expérience

The French word 'expérience' translates to 'experience' in English. It can be used in various contexts such as work experience ('expérience de travail') or life experience ('expérience de vie'). Like in English, it can refer to the knowledge or skill gained over time, or an event or occurrence which leaves an impression. However, it is also important to know the context it is used in as it could also mean experiment, as in a scientific experiment.

Here's how to use it:

• J'ai beaucoup appris de cette expérience.
• Je n'ai pas assez d'expérience pour ce poste.

élection

The word 'élection' in French is used very similarly to 'election' in English. It implies a process in which a choice or decision is made by a group of people, typically through voting. It can be used in different contexts, such as a political election (élection présidentielle), an election in a club or organization (élection du comité), etc.

sac

The word 'sac' in French is used to refer to a bag, specifically a bag you would carry items in, such as a handbag, shopping bag or a sack. For example, 'sac à main' is a handbag, and 'sac de courses' is a shopping bag.

Here's how to use it:

• Où est mon sac?
• Il a laissé son sac à l'école.

dame

The term 'dame' in French is equivalent to the English word 'lady'. It is used to refer to an adult female or woman, primarily in formal or respectful context. Like 'lady' in English, 'dame' can also refer to a title of nobility, equivalent to 'Dame' in England. However, it is important to note the use of the term in context, as the social implications and uses can slightly vary depending on the region and spoken French variant.

Here's how to use it:

• La dame de la maison est revenue.
• Évitez de déranger la dame.
