.
The most natural answer for me as a Frenchman would be the same as Alexis. Most common is the negative form of this expression "je n'en ai rien à faire" meaning "i really don't care", "it doesn't interest me". It doesn't mean then "i have something to do" which would be translated by "j'ai quelque chose à faire" (without "en").
