| développer The French word 'développer' is used in the same context as 'develop' in English. It commonly implies the idea of growth, progress or expansion. It can be used in various contexts such as personal development (développement personnel), software development (développement de logiciel) or even to describe the growth of a city (développement d'une ville). Here's how to use it: Le pays a l'intention de développer son infrastructure. Nous essayons de développer de nouvelles techniques pour améliorer nos produits. Elle cherche à développer son propre style artistique. | |
| compagnon The French word 'compagnon' refers to a life partner or someone with whom you share a close relationship. It can also refer to someone you spend a lot of time with, such as a work colleague or travel buddy. In English, the term 'companion' shares these same contexts. Here's how to use it: Compagnon, pouvez-vous me donner cela? Mon compagnon travaille tard ce soir. Mon compagnon et moi aimons cuisiner ensemble. | |
| lui-même In French, 'lui-même' is used to refer to 'himself'. It is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and the object of the sentence are the same person. We use 'lui-même' when the subject is masculine. It can be used in different contexts, such as emphasizing importance or indicating that an action is done without any help. Here's how to use it: Il a conçu la maison lui-même. Il a réparé la voiture lui-même. Le peintre va vendre ses peintures lui-même. | |
| sol The French word for 'floor' is 'sol'. It is used in the same way as in English, referring to the surface of a room on which one stands. It can also be used metaphorically in certain phrases or expressions. Here's how to use it: Le soleil brille dans le ciel. Ne laissez rien sur le sol. Son rêve est de marcher sur la sol lunaire. | |
| réseau The French word for 'network' is 'réseau'. This can refer to networks of all sorts, including a computer network (réseau d'ordinateurs), a social network (réseau social), or a television network (réseau de télévision). Similar to English, it can also denote a system of interconnected things or people. In French, you might use it in the sentence 'Je fais partie d'un grand réseau de professionnels' which translates to 'I am part of a large professional network'. Here's how to use it: Il a la responsabilité de gérer le réseau informatique de notre entreprise. Elle participe activement aux réseaux de soutien. Le réseau de criminalité a été démantelé par la police. | |
