Avoir l'air (+ adj)

The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.

Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?

I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').

'des plus rances' why is it plural

In the this expression: 'mes aisselles, que je trouve bizarrement immenses, émettent une fragrance des plus rances', why is des plus rances expressed as plural. I would have thought that the object it relates to is 'une fragrance' and not 'mes aisselles'. I'm guessing that it is plural because it relates to 'mes aisselles', but I would have thought that 'une fragrance' is a closer object.

Thanks

Megan

Translation for ' je me ferais dorer la pilule'

what does 'je me ferais dorer la pilule' mean?

I tried google translate, DeepL Translate and bing translate, all gave me something about 'brown the pill', which just doesn't make sense. I am guessing, it means sunbathing.

Négatif formeBonjour,

J'ai écrit "Je n'ai pas de monnaie exacte".

Je pense que on doit utiliser "DE" au lien de "LE, LA, LES" si il est en forme de négatif, non?

Merci
