French language Q&A Forum

I encounter "hanoukia," the french word for menorah, most often spelled w/ two k's, ala "hanoukkia." Even here, there's an A1 quiz question "Nous allumons les bougies de la hanoukkia ________."

i thought with body parts it was usually 'les' which should be used.  In the suggestions during the exercise, there were options to use either. Does it depend on the verbe (trempe or plongé) ?

Am I right in thinking that once you have reached 100% at a level, you can continue practicing with the tests to improve beyond 100%? Is that better than moving onto the next level, which in my case would be C1

In the sentence: À qui sont ces balles ? ________ les miennes. Why can't I say 'ce sont les miennes'?

Hi Dear Folk,

Do you how to say, "the very benefits"  in French?

Of the bellow translation, which is the appopriate translation of "According to the 2017 State of American Vacation study"?

Selon l’étude sur l’état des vacances aux États-Unis de 2017 or Selon l'étude menée en 2017 sur l'état des vacances en Amérique.

Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.

In the example,  why is 'you would have been in trouble given as vous auriez eu des problems'? I would have expected 'vous auriez été .....'  What am I missing?

Bonjour,

Could one also say "On a volé mon sac"

I think i've seen it expressed that way somewhere.

Merci.
