Translator confusionHi Kwizik
I am a Premium member and really enjoy the Kwizik model of learning, but I also use a number of other apps, books and websites to study French. I also use 2 or 3 Translators to verify my study before committing “pen to paper” but I am getting a bit frustrated with being marked down in Kwizik, when I have picked different phrases from the recognized and popular translators (Reverso, Google, sometimes DeepL). The latest exercise is “a day in my cat Max’s Life.
EG. donner un câlin or faire un câlin? I chose donner - Kwizik said wrong, should be faire.
EG. Nourriture sèche pour chats or aliments secs pour chats - Kwizik said wrong, should be croquettes.
These are just a couple of examples, but I have many more.
My question is therefore, can Kwizik please suggest the best translator app to use, one Kwizik recommends, which will give us the best information so we get things right. Everyone uses translators so it would be handy to have that information.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks - Jo
The English translations of the futur anterieur listed here don't make sense to me. For example, "you will have been able to sing on stage" -- what does that even mean?
It does make more sense if the word "would'' was used in the English translation. As in: "If you had been there, you would have been able to sing on stage." But to use "will" doesn't seem correct.
"Jacques est descendu du haricot magique." was translated to: "Jack got off the magic beanstalk." I answered, "Jack climbed down the beanstalk" and it was marked wrong. Larousse clearly states that "descendre de" (using etre as the auxiliary verb) means "climb or climb down". Hence, my confusion.
for when am talking what do i say and how do i talk to them
like i am talking to u
and how do i right or correct a girl to a boy or a boy to a girl
how to i read
Je suis d'accord avec Michelle. C'etait tres interessant.
Hi, in the first section, why is it “que j’ai réunis” instead of “que j’aie réunis”? I thought that the verb following “que” needed to be in the subjunctive.
Thanks, Brian
Ron, I know this is very late in the game, but I had the same question. You asked for the phrase in question so here it is below.
The answer given is luit without a discussion of the two possible acceptable answers.
Thanks, Chris
