translate "couverts" please
 

When making a restaurant reservation by email they have a "fill in the blank" type reservation request. What is "couverts"? (Cover?? what). Je ne parle pas francais.

Covers. IE the number of places you require.

Sooo - "couverts" would be for the number of persons and "pour" is maybe the time???

Yes, "couverts" refers to "place settings".

Pour is the french for 'for' so probably the site is asking for the number of people in your party.


Temps is the french for 'time'.

Hi,

if asking for a reservation, "heure" would be the translation for "time"
pour quelle heure ?

Yes, as others have said, couverts = covers (in restaurant speak), i.e. place settings.
It also means cutlery.

"4 couverts pour 20h" would be "a party of 4 at 8 p.m."

Maybe you should give a link to the site you're looking at or list the questions that are asked to get complete help.

Thanks!! I believe kerouac has it right for that site. It has couverts_____________________ pour_________________.
Happy travels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the website that translates. I will add it to my favortie list.

The phrase "mon aéroglisseur est plein des anguilles" will cover pretty much all you need in a restaurant.

Of course you mean <i>d'anguilles</i>, CW. Stop teasing us about your mastery of French.
