French language quiz
 

Name a word that contains three of the letter 'e' in a row. (Remember: you agreed that it looks weird to anglophones.)

Créée?

Excellent. (Didn't fall for the "you agreed" (agréée) bait, eh?) ;)

Doh! :-O

Faux ami, Robespierre!

This could be a fun game to play.
Who can think of a French word that contains all 5 vowels?

(conjugations of verbs accepted)
(and there's a clue in this post)

I didn't get your clue, but aperiodique contains all five vowels in order

Ils conjuguaient?

anticonstitutionnel (which is also the longest French word).

Anticonstitutionnellement is longer.

I was thinking of jouaient, but conjuguaient is better! :)

Oh, and aperiodique and anticonstitutionnel(lement) are better answers than mine too!

Not to mention aphrodisiaque...

Does anyone know a word in French which is masculine in the singular but feminine in the plural?

un orgue - des orgues
l'amour - les amours

:D

You have to add an adjective to notice the gender has changed.
You won't know with only "un orgue, des orgues" but if you say "un grand orgue, des grandEs orgues"
"un grand amour, des amours éterneLLEs" :-)
Well done everyone!

>"un grand orgue, des grandEs orgues"<

Hmmmm.

French men have one organ, but French women have two organs?

((I))

Hi Ira :-)
The word for these organs is organes which is always masculine, "un organe féminin". L'orgue is a musical instrument. ((8))
