Loyaux/fidèles

Rachel T.C1Kwiziq community member

I came across "Mes amis sont très..." with the prompt, "My friends are very loyal.", during a practice exercise mixed with other assorted grammar concepts. Not realizing at the time that it was an exercise to practice different -al endings, my first instinct was to put "fidèles" rather than "loyaux". Could "fidèles" be an alternative answer?

This question relates to:French lesson "Forming the plural of adjectives ending in -al in French"

Bonjour Rachel,

You are right that 'fidèle(s)' and 'loyal(-aux/-ales)' are synonyms in French. ;-)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
