The English sentence, "...know that nearly 150 nudist beaches are dotted along the French coastline." uses dotted. The translation uses 'jalonner'. I was wondering if 'parsemer' could be used in this context.
Bonjour Kwiziq, je m'appelle Spencer et je viens d'Atlanta au Amérique.
Why is this not “ Mon père et vous vous êtes-vous ennuyés hier soir ?”
It’s a lot of “vous”, but it seems more consistent to me to “vouvoyer” throughout.
Can we say … je n’essoufflais plus instead of of je n’étais plus éssoufflé ?
I don't understand when to use dont or que.
If I fill up a form with my nationality –
Example one: nationalité: autricien
Example two: nationalité: autricienne
I am a male Austrian, but I fill up with the feminine word 'nationalité' that agrees with the feminine adjective 'autricienne' but I don't know which example is correct.
Please tell me which example is appropriate for a male Austrian nationality. Thank you.
The example listed in the lesson specifies "a bakery in the town".
Une boulangerie dans la ville.
What if I was speaking in general, such as "Yes, there's a bakery in town."
Would this be translated as "Oui, il y a une boulangerie en ville." ?
What does valeurs sûres refer to?
Good exercise, but it reminds me to ask, could we have more topics about the darker sides of life? I feel that because the exercises are very strongly weighted towards positive scenarios there’s a whole dimension of human experience that I’m not learning the vocabulary and phrases for. Thanks.
