Does anybody agree?

Following on from my question about queue and line.. if I recognise the problem and simply do not answer the question.. it keeps coming up time and again as the first question in a Kwiz.. am thinking it would be easy enough to create a rule that if somebody did not answer a question three times in a row it was highly likely that they were ignoring the question and Kwizbot should stop asking it.. at least for a week.

se faire

I see in an exercise that "I'm having new sandals made." is translated as "Je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales." I don't understand why the "me" is necessary in this case. I can see why for verbs like brosser, couper, raser, doucher, and so on. But not in this case. What am I missing?

Alsatian accent. Very funny!

I love this Alsatian news broadcast. So funny! The play on words are superb: Prime Minister Cresson and watercress; the S P meaning "ça prûle"; the Haut and Bas-Rhin with reins. So funny. Most of all, l had the acute feeling that l was in France, but maybe in Germany...maybe France? Great way to teach the discombobulation Alsatians have experienced over time through being attached to this country and then that and then this one again. The presenter's suit and tie etc., say it all. 😀 Thank you! A fun end to my French learning today.

When to use Devoir to express to need vs. to must have

I am having a difficult time deciding when devoir is appropriate and when it is not. All the other applications, I am ok with. But if devoir implies "must have" why is a purse a necessity? Why not just Avoir besoin? And why is sleep NOT a necessity (or I may be getting this confused at this point). This is getting to be more of a guessing/memorization thing than an actual understanding thing. I see from the previous posts that this has been discussed ad infinitum so it's not just me. Any easy way to decide when to use devoir and when NOT to use it in this context?

Thanks

Lui or la

Kwiz question " we see her tonight" answer "nous la voyons cet soir". I think it should be "nous lui voyons...if you follow the quick lesson.
