| armée The term 'armée' in French is used in the same context as 'army' in English, referring to a country's organized, armed land force. It is a female noun in French and is used in various contexts such as discussing the military, history or geopolitics. Like in English, it can also sometimes metaphorically refer to a large group of people or things. Here's how to use it: Ma sœur veut rejoindre l'armée. L'armée a mis fin au conflit. Il sert dans l'armée de l'air. | |
| deuxième The French word 'deuxième' corresponds to 'second' in English and is used in similar contexts. It is suitable to use it in sequences, telling time, positioning, etc. For example, when indicating your standing after the first person, the term 'deuxième' is used. It's important to remember that the numbering in French employs 'deuxième' for 'second', unlike in English where 'second' and 'two' are distinctly different words. Here's how to use it: Pouvez-vous répéter la deuxième partie de la phrase? Le deuxième bus arrive toujours à huit heures. C'est le deuxième film de cette série que j'ai vu. | |
| guitare The word 'guitare' is a noun in French which represents a commonly used musical instrument, just like in English. It is used in the same context where you speak about guitar in English. For instance, 'Je joue de la guitare' translates to 'I play the guitar'. Here's how to use it: J'aime jouer de la guitare La guitare est un bel instrument Peux-tu accorder ma guitare? | |
| promenade In French, the word 'promenade' can be used to describe a short trip or journey, often by vehicle, for pleasure or leisure. It can also refer to a leisurely walk or stroll, especially in a park or scenic area. The word is derived from the verb 'promener', which means 'to walk' or 'to stroll'. Here's how to use it: Nous avons fait une belle promenade dans le parc. J'aime faire une promenade le soir pour me détendre. Avez-vous le temps pour une promenade après le dîner? | |
| autorité The French word 'autorité' translates to 'authority' in English. It is often used in the same context - to refer to the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. For example, in a sentence, 'Le professeur a l'autorité dans la classe,' translates to 'The teacher has authority in the class.' Here's how to use it: Mon père est l'autorité suprême dans notre maison. Il exerce son autorité pour maintenir l'ordre. Elle a l'autorité d'approuver ces demandes. | |
