| simplement The French equivalent of the English word 'simply' is 'simplement'. This word is commonly used in French sentences to denote simplicity or directness, similar to how 'simply' is used in English. For example, 'Il est simplement génial' translates to 'He is simply great' in English. Here's how to use it: Il l'a fait simplement parce qu'il l'aime. Ce n'est pas simplement une question d'argent. Je lui ai simplement demandé de partir. | |
| éviter The French word 'éviter' is used in many scenarios similar to its English equivalent, 'avoid'. You can use it when you want to escape from a situation (éviter un problème - avoid a problem), when you're trying to keep away from a person (éviter quelqu'un - avoid someone), or when dodging an object (éviter une voiture - avoid a car). It's a versatile word that is frequently used in both conversational and written French. Here's how to use it: J'essaie d'éviter le sucre dans mon alimentation. Il faut éviter de prendre ce chemin la nuit. Il est important d'éviter les distractions lorsque vous étudiez. | |
| semaine The French word for 'week' is 'semaine'. It is used in the same context as in English, referring to the seven day period. An example of a sentence using 'semaine' is 'J'ai une réunion la semaine prochaine', which translates to 'I have a meeting next week'. Here's how to use it: La semaine dernière, on a vu un film incroyable. Cette semaine, je suis libre. Nous avons prévu un voyage pour la semaine d'après. | |
| une fois In French, the word 'une fois' is used to mean 'once'. It is often used to denote the occurrence of an action or event for one time. For example, 'Je suis allé à Paris une fois' which translates to 'I have been to Paris once'. Note that in French, numbers are very important in situating nouns, much like in English. Here's how to use it: Une fois par semaine, je vais à la gym. Une fois le travail terminé, nous irons nous promener. Il faut se lever tôt une fois dans sa vie pour voir le lever du soleil. | |
| oeuf The word 'oeuf' is a masculine noun in French. It is used in the same context as 'egg' in English, referring to the oval or round object laid by a female bird, reptile, fish, or invertebrate. In the culinary context, it is used as a basic ingredient in many recipes. Here's how to use it: | |
