Why is the French word for noon ""midi"" instead of ""mijour""?.

French

Answer:

“Midi” etymologically comes from Old French. Hence why it seems to be out of place in Modern French.

Mi = half/middle

Di = day

“Mijour” sounds very odd.

We have, on the other hand, the word “mi-journée”, which means the same thing but cannot be used interchangeably with “midi”. The former is used to refer to a vague notion of “halfway through the day”, whilst the latter exclusively refers to a specific time : 12 o'clock.

ddd [48]

For example :

Il y a un magasin de vêtements situé à droite d'un magasin de chaussures (There is a clothes shop situated on the right of a shoes shop) (I'm not sure if my sentence in English is correct but the one in French is haha

Mon restaurant préféré est situé entre un Starbucks et un café. (My favourite restaurant is situated between a Starbucks and a café)

Le magasin dont tu parles est loin de l'entrée du centre commercial. (The shop you're talking about is far from the entrance of the mall)
