rivière The French word for 'river' is 'rivière'. It is used in the same context as in English, to denote a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another river. Examples of its use could be 'La Seine est une grande rivière en France' which means 'The Seine is a big river in France'. Here's how to use it: Nous aimons pêcher à la rivière le weekend. Je me suis baigné dans la rivière tous les étés. Le bruit de la rivière est apaisant.

confident 'Confident' refers to a 'confidant' in English, someone you trust and share your secrets with. It could be a close friend or a family member. Here's how to use it: Nous sommes confiants que vous allez apprécier cette comédie. Sont-ils confiants de pouvoir faire un bon film? Il n'est pas confiant dans le choix de ce film.

la plupart The French word 'la plupart' is used to indicate the majority of something. It is very similar to how 'most' is used in English. Used in a sentence, it could be like 'La plupart des étudiants aiment le Français' where it translates to 'Most students like French'. Note that 'la plupart' is followed by 'de' plus a noun. Here's how to use it: La plupart des gens aiment voyager. Il ignore ce que la plupart pensent de lui. La plupart des gens n'aiment pas attendre.

complice 'Complice' technically means accomplice, but is also used to talk about someone with whom you share or have shared good times. Here's how to use it: Je cherche un complice pour regarder des films romantiques avec moi. Je veux être ton complice dans cette aventure cinématographique. J'adore être ton complice pour voir tous ces films.

|
exister The French verb 'exister' directly translates to the English verb 'exist'. It is most used when talking about the existence of someone or something in a literal or philosophical context. For example, 'Je pense, donc je suis' translates to 'I think, therefore I exist'. Do note that the usage of this word can depend on the context of the conversation. Here's how to use it: Peut-on exister sans connaître l'amour? Elle pense qu'elle peut exister sans l'aide de quiconque. Les miracles semblent encore exister pour certains.
