Coffee's french questions
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2017 7:19 pm
Hi,
I’ve just started to learn French.
I am using busuu, a german textbook and assimil. So, I’m good covered with materials.
But a few questions came up:
1. I wrote the sentence « Je suis blonde et les yeux bleus » it was corrected to « Je suis blonde aux yeux bleus »
I looked up « aux ». It means “to the, at the”.
Actually I wanted to say “I am blond and have blue eyes.”
I don’t see the point, why should I use “aux”?
2. “Anne a les cheveux bruns” is one of the example sentence.
Les cheveux bruns means brown hair.
Okay, but is « les » not a definite article?
Either in German or English I would use an article there. Is it just something I must get used to in French?
Have a nice Sunday evening,
coffee
