attendre POUR une tomate

Je crois que le verbe "attendre" veut dire "to wait for". (J'attends ma mère, le train, etc.)

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on dit ici "alors attendre pendant des mois POUR une tomate".

Expliquez, s'il vous plaît.

I was thrown!

I wouldn't have thought the very last sentence would be a question, so I had a guess and got it wrong of course.

Should it have ended more better?

Improved searches

Did you recently overhaul the search functions? I think so, but maybe have just not been paying attention. Much better now anyway, especially for tracking down previous discussion on QandA forum.

Can you use “nous” for using we with three people? Or do you need to use ils/elles.

To use ne or not to use ne in everyday conversation.

Hi, as I understand, the use of 'ne' in everyday 'street French' is gradually being omitted. Could you please clarify to what extent 'ne' is still used in this context.

Thank you

La or de la pistache

Salut! Why is it “je préfère la pistache” instead of “de la pistache”. Do we not use du, de la, etc before food in this case?
