I tried translating "You cannot tell anyone." on my own, and I came up with
"Tu ne peux pas dire à personne."
However, when I tried to check it on Google Translate, it changed my sentence to
"Tu ne peux pas le dire à personne."
Is "le" really necessary before "dire"? What is the rule of these kinds of sentences?
I hope you can help me. Thanks!
How many questions are there per each lesson in the quiz bank?

Hi! Just got a couple questions here:
What's the difference between "parfum" and "arôme"? Are they not interchangeable?

Thanks in advance!!
