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

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.

Can you help me with this?
Usimov [2.4K]
The answer to "Que font les filles"
Les filles  se donnent la main pour faire une ronde.tout autour de la mer

Faire 

je fais
tu fais
il, elle, on fait 
nous faisons
vous faites
ils, elles font

the question should have been "What should the girls do ?  because the first sentence means
If all the girls of the world would like to join hands (or were joining hands) all around the sea....


so the answer would be "the girls should join hands = les filles devraient se donner la main.......


but the question is " Que font les filles ?' présent.

Hope I helped
