My favourite 11 French words I’ve dictionary-checked this week are:
limace nf – slug
dévergonder (se) vpr – to fall into dissolute ways
moisson nf – harvest
prunelle nf (de l’oeil) – pupil (of eye)
hautain a – haughty
caracoler v – to prance/caper
puceron nm – greenfly
bambin nm – tiny tot/toddler
évincer vt (concurrent/president etc.) – to oust (a competitor/president etc.)
marguerite nf – daisy
ronces nfpl (branches) – brambles
I have been trying for ages (at least ten minutes) to write a sentence to end this post that incorporates every one of the above words but it is so difficult. The best I can do is:
“During the harvest, a greenfly with just one pupil prances through brambles and daisies like a toddler to try and oust the haughty slug king and force him to fall into dissolute ways.”
What a load of rubbish…
If anyone fancies a go, please write in the comments. I’d love to see your one-sentence attempts to link these all together! Two sentences would be just too easy.
