QUIZ - "Winterize" or "hibernate"? "Alternative" or "dilemma"? Do you know these subtleties of the French language? Le Figaro invites you to discover it.


Find the right word, a whole program! The French language has many synonyms but also, words whose phonetic proximity can sometimes mislead us.

So "lush" is not "lush". The first indicates what is "very sensual" when the second means "overabundant". We say of a patient that he will "recover health" and not "recover health". We talk about the "tenderness" of a meat and the "tenderness" of a parent. If we behave "contrary to the principles of morality", we are "immoral" and not "amoral". Indeed, what is "amoral" is "foreign to morality".

Will you go to the end of this test on the right word? Le Figaro invites you to discover it thanks to Bescherelle: Le vocabulaire pour tous by Adeline Lesot.
