Hi,can anyone help please...in the French sentences. 1 " dites- moi ce qui vous intéresse"  and 2 " dites- moi ce que vous préférez, in the first sentence ce qui is described as the subject of the verb,and in the second ce que is described as the object of the I'm generally ok with ce qui  being followed by verb in case 1 and ce que being followed by subject pronoun or noun in case 2. So, in case 2 is vous the subject and in case 1 what is the subject/ object/verb relationship ?

Why here we cannot use neuf, it is a new bike so it has not been used.Futhermore it is not living things, neuf here sounds make sense.

Bonjour, 

I was wondering why "pas" isnt used in "ça ne fait rien", as usually to express a negative you'd have to use "ne ... pas". Is "pas" something that has been dropped in the expression over time? And are there other expressions which also use "ne" without the "pas"?

Thanks! 

Your translation corrects "la salle de bain" to "bains" yet other translator translations seem to use either ???????

I haven’t come across "une terrasse touristique" - is it a pavement café?  

Also, it seems to me that there’s an extraneous consonant in the fourth sentence, between du and lieu: qui émane du … lieu lui-même
