exact

The French word 'exact' is used in the same way as its English counterpart, meaning precise or accurate. It can be used to describe measurements, statements, or actions that are without error or deviation. In French, it is often used in formal or scientific contexts to emphasize the correctness or strictness of a standard or requirement. For example, one might say 'une mesure exacte' to refer to an exact measurement in a recipe or experiment. It can also be used in everyday language to express that something is correct or as expected, such as 'C'est exactement ce que j'attendais,' which translates to 'That's exactly what I expected.'
