Wondering about the origin of the expression "Ouistiti"? And, the use of the expresson " Souriez" for "Say cheese" ?Well, so it's true: You do learn something new every day! And for me, it's the expression, "Ouistiti" !
I had looked up "Say cheese", (in both Collins and the Larousse), and found only "Souriez" !
I wrote "Souriez", which was marked wrong. Maybe, I should have written, "Souris" ! the second person imperative, instead of the formal/plural imperative?
Even when I search 'ouistiti' I can only find that it means 'marmoset', ("un petit singe arboricole d'Amerique tropicale et aux fortes griffes") Also that the expression, "Un drole de ouistiti" means " a bit of a weirdo" ("une personne bizarre"). Does anyone know the origin of the expression, "Ouistiti"?
Merci a tous et bonne continuation !
Somehow, I thought we always use "de" before a plural noun preceded by an adjective?

Correct answer is Tout
Just clarification, Tout here means everything, that's why it is tout not tous? Can tout (as a pronuon) be used as a stand alone subject ?
"J'habite au Costa Rica"
or
"J'habite en Costa Rica"
Which one is correct? Thanks!
Hi,
I know in each example I do, you want me to focus on a grammar point . Sometimes, I need to read further more the other grammar points. How can I find them on your page. For example, your sentense is :” Nous (“ voir “in le présent) tant de belles choses!”. In this case , I would like to learn about the use of “tant”. Where can I find this? Thanks,
