Is there a difference between a swimsuit for a boy and a swimsuit for a girl? For example in English boys wear swim shorts or swim trunks is there a separate word for that in French? Thanks
Les paroles du médecin sont très confuses. Il parle confusément.
This sentence is best translated as "The words from the doctor are very confusing. He speaks confusingly".
What is the difference between reflechir and penser? Their usage are quite confusing.
Looking up the word for 'cooking pot' in Collins dictionary, I found two translations: 'une casserole' and 'une cocotte'. I am familiar with 'une casserole' being used more specifically for a 'saucepan' so I used 'cocotte'. I had completely forgotten about 'marmite', but was reminded of it after seeing it for the first time in many years - and, it makes complete sense.
My question: Is 'cocotte' incorrect here, and if so, how would it be used?
