Pourvu?Pourvu means "let's hope"? How does that work? It doesn't even end in -ons.

dry cat food = des croquettes?

Cecile,

Can you please clarify the exact French phrase to be used for the ENGLISH phrase "dry cat food"? I have checked my LAROUSSE FRENCH-ENGLISH-FRENCH dictionary and it does not give the meaning of "des croquettes" as "dry cat food". Google Translate gives the meaning of the English phrase "dry cat food" as "nourriture sèche pour chat". Again the puzzling thing is that Google Translate gives the meaning of the English phrase "dry cat foods" as "les aliments secs pour chats". I would like to learn the correct phraseology rather than rely on GOOGLE translate.

Merci beaucoup.

Frère JacquesWhat is the literal translation of Sonnez les Matines. It seems to be an imperative but the translation I found was 'Morning bells are ringing' not ring the morning bells.

Why is it le tiers monde rather than le troisième monde since tiers is normally a fraction?

Why is this lesson confusing ainsi que and aussie bien?

On the ainsi que lesson there is the following section:

ATTENTION:

You can only use aussi bien que in French when comparing abilities, as in "I do it as well as you do", but NOT in the above cases.

Note also that you can never use aussi que.I'm confused

English translation - subject/object confusion In the above statement: Cher Matt, chère Kate, vous me manquez. is translate to: Dear Matt, dear Kate, I miss you. Why wouldn't it translate to: You miss me? I am having difficulty sorting the word order required in French for this English translation. Thank you
