Bonjour!

Get ready to dive into hilarious penguin jokes and discover new French words including chercher, arrêter, système, facteur, cinéma. Don't miss out!

chercher

The word 'chercher' in French is the equivalent of 'seek' in English. It is primarily used as a verb in a similar way as in English, to seek or look for something or someone. It can be used in various contexts and it changes its form according to the tense, gender, and number. For example, 'Je cherche un livre' would translate to 'I am seeking a book'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Elle aime chercher des coquillages sur la plage.
  • Tu dois chercher un travail.
  • Je ne peux pas chercher la clé maintenant.

arrêter

The French word 'arrêter' is used similarly to how 'stop' is used in English. It can be utilized to signify the cessation of an activity or to instruct someone to stop doing something. For example, 'Arrête de manger' translates to 'Stop eating'. It can also be used to express the act of arresting someone, as in 'arrêter un criminel' which means 'arrest a criminal'.

Here's how to use it:

  • La police peut arrêter le suspect maintenant.
  • Le conducteur a arrêté le bus.
  • Il est difficile d'arrêter de manger du chocolat.

système

The French word 'système' is used to denote a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network. It is used very similarly to how 'system' is used in English, suggesting a comprehensive and coordinated whole. Therefore, it fits in a variety of contexts like computer systems ('système informatique'), economic system ('système économique') or solar system ('système solaire').

Here's how to use it:

  • Le système éducatif français est différent du système américain.
  • Ce système informatique est très avancé.
  • Il est important de comprendre le système politique.

facteur

In French, 'facteur' is the word used to describe a factor or an element that contributes to a particular result. It can be used in various context such as Mathematics, Physics and even Economics. For instance, 'Le facteur humain est déterminant dans cette situation' means 'The human factor is decisive in this situation'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Le facteur a apporté une lettre pour toi aujourd'hui.
  • Le facteur a du retard à cause de la neige.
  • Le facteur de production principal dans cette entreprise est le travail.

cinéma

The French word 'cinéma' is used similarly to how 'cinema' is used in English, typically referring to a place where movies are shown or the art of creating films. It can also refer to the film industry in general, akin to saying 'Hollywood' in an English context.

Here's how to use it:

  • Quel film passe au cinéma?
  • J'ai rencontré Tom au cinéma.
  • C'est un célèbre cinéma.
