French language Q&A Forum

Although this wasn't an advanced exercise, I found it somewhat challenging and learned some new phrases, (such as "casser votre tirelire; au fil des annees; and s'enticher de). 

But, I have some questions:

Why not "a ete etabli..." for "a ete fondu..."?

"Beaucoup d'artistes mondialement connus sont restes..." for " De nombreux artistes de renommees mondiale ont sejourne..."?

"...Ernest Hemingway est devenu enchante par..." for "s'etait entiche de, etc...."?

"et le bar du Ritz porte maintenant son nom" for "et le bar du Ritz porte aujourd'hui son nom"? (which actually translates to "and the Ritz bar carries his name 'today'" or "is 'today' named after him").

And, for "the fairy-tale like hotel, why not, "un hotel qui ressemble a un conte de fees"?

Merci beaucoup pour votre reponse !

Does the sentence 'Je bien sûr nomme...' also work ?

How does one write the sign for euro in this exercise ?

Merci.

J'ai choisi de faire .... qui combine langue, littérature et civilisation étrangères, Why do the three subject nouns not include a definite article ?

In the French written answer there should be a full stop instead of a comma in the line “Bien sûr Madame, On vous apporte ça tout de suite”. The corresponding line in English has a full stop.  Thanks. 

It would be good to see some examples with que as well, not just qui or qu'

"If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb"

It's been some time since I lived in France, but at that time a restaurant menu was called "une carte". Has the usage changed that much that "la carte" only refers to "un menu a la carte" these days?

Also - just want to point out that some of the sections are missing the oral reading link.

 Otherwise, a fun exercise and I learned a new word - "une couette"!

Merci

Is féerique a possibility in the last line?

I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?
