how are you: comment allez-vous?
i don't know: je ne sais pas
if you have a phrase that you'd like translated, just ask. i'd be happy to help. (:
(m) = masculin
(f) = feminin.
in french, adjectives, verbs, pretty much everything is defined by
gender. usually a feminin word ends with an "e" (ex. bon is masculin,
bonne is feminin)
pronunciation is in brackets and italics. just remember, that in french
when pronouncing a word that ends in 's', you don't pronounce the 's'
(at least, most of the time. there are some exceptions).
ex.
fille (girl) [ fee ] is pronounced the same when plural, filles.
