ply by typing English words.

➤ Explanation of Genders
French nouns are different than
English nouns in that they must
either be masculine or feminine. The
<m> means that the word listed
(e.g.,
chat
) is masculine. Likewise
an <f> would show the word to be
feminine.
Translating English Words
➤ Understanding Definitions
When you find a definition, you may see
that there are several different meanings
for your word. Here is an example.
1. Type
man
.
2. Press
ENTRER
.
This screen shows that “homme” is
the most common use of the word.
The capitalized words found in brack-
ets indicate there's another category
that this word could be used with. For
example, if you are talking about a
chess man, you would use the word
“piéce” instead of “homme”.
