| poids In French, 'poids' is used to express the weight of an object or a person. It can be used in a variety of contexts, such as 'Il a pris du poids' (He has gained weight), or 'Quel est le poids de ce colis?' (What is the weight of this package?). Here's how to use it: J'ai perdu du poids récemment. Le poids corporel varie d'une personne à l'autre. Le poids de ce sac est trop lourd. | |
| église The word 'église' is used in French to represent a place of Christian worship. It's normally used in the same contexts as 'church' in English. For instance, 'Je vais à l'église chaque dimanche' translates in English as 'I go to church every Sunday.' Here's how to use it: L'église est au centre du village. L'église est remplie de fidèles le dimanche. Nous avons visité une vieille église en Bretagne. | |
| métal The French word 'métal' is used in the same way as the English word 'metal'. It refers to a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are usually found in nature in their pure form or as an alloy, and are widely used in various industries for their unique properties. Here's how to use it: | |
| aspirer The French word 'aspirer' is a verb that can be translated to 'suck' in English. However, it is more commonly used in the context of vacuuming or sucking up liquids. For example, 'L'aspirateur a aspiré toute la poussière' translates to 'The vacuum sucked up all the dust'. In a more general sense, 'aspirer' can also mean 'to aspire' or 'to have an ambition', as in 'J'aspire à devenir un grand écrivain', which means 'I aspire to become a great writer'. Here's how to use it: J'aspire à devenir un grand chef. Vous ne devriez pas aspirer la fumée. L'aspirateur aspire la poussière. | |
| négatif The word 'négatif' in French is used to describe something that is not positive or that expresses a denial or refusal. It can be used as an adjective or a noun. For example, in the sentence 'Le résultat est négatif', 'négatif' is used as an adjective to describe the result. As a noun, it can be used to refer to a photographic negative or a negative electrical charge. Here's how to use it: Le résultat du test est négatif. Son attitude était assez négative. Ce film a reçu des critiques négatives. | |
