I have checked with 3 different dictionaries i.e. Le Robert de Poche, Harrap’s Shorter French and English dictionary and Wordreference online. Each one defines ski boot as “après-ski” as opposed to “botte de neige” .

Which is the correct response?

Is the verb for "worry" reflexive?

Just need a little clarification. Is the verb for "to worry" just "inquieter" or is it reflexive? (s'inquieter) If it is reflexive, how would that change the phrase, "I am a little worried" in French?

Telling the time.In English we often phrases like " quarter past", "five past" , "five to" by themselves when referring to time. Consider the situation when everyone knows it is about say six o'clock and we are all waiting for the bus or the train to arrive. Someone may ask "When is the next bus?" and someone will informally answer "five past". Everyone knows what this means. Is there an equivalent in French? Or do we have to say it formally " (Il est six heures cinq)

Translating the word 'brown' when applied to hair colour?

Bonjour,

I'm curious to learn why 'brun' is an unacceptable translation of 'brown' (as applied to hair colour), in favour of 'marron' which is just a particular shade of brown.
