Avant vs Devant

Hi Team,


Is there any explanation why we say "poche avant" and not "poche devant" in this text ?


Thanks,

Hi Umur,

You cannot use 'devant' with pocket.

avant/arrière front/back 

Dans une voiture par exemple - 

sièges avant front seats

sièges arrière = back seats

Whereas -

devant/derrière in front of / behind something

Je vous attends devant la mairie I am waiting for you in front of the town hall

Les enfants sont cachés derrière le canapé = The children are hiding behind the sofa

Bonne Continuation !
