Bonjour

Many idiomatics French phrases use the verb FAIRE.

In English, it woul be more often "to go", "to be", a verb, than  "to do"

But in French, eventhough we have verbs for the same meaning, we  very often use "faire"

Faire le ménage = to do the housecleaning

Faire du foot  = to play football (<em>jouer au foot)</em>

Faire du vélo = to ride a bike

Faire la cuisine = to cook <em>(cuisiner.. the meaning is a little bit different . Faire la cuisine = you're cooking at home for lunch, dinner, as usaul.. cuisiner is going to be more special ..</em>

Faire mal à quelqu'un= to hurt somebody

Faire une promenade = to go for a walk <em>(se promener)</em>

Faire un voyage = to go on a trip <em>(voyager)</em>

Faire peur = to scare

Faire à manger = to do the cooking

Faire jour = to be daytime

Faire attention = to be careful

Faire la fête = to party

Faire la tête = to be in a bad mood

Faire des économies = to save money <em>(économiser)</em>

<em />

In fact, as you see, I wrote some verbs italicized meaning the same, but we won't use those verbs in an every day conversation.....

I tried to explain, but it's not that easy  ...!!!

hope it helps somehow ☺☺☺

Scorpion4ik [409]

Bonjour,

J'ai trouvé une bonne solution pour mon logement: je loue un appartement avec Hawa et Mélanie, deux filles très  sympa que j'ai rencontrées à la fac. On a toutes les trois notre propre chambre, et on partage le salon et une petite cuisine. L'édifice est un peu vieux mais il est intéressant. En plus, nos nouveaux  voisins nous adorent, car les anciens locataires (renters) faisaient beaucoup la fête et nous sommes beaucoup plus calme  qu'eux!
