French language Q&A Forum

I wondered a similar thing and my old dictionary gave "Un demi" presumable for 1/2 litre, more or less?

When do one use là when talking about "here" because most times I see people write je suis là which they mean "i am here" , but i thought là means there

Explique-le moi stp

The "je" in this sentence sound like "te".      "Je n'en avais jamais entendu parler avant"

I have a lot of trouble with french because i directly translate the English. So i wanted to know if "on y va" can also be used for something like, "let's do it" or "let's get started". Or is it just for "let's go somewhere" like a place?

I'm still somehow confused on when to use des vs. les. For example, in the translation exercises,

"and boys can play with dolls" is translated to "et les garçons peuvent jouer avec des poupées".

But I thought it should be LES poupées because it's referring to dolls (in general). Is this a case of either one working?

Rendre visite has a somewhat negative meaning in terms of something being an obligation. That's fine if that's what is intended but you "aller voir" someone who is a friend.

Is there a difference between using 

etre a + moi/toi/lui/... 

and

possessive pronous? 

Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other? 

For example: 

Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.

Why didnt we say : On ne doit pas parle la bouch pleine 

instead of On ne doit pas parler la bouch pleine 

since it is ER ending verb is that the right way ?
