 In this sentence - I can hear "impatient" - without the e.

Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?

I have a question for a team member. The above sentence can translate as 1 One can’t park here (impersonal, general)  2 You can’t park here (also impersonal and general but less formal) or 3 We can’t park here (personal, specific) 

In English, the general sense of the first two is similar but the meaning of the third differs. Is that true in French as well, or are the various senses of "on" closer? Presumably it’s clear from context which one is meant.

Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"

Some vernacular examples would help.

Je peux dire ( Ferme le robiner ! )?

Merci beaucoup

your answer "ce qui me plait le plus dans ce métier"

should it not be "ce qui me plais le plus dans ce métier" ?

In this question, isn't there  more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit. 

Two simple questions:i

I retook the exercise and used 'observer' instead of 'regarder' as I think it would work just fine in this case, but it was marked wrong. From the dictionary entry it seems that observer would apply equally well in this case.

I also used 'le Moyen Age' instead of 'l'epoque medievale'. I realise that the latter is a more direct translation, but I am much more familiar with 'le Moyen Age'. Is there a general preference for one experession over the other?

Merci a tous !

What's the origin of se recueillir as a verb for "to meditate"? It seems so different than the verb recueillir meaning "to note" or "to collect". If one wants to say one is practicing meditation should one use se recueillir or méditer ?
