The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?
Thank you, Di
Not sure why de not des. The cited lesson suggests it should be des.
The lesson states: "You will never use autres on its own," which in the context of the entire lesson appears to mean you would need des or d', since no other option is given for the plural, but you could in fact say, for instance, "ces autres journaux." Even if you want to make the argument that using ces fulfils the point quoted statement as to autres not being alone, it is still misleading at best.
Why the infinitive? How does this work?
In "Tu te souviens de mon ami Alain, que je connais depuis l'école hôtelière", is it okay to use "dont" instead of que?
Thanks!
- écarlate (scarlet)
- fauve (fawn/tan)
- incarnat (rosy pink)
- mauve (mauve)
- pourpre (crimson)
- rose (pink) of course !
I see the origins of fauve (a fawn), mauve (a mallow) and rose (the flower) - but what are the things that écarlate, incarnat and pourpre are named after? Aren't these last three just standard colour names?
