| supposition The French word 'supposition' is similar in usage to the English word 'assumption'. It can be used when you think something is true, although you have no definite proof. However, while 'assumption' in English can sometimes imply a lack of necessary thought or investigation, 'supposition' often carries a slightly more analytical connotation. Here's how to use it: C'est juste une supposition, mais je pense qu'il pourrait pleuvoir demain. Sur la base de la supposition que nous avons tous les deux raison. La supposition est qu'ils arrivent tard à cause du trafic. | |
| conte In French, the word 'conte' is used to refer to a tale or a story, often with a moral or a lesson. It can be used in a variety of contexts, from children's bedtime stories to traditional folklore and fairy tales. The word is often associated with a narrative that is imaginative and entertaining, but also carries a deeper meaning or message. Here's how to use it: J'aime lire des contes de fées. Ce livre est un conte moderne. Le conte de Cendrillon est très populaire. | |
| web The word 'web' in French is also 'web'. It is often used in the context of the internet, as in 'World Wide Web'. However, it can also refer to a spider's web, which is 'une toile d'araignée' in French. Here's how to use it: J'ai trouvé cet article sur le web. Le web est un outil puissant pour l'information. Il faut être prudent lorsque vous surfez sur le web. | |
| à qui The French translation for 'whose' is 'à qui'. It is a possessive pronoun used in questions. It can be used in both formal and informal situations in French. For example, 'à qui est cette voiture?' translates to 'whose car is this?'. Thus, it serves the same purpose as 'whose' in English but follows a slightly different structure in sentences. Here's how to use it: | |
| but In French, 'but' is used as 'goal' in English. It is used in reference to an aim or desired result. For example, in the context of a sport like football or a personal ambition. It can also represent the object of a person's ambition or effort. Here's how to use it: Il est vieux, mais il est en forme. J’adore le café, mais il me rend nerveux. J'ai cherché partout, mais je ne l'ai pas trouvé. | |
