How is the question "What does ''noyau'' mean?" relevant to the lesson?
And where is the answer to be found in the lesson? It was one of the questions in the micro-quiz.

Hi Arndís,
'Noyau' is one of those words ending in 'au' whose plural is a silent 'x' .
Hope this helps!

Bonjour. Are "joyau" and "joyaux" pronounced correctly in the example above?

Bonjour Sherry !
Yes, both "joyau" and its plural form "joyaux" are pronounced the same way in French, as the "-x" is mute.
I hope that's helpful!
Bonne Année !
