To Miss

Would it have been also OK to say "Je manque à ma douche chaude"?

Bonjour Daniel,

I you say "je manque à ma douche chaude", it sounds as if the hot shower is alive (i.e. it's considered a living thing).

To say, "I miss [something]", you will use the following pattern:

[quelque chose] me manque

Ma douche chaude me manque = I miss my hot shower

Mon lit me manque = I am missing my bed

Ma maison me manque I am missing my home

Take a look at the lesson link below:

Using manquer (à) to say you miss someone or something emotionally in French

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
