Let's put this more directly. "Combien coûte-t-il ?" is slightly incorrect. You really should ask "Combien ça coûte ?" instead.

I'm french, and "Combien coûte-t-il" doesn't mean anything, it's better "Combien ça coûte"

Enchante should accept "charmed", which is more accurate than "Pleased to meet you".
jajaco2017

Enchante is more correct. Meaning "pleased to meet you

chamred would be: "charmed I´m shure"

Seconded. I went for "charmed" first. Also, I tried "could be" or "possibly" for peut-etre but somehow didn't hit on "maybe."

I cannot imagine a man saying "charmed" in English, but « enchanté » is absolutely "pleased to meet you".
Jiaozira

It means "Enchanted", or "Charming", as in "It's charming to meet you".

Delighted should be accepted also. It's often translated that way, if you've read any translations of French novels

Know very little French, but got all but three. (It helps to have a familiarity with other romance languages)

I think the first time I took this quiz I did pretty well but now I struggle a bit. My knowledge of French has been dwindling over the years.

3 of 20. :-(

Clearly I don't parlez vous Francais quite bon enough.

My best guess for "Je suis perdu" was "I am a chicken." Swing and a miss.

If anyone wants to know how to cheat this quiz, go to google and have it translate the page for you :D Instant 100% :P

To be serious though, it is a great quiz.

Why would you want to cheat? Isn't the object of taking the quiz to rest your knowledge and perhaps learn a thing or two? Cheating defeats that purpose somewhat, doesn't it?

Some of my research recently has involved French journals, so I've set my browser to automatically translate from French. I stared at the quiz for about 30 seconds trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing before it dawned on me what had happened.

judging by the comments in many, many comments sections, people don't see anything wrong with cheating... if i have one or two answers left, and no idea , even with 2 minutes spare i will give up...

Michael001 you are absolutely definitely wrong. Je t'aime means I love you. Just ask Serge Gainsbourg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Fa4lOQfbA

No, Je t'aime means only "I love you".

If the object were an "it" then you'd be right: Je l'aime meaning "I like it."

To say "I like you," it's Je t'aime bien. To say "I love it," try Je l'adore.

S'il vous plait is more literally "if you please". That should be one of the answers. That is part of RSVP -- Repondez s'il vous plait. It didn't occur to me to just put "please".

Am I the only person who wasn't able to find the meaning of "d'accord" because I kept typing "all right" and "fine", and never even thought of "OK"?

It's a great quiz for practising everyday small talk. But could these be type-ins for dummies like me?
