i've always been thought that à qui refers to a person and à + lequel refers to things? Can you explain?

Before the exercise I put the vocab given into Google Translate if I don't know them.  I didn't know "des jumelles" and it comes back "binoculars."     Larousse also says that les jumelles are an optical instrument.  However, since that made no sense, I put the whole phrase into Google Translate and it came back "the twins are twelve" -- which of course makes sense.  But for a beginner it was very confusing not to find the definition of "twins" for this word I didn't know.  Is it colloquial for jumelles to mean twins?

BTW, I look forward to the dictees every week.  Keep them coming!

Bonjour à tous,

Could you tell me how to say this in French ? Thanks

Bonjour Madame !

Thanks for posting such a captivating and mesmerising reader. But I would like to ask a question regarding a phrase which reads-

Bravo Papa! (rires) On n’arrivera jamais à faire de belles crêpes !

Indeed, here the Brown Bear comminicates with his dad but why is the verb ‘rire’ conjugated as ‘rires’ though I learnt from a lesson that it is - Il rit/ Elle rit/ On rit .

Is this a special way of expressing one’s emotions while transcribing in French ?

Merci d’avance ! Bonne journée !

Please can you explain why I can't use Le Samedi at the beginning of the sentence is wrong, yet in the explanation Le is being used!
