Ne savoirI was reading in the Louis Segond 1910 French Bible and came across this phrase: Or ceux qui vivent selon la chair ne sauraient plaire à Dieu. The English KJV puts this as: So then they that are in the flesh can not please God. I do not understand why using the conditionnel present of savoir along with ne means 'can not'. Is this an idiomatic phrase? Hopefully this question is clear enough to be understood!

Well, not a question on this theme exactly, but also about adjectives.

Trois sixièmes ou un demiI appreciate that exercise is showing how to write fractions. However, do they actually say "trois sixièmes" instead of "un demi" in everyday life?

The Doll's HouseJe sais que c'est un site d'apprentissage en français, mais "doll house" ne sonne tout simplement pas bien. "Doll house" a probablement ses origines en Amérique. Nous ne dirions jamais "a girl room" au lieu de "a girl’s room". En fait, cela semble pire que leur orthographe "math" et non "maths". L'apostrophe est essentielle, “ the doll’s house”. C'est mon anniversaire dans deux semaines et si vous pouviez remplacer "doll house" par "doll’s house", ce serait le meilleur cadeau d'anniversaire de tour les temps.
