Why do we bother with tu? Most of us are never going to get that close to a French person.

"traditionnelle" before or after noun?In a writing challenge, a correct answer was "et nous avons fini avec la traditionnelle bûche de Noël". Googling, I find things like "Musée du Costume Traditionnel" and many more example where this adjective comes after the noun. So why is it before the noun in the writing challenge?

Why does "There is some risk" translate to "Il y a un certain risque"instead of "Il y a un risque" ? It seems like saying there is some risk implies more that the risk is certain/sure/definite more than what the particular risk is.
