Mistral Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You could tryfestive (adj) festin (n)arrestation (n)bestial (adj)vestimentaire (adj)Can't think of any bâton ones off the top of my head (all that's coming into my mind is baston) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenderlady Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Think I interpreted this differently to Mistral, did you mean more French words?If so, what abouthôpitalforêtUsed to know loads of these but can't bring them to mind just now... will keep thinking!

Le_Jars Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Mistral - that looks convincing to me - does it look like a sensible question??There's another one that's foxing me:Trouve le nom qui correspond:fidele ->sincere->severe->tiede->obese->Correspond to what? I'm hoping something's missing!?Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenderlady Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 fidele -> fidélitésincere-> sincéritésevere-> sévéritétiede-> tiédeurobese-> obésitéIt's the noun which corresponds to the adjective.I thought your previous question was asking for other examples of words where the circumflex replaces an s, eg hospital => hôpital. Sorry if I misunderstood.Hope your daughter gets top marks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 As lavenderlady says I would think they are looking for the noun that has the same root as the ajdective. I would have given the same answers as her. As for whether it looks like a sensible question; well the reason I could answer so quickly is that my son has already had questions like this in primary and even in the brevet des collège at the end of troisieme you get questions about find the noun that corresponds with the adjective or sometimes even whole families of words.I wasn't sure about baston (it's probably slang) so I checked in the dictionary. it wasn't there but bastonnade was. It means hitting someone repeatedly with a stick (there's some useful vocab for us all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
