administration Administration in French is used the same way it is used in English, representing the tasks and activities that are related to operating an organization, such as a business or school. It can also refer to the group of people who are in charge of managing such an organization. Here's how to use it: Je travaille dans l'administration. Les coûts de l'administration sont en augmentation. Le président a critiqué l'administration publique.

permettre The French word 'permettre' is the equivalent of 'allow' in English. It's primarily used to give or grant permission for something or someone to do something. It can sometimes also denote the concept of making something possible or enabling something. Like English, the verb 'permettre' is often followed by an infinitive verb in a sentence. Here's how to use it: Ce régime alimentaire permet de perdre du poids. Le professeur permet aux étudiants d'utiliser leurs notes pendant l'examen. Ce système permet de contrôler la consommation d'énergie.

parc The French word for 'park' is 'parc'. It is used in the same context as in English - a public, outdoor space where people can relax and play. Some common phrases include 'aller au parc' (go to the park) and 'jouer dans le parc' (play in the park). Here's how to use it: Nous allons au parc pour jouer au football. Je vais courir au parc tous les matins. Le parc zoologique est un endroit idéal pour les enfants.

ainsi The French word 'ainsi' is used in a similar way as 'thus' in English. It can be used to denote the consequence of something or to introduce an explanation. It is an important connective word in French, helping to introduce a result or effect, and is a common word seen in both written and spoken French. Here's how to use it: | |

houx The word 'houx' in French translates to 'holly' in English. It is primarily used to refer to an evergreen plant with red berries, traditionally used for Christmas decorations in many cultures. Just like in English, 'houx' can be used in various contexts where the holly plant or symbol is being referred to. Here's how to use it: J'ai un gros houx sur la gorge. Le chat est dans l'houx des feuilles mortes. Je suis fatigué et j'ai un houx de sommeil.
