| aller au bar In French, 'aller au bar' means to go to a bar. This phrase is often used when discussing social outings or plans to visit a place where drinks are served, such as a pub or tavern. The verb 'aller' means 'to go', and 'au' is a contraction of 'à' (to) and 'le' (the), indicating that you are going to a specific place, in this case, 'le bar' (the bar). Here's how to use it: Nous allons au bar après le travail. Je veux aller au bar ce soir. Ils vont aller au bar pour célébrer. | |
| moyen The word 'moyen' in French is translated as 'mean' in English. In French, 'moyen' typically refers to average or medium but can also denote mean in the sense of being unkind or cruel. The context will often dictate the exact meaning, similar to English language use. Here's how to use it: C'est un moyen efficace de résoudre le problème. Il a trouvé un moyen de contourner le système. C'est un moyen sûr de réussir. | |
| souris The French word 'souris' is the most common translation for the English word 'mouse'. It is used to refer to the small rodent that is often found in homes. In computing, 'souris' is also used to refer to a computer mouse. It is a feminine noun and its plural form is 'souris'. Here's how to use it: J'ai une souris sur mon bureau. La souris a mangé le fromage. Il sourit comme une souris. | |
| église The word 'église' is used in French to represent a place of Christian worship. It's normally used in the same contexts as 'church' in English. For instance, 'Je vais à l'église chaque dimanche' translates in English as 'I go to church every Sunday.' Here's how to use it: Cet artiste a peint une église dans son tableau. Nous avons visité une vieille église en Bretagne. La construction de l'église a duré dix ans. | |
| suggestion The word 'suggestion' in French is used exactly as it is in English. It can be used to propose something for consideration or discussion. Like English, it can also be used for subtle or indirect influence on someone's thoughts or actions. Here's how to use it: J'ai une suggestion à faire. Votre suggestion a été notée. Elle n'a pas aimé ma suggestion. | |
