miracle

In French, the word for 'miracle' is 'miracle', pronounced meer-a-cl. It's used similarly as in English, referring to an exceptional, surprising, or unforeseen event that is considered unexplainable by natural or scientific laws.

Here's how to use it:

  • J'espère un miracle.
  • On dit que c'est un miracle.
  • Je crois aux miracles.

foi

The French word 'foi' translates to 'faith' in English. In general, 'foi' is used to express a complete trust or confidence in someone or something. It is also often used in a religious context to refer to strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion.

Here's how to use it:

  • Cette décision demande une grande foi.
  • Sa foi en ses capacités est forte.
  • La foi peut déplacer des montagnes.

niveau

The word 'niveau' is a French word which translates to 'level' in English. It is commonly used in various contexts, such as describing the level of a liquid in a container, a grade in an educational system, or the degree of quality or existence of a certain object or circumstance. For instance, in the phrase 'niveau d'éducation', it refers to the level of education.

Here's how to use it:

  • Mon niveau de français est intermédiaire.
  • Le niveau d'eau dans le lac a augmenté.
  • La qualité de vie dépend du niveau de revenu.

espoir

The word 'hope' is translated into French as 'espoir'. In French, 'espoir' is generally used the same way as in English, indicating a feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen. 'Espoir' agrees in number, which means it can be 'espoirs' ('hopes') in plural.

Here's how to use it:

  • J'ai de l'espoir pour l'avenir.
  • L'espoir est la chose la plus importante dans la vie.
  • L'espoir meurt en dernier.

effort

The French word 'effort' is used much like the English word 'effort'. It refers to the exertion of physical or mental power. It can be used in various contexts, like making an effort to complete a task, or the effort taken to achieve something.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ce projet nécessite un effort considérable.
  • Le succès vient avec l'effort.
  • C'est un effort pour lui de parler.
