Robespierre

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

marcy_

Créée?

Robespierre

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

marcy_

Doh!

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)

monet77

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

grandmere

Ils conjuguaient?

Pvoyageuse

anticonstitutionnel (which is also the longest French word).

monet77

Anticonstitutionnellement is longer.

hanl

I was thinking of jouaient, but conjuguaient is better!

hanl

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

baldrick

Not to mention aphrodisiaque...

hanl

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

Pvoyageuse

un orgue - des orgues
l'amour - les amours

hanl

cocofromdijon

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?

cocofromdijon

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