Bonjour Gillian,
Ennuyeux = boring / annoying:
C'est un livre ennuyeux = It is a boring book
C'est un homme ennuyeux = He is a boring man
C'est une affaire ennuyeuse = it is an annoying business
Ennuyant = upsetting / annoying - dated expression!
See the links below:
ennuyant - ennuyeux - cnrtl.fr/definition/ennuyant
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
Hi Gillian,
Have a look here: https://www.wordreference.com/fren/ennuyeux
In particular, see the "inflections" where there are the various forms of male/female/plural
Hope this helps.
Jim
