People call French the language for lovers. That may be why people have an interest in a French dictionary. Of course, it might just be because they want to translate words from French, or learn the meaning of French words.
A French dictionary is common for people who study the language. This book shows English to French and French to English translations. Of course it’s very handy to have.
As time went by more French dictionaries were on the web. Alta Vista and now Google have translation services. Single words or even blocks of text can be translated. That’s useful when speaking with people from other countries.
Here are some words from a French dictionary. In English bread crisped over a heat source is called toast. There are a lot of different toasts. Of course French toast must be mentioned. The French phrase for this is pain perdu. It’s made by dipping the bread in egg and frying it. It can be topped with butter, fruit, syrup, or many other items including strawberries.
The toast in a French dictionary is given to honor something. We’re familiar with this when the best man toasts the bride and groom at a wedding reception. That’s en l’honneur de in French.
Bread can be found in the French dictionary. Pain is the literal French translation. It’s really loaf as in a loaf of soap. French people often enjoy panade – bread soup.
In a French dictionary word restaurant would be Caf?. The word is used in English too. If you own a restaurant in France you’re a restauranteur. In that language it’s a masculine noun.
In a French dictionary pomme is a potato. When turned into french fries the French would call it pommes frites. That was once explained on the popular children’s show Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. The phrase pommes de la soupe would be potato soup. Some who wanted cheese on a potato would ask for pommes du fromage.
