Is the negation Ne...aucun/aucune always used with countable nouns?? '(Je n'ai aucune idée.') I am getting confused because of this post here -
https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/could-you-also-use-aucun
In this post, Chris mentions that....aucun refers to countable objects, then how can we say - Nous n’y voyons aucun mal. [We don’t see any harm in it.]
Here the noun mal is not countable.
Please clarify.
Why is it 'cote d'Azure' but 'cote atlantique'?
This subject should be presented as a factual event, not as an opinion piece.
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?
Johnny
when writing about being somewhere, when do you use à and when do you use de?
There was no audio for this part. I clicked on "play" and it changed to "pause" as expected, but there was no sound.
I've always found it confusing to use both of them like in this phrase is it les œufs en chocolats or les œufs de chocolats?
Checking a couple of points
Both 'shampoing' and 'shampooing' are formally accepted and used spellings, but the latter is being 'corrected' to the former here.
A 'bottle' of shampoo is mostly advertised and sold as 'un flacon' - ' j'ai fini le flacon ' is not accepted as correct though.

There is a sentence in the text:
" les odeurs de cannelle et d'épices évoquent des souvenirs d'enfance"
I seem to get this wrong quite often - why is there no article after de in all of these cases (de cannelle, d'epices and d'enfance).
Thank you!
J'aime Paris en été ! Why is it not correct ?
