French language Q&A Forum

At the end of the conversation the Aunt says the mirrors are too cute.   Then she says "I'll take them."   How many does she want to buy for her niece??  I would have expected her to say "I'll take one"  Or does "Je les prends !" not mean I'll take them.  I'm confused.

Why is there a need to add "je suis" to "d'accord?"  There are only 2 people in this conversation, so it would seem obvious that the one is agreeing with the other without identifying himself.  It's a bit cumbersome and wordy, esp in spoken interaction.  Do  people actually talk like that in real life???

It doesn't appear possible to rewind this sound clip. For me personally , that makes it much less useful, as you have to replay the whole thing from the beginning.  ( I have tried Firefox and Microsoft edge, so I don't think it's the web browser).

Could we please have an interface that allows us to rewind the sound ? Thanks Paul.

It breaks my heart that due to the Trump-effect, aka his divisive rhetoric, what it means "to be an American" is not a settled debate; and it's something spreading around the world. I suppose there will always be a portion of any populous that views "patrioism" through a more "nationalistic" lenses.

I'm trying to work out what to do when the two subjects are a person and something inanimate. Basically I want to say "I miss you and Paris" - and can only come up with "Toi et Paris me manquent" which doesn't seem right, or "Toi et Paris me manquez" -which definitely seems wrong! Maybe this is something you just can't say in French?
