French language Q&A Forum

Hello again - some more queries. Looking especially for nuances in meaning/usage:
1. Why "bienvenue" and not "bienvenu"?
2.  Instead of "j'aimerais annuler une commande" would it be acceptable to say "je voudrais annuler une commande"?
3.  instead of "j'ai passé ma commande" would it be acceptable to say "j'ai placé ma commande"?
4.  "j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison."  Is   "j'attendrais patiemment pour votre prochaine livraison" ever correct?

Thanks in advance. Love your work!

Best wishes
Ian

I love how the audio has a female voice saying each of the feminine nouns, and a male voice for the masculine ones.  I expect that actually will help us to remember the gender for these listed body parts if we play it a few times -- thank you! 

Why is it "bien que ton papa et moi soyons en manque de sommeil" rather than "bien que ton papa et moi ayons été en manque de sommeil"?

I think I may need a bigger dictionary! I am struggling to find the appropriate word.  For example:

Le sol versus le plancher

imparable versus imbattable versus incomparable versus inégalable

évident versus manifeste. 

Also the suggested answer "je vais faire une machine" seems to translate as "I'm going to make a machine"

Help !!
