Une fois deux or un fois deux

CONNOR M.A2Kwiziq community member

Would we not always say "un" fois deux. i am not sure why the example uses the feminine article "une". I understand une fois would translate more directly to "once" instead of one times (...). or is it that Une is agreeing with fois a fem noun?

This question relates to:French lesson "Doing arithmetic in French - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division"

Bonjour CONNOR,

From the lesson:-

"une fois deux / un multiplié par deux one times two"

As you have already indicated, fois is a noun of feminine category, so the article (une) agrees with that category of noun.

Bonne continuation
