Wondering about the origin of the expression "Ouistiti"? And, the use of the expresson " Souriez" for "Say cheese" ?Well, so it's true: You do learn something new every day! And for me, it's the expression, "Ouistiti" !
I had looked up "Say cheese", (in both Collins and the Larousse), and found only "Souriez" !
I wrote "Souriez", which was marked wrong. Maybe, I should have written, "Souris" ! the second person imperative, instead of the formal/plural imperative?
Even when I search 'ouistiti' I can only find that it means 'marmoset', ("un petit singe arboricole d'Amerique tropicale et aux fortes griffes") Also that the expression, "Un drole de ouistiti" means " a bit of a weirdo" ("une personne bizarre"). Does anyone know the origin of the expression, "Ouistiti"?
Merci a tous et bonne continuation !
I'm confused about the difference between "les jours derniers" vs. "les derniers jours".
In the lesson, "les jours derniers" is translated as "these last days" while "les derniers jours" is translated as "these past few days." I'm having a hard time seeing the distinction.
Hello,
I see there's an example: "Quels bonbons tu as choisis?"
I guess that because "bonbons" is a COD in this question and it stands before the verb "choisi" so the verb has to accord with the COD --> it becomes "chosis"
But when I use deepL to try another example: "Which dress did she wear?"
The answer is: "Quelle robe a-t-elle porté?"
My question is shouldn't it be: "Quelle robe a-t-elle portée?"
Or is there an exception I didn't know about? More examples relating to this is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Jai choisit cette expression mais elle n'était pas juste. Votre ordinateur a remplacé 'des' avec 'les'. Peut-être que vous puissiez regarder ça ?
Could I technically ask Qu'est-ce qu'il y a la distance entre Paris et Lyon? Would that make sense considering "il y a" can be used in questions.

Above is the referenced quiz question, to which I answered 'you cannot say'. However, the results indicate correct answer is 'a woman'. This is incorrect. Since "ami" start with a voul, you must use "son" whether the subject is masculine or feminine, therefor, you cannot tell is Sylvie's friend is a man or a woman.
I have never seen "merci pour". From my knowledge, merci or remerci is followed by "de". Please provide further explanation on this topic or Is there a lesson on this within Kwizqi?

Is it right?
I am going to go and I will go seem the same in English. Can they be used this way in French? Is it a matter of preference?
Just wondering why these exercises aren't marked automatically. I think the whole thing would flow much better if we could go straight from one section to the next.
