Bonjour à tous !
Indeed, here I must admit to a very unfortunate "anglicisme" :(
Thanks to your comments, it's now been rectified.
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires :)
Hi Ethan,
You are indeed correct and Aurélie has added an -e to :
un ovale
Bonne Continuation!
Cécile,
Thank you for your input but unfortunately, I beg to differ.
The form "oval" is simply not found in any of the French dictionaries I was able to check. There is one and only one form - "ovale". It is a noun and it has an -e in the end.
Here's its definition on Le Robert, for example:
https://dictionnaire.lerobert.com/definition/ovale
Larousse also only lists “ovale” (nom masculin), so I think that Yuxuan and others may be right!
