[2024-09-29] Dream Destinations & French Vocab!

View in browser 
Today we are visiting Étretat, on the north coast of France.

Bonjour!

Imagine strolling through the cobblestone streets of Europe, only to find yourself dreaming of Japan's cherry blossoms. This month, we're not just exploring new places, but also expanding our French vocabulary with words that paint a picture: from the kingly 'roi' to the tender 'bébé', the majestic 'lion', and the art of 'admirer'. Plus, discover how data ('données') can unlock a world of language learning. Let's embark on this journey together!

données

The French word for 'data' is 'données'. It is used in the same context as in English, such as in the domains of computing, science, and businesses where information or facts are gathered for deep analysis, just that instead of 'data', 'données' is used.

Here's how to use it:

  • Nous avons perdu toutes les donnĂ©es.
  • J'ai collectĂ© ces donnĂ©es pour ma thĂšse.
  • Ces donnĂ©es sont prĂ©cieuses pour notre entreprise.

lion

The word 'lion' in French is also 'lion'. It is used exactly as it would be in English, to refer to the large, tawny-colored cat that is native to Africa and northwest India. Just as in English, 'lion' can be employed metaphorically in French to denote a brave or dominant individual.

Here's how to use it:

  • Le lion est le roi des animaux.
  • J'ai vu un lion au zoo hier.
  • Ce dessin reprĂ©sente un lion.

bébé

The French word 'bébé' is used similarly to the English word 'baby'. It can be used to refer to a child that is yet to walk or talk or as an affectionate term to refer to a loved one, such as a significant other.

Here's how to use it:

  • J'adore mon nouveau bĂ©bĂ©.
  • Le sommeil du bĂ©bĂ© est important.
  • La maman porte son bĂ©bĂ©.

roi

In French, the word 'roi' means 'king'. It is used in the same way as in English, to denote a male ruler of an independent state, especially one who inherits the position by right of birth. It can also be used metaphorically in various expressions or to symbolize someone or something in a supreme position.

Here's how to use it:

  • Elle rĂȘve de rencontrer le roi.
  • La puissance du roi est indiscutable.
  • Le roi et la reine sont mariĂ©s depuis dix ans.

admirer

The French word 'admirer' is used in the same context as the English word 'admire'. It is a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. For example, 'Je admire son courage' translates to 'I admire his courage'. It can also be used to express admiration for a person or thing, such as 'J'admire cet artiste' which means 'I admire this artist'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Je t'admire pour ta dĂ©termination.
  • Les enfants admirent leur pĂšre.
  • Nous pouvons tous admirer le coucher du soleil.
