cadet/ aineeI have heard cadet used to mean youngest of a group of siblings., as aine ( no accents on keyboard) is used to mean the eldest or first born. why can cadet not be used for youngest daughter . In your writing challenge you did not offer cadet as a possibility although for a previous sentence you used ainee for the oldest .

Demi/demieIs there a reason it should be "et demie" and not "et demi"? The former is the feminine and the latter the masculine form, right?

Does ‘Vas-y’ mean ‘Let’s go’ or ‘Go there’ or either, depending on context?

I’ve seen both answers given in the space of half a hour. Does it depend on context or is this a mistake? Or am I mistaken? Merci.

This one was confusing because in the placement quiz they ask you to translate "I am hungry", but then mark it wrong when you select "Je suis...". Then they say the correct translation is "J'ai faim". This is problematic because "J'ai faim" literally means "I have hunger". They need to be accurate with the literal translations in these cases because that's what clues you in to how you should word the phrase.
