Hello, 'au pied de l'arbre' translates directly word for word- 'at the foot of the tree'

[@salehalqahtani5122]

Great video as usual👍.. Merci. Btw 2:39 should be masculine not plural 🤣

[@KimberlyGreen]

"tondeuse à gazon" ... lawnmower, sometimes abbreviated as mower.

[@datkakacho]

nice video, I only have difficulty to get this j'ai plus qu'a=I only need to? is this? thank u

[@danielecanci4893]

i have no choise but to...))

[@datkakacho]

@@danielecanci4893 thank you!

[@bryanfruge5320]

Bonjour! Ma faux = my [what?]. I couldn't understand. Love your videos!!!

[@howtubeable]

@Martin Wallace I thought that's what she said! But why would you use a scythe on a lawnmower?

[@christophernation4793]

@@howtubeable That was indeed difficult to understand, in English and also comprehend as an action. I think she meant that she was going to get her scythe out and cut the grass with it.

[@timdiggle5090]

J'ai jamais entendu la mousse pour décrire une bière - j'ai acheté une pression avec trop de mousse au dessus, mais jamais la mousse toute seule! Peut-etre que c'est un usage regional (ma mère était basque et ma jeunesse était passée dans un petit ville à peu près de Lille dans le Nord-Pas de Calais).

[@lohphat]

Is there any regularity in dropping vowels such as the middle “e” in “mannequin” and “Châtelet”?

[@gillybean9686]

If the "e" isn't accented it's usually omitted, like, au revoir =or-vuar samedi=sam-di etc

[@gillybean9686]

But...u must've meant are there any other vowels that are dropped? No. But there are contractions in pronunciation such as je suis= shwee, je ne sais pas=she pa and others

[@christophernation4793]

As Gilly Bean says, usually omitted. And FR people do this to English words too. It is almost inevitable that a FR politician or economist will refer to 'devlopment' or 'we must devlop ...' My pal French Franck, a banker, does this, with the stress on 'dev'

Le poêle et la poêle sont des mots très connus.

We say sum(somme) in english...

[@elysianemily]

Maintenant je suis fatiguée, alors je veux faire un somme

[@k.monteil...asalon9357]

Hi, a little confusing for the anglophones - your pronunciation of idea, should be ideA, (pronounce final 'a'), or else it sounds like ID= short for identification. Also adjective has the emphasis on the first syllable, ADjective, not adJECtive. Totally throws me off every time I hear you say it. And you use these words in almost every episode. Thank you for your great videos, and thank you for resuming this series. I've missed you. A bientôt! :-D
