Is it true that unlike mentioned in this lesson, Faux/Fausse can also come after the noun? And when it does come after, it has to mean "wrong". (..instead of "fake/false")?
- J'ai tapé un code faux et ma carte est bloquée.
- Malgré quelques réponses fausses, j'ai réussi l'examen.
Bonjour Aashpreet,
In both examples above, "faux" should be placed before the noun:
J'ai tapé un faux code faux et ma carte est bloquée.
Malgré quelques fausses réponses fausses, j'ai réussi l'examen.
Although "faux/fausse" is usually placed before the noun, it can happen to be placed after the noun (in which case, "faux/fausse" highlights an opinion):
-> meaning "not as it should be"
-> meaning "deceiptful"
-> meaning "deceiptful"
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
