Translation of the English word "efficient" in FrenchI noticed that "efficient" gets translated in French as "efficace".
However, "efficient" and "effective" have two very different meanings. Google Translate is equally mixing things up, but the French word "efficient" does seem to exist.

Is French less specific in these two words, or is it a misunderstanding of the difference at / error by KwizIQ?

why is it that we can say je suis des parents, but not je suis des a amoureux?I mean this as in, when we say je suis des parents we say I am a parent, but when we say je suis des a amoureux we say I'm lovers - which makes no sense. Maybe it's just des I am confused with?

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