French language Q&A Forum

j'ai faim pour la nourrive de mexicain ( i am hungry for mexican food).

did this make sense?

For the question "Je suis resté cinq jours à Mykonos, mais ________ à Paris", I was marked incorrect for answering "je ne suis que resté trois jours". The accepted answer was "je ne suis resté que trois jours". How does placing "que" before or after "resté" change the emphasis or meaning of this statement? "But I stayed only three days in Paris" vs "But I only stayed three days in Paris". I cannot see the distinction that makes one form wrong and the other right. 

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

As a native English speaker, interrogations makes no sense in this context.  The suggested vocabulary noted "existential questions" but it never appeared.  Instead, we got interrogations.   Seems like an oversight.

I translated mortgage as "hypothèque" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers. What's the difference between hypothèque and emprunt immobilier?

Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister? 

I used navré instead of désolé in this exercise. Is it fine?

Thank you

Hi,

I wonder why is it "sur Orléans" and not "à Orléans" ?

In this sentence - 'Je souhaiterais presque être né dans un autre pays, de telle sorte que ma langue maternelle m'ait préparé à ces défis linguistiques' - could you have instead 'Je souhaiterais presque être né dans un autre pays, pour que ma langue maternelle 'm'ait prépraré...' ?

Something strange is going on today - it’s not working properly
