French - Which of the following is a word borrowed from the French language and used in the English language? A. Hôpital B. Appartement C. Banane D. Hors-d’œuvre

itsmehjay:

Please tell me you understand what I'm saying? ;-;

carmelle:

itsmehjay:

Timmyspu:

It is hospital in English

Timmyspu:

yea, thats kinda what I was going for

Timmyspu:

You are correct carmelle. Good Job!

carmelle:

thank you!

Timmyspu:

Of course vocaloid knows french so she might say something different.

Vocaloid:

Politely disagree with the previous response. It is asking for a word that is borrowed from French, but used in English. We do not use the word "Hôpital" in English. We use the word Hors-d’œuvre to describe small appetizers before a meal.

Timmyspu:

Oh, right I forgot. I haven't done french in a long time. By bad.

itsmehjay:

I was gonna a say something close to that that's why I was like "classy"

carmelle:

hold on, that actually makes sense.

itsmehjay:

Well duh

carmelle:

Thanks everyone~

Timmyspu:

Sorry carmelle for giving you the wrong answer.

carmelle:

Its alright, we all make mistakes :)
