16 CardsLesson#1
In this deck, you'll learn how to talk about basic physical states, like being hungry, tired, or in pain. A key difference from English is that French often uses the verb 'avoir', meaning 'to have', to describe these feelings. Let's start with the most common ones.
Lesson#2
To say you are hungry or thirsty in French, you use 'avoir faim' and 'avoir soif'. Literally, this means 'to have hunger' and 'to have thirst'. For example, 'J'ai faim' means 'I am hungry'.
Quiz#3
Translate into French: 'I am hungry.'
J'ai faim.
Quiz#4
How do you say 'She is thirsty' in French?
Elle a soif.
Lesson#5
The same pattern with 'avoir' applies to temperature. To say you are cold, use 'avoir froid'. To say you are hot, use 'avoir chaud'. For instance, 'Nous avons chaud' means 'We are hot'.
Quiz#6
Translate into French: 'He is cold.'
Il a froid.
