YES! I got 100, (and I don't know french)

Here is kinda how:

Arbre kinda sounded like arbor, arbor day, trees. Boat sounded similar. I read a book once and they delivered Pain de piece, Ordinateur sounds like Ordenador, Spanish for computer (at least one way of saying it). For some reason I knew what fish was, Wine sounded similar, I think Ville is common knowledge, Week is similar in Spanish, Herbe sounded like herb, the most similar to grass.....And I got pretty lucky on the rest. I remember reading somewhere that mansion was house in french, I guess it's maison

River = rivière. Fleuve has no equivalent in English.

I think both "fleuve" and "rivière" are equivalent to "river" in English. Whereas fleuve is generally used for larger rivers that empty into the sea, rivière is more typically used for rivers that empty into other rivers or inland bodies of water. English doesn't really distinguish though perhaps "rivière" might be considered equivalent to "tributary".

I agree. Just because fleuve is a hyponym of the English river, does not mean that river is not a completely valid translation in most contexts

The French equivalent to "tributary" is "affluent".

A "fleuve" is a river, whether large or small, that empties into the sea (size does not factor into this). A "rivière" is a river that empties into another river (until, eventually, one of them empties into a "fleuve"). Since both "rivière" and "fleuve" translate to "river", the clue is absolutely fine.

Wow. I've lived in a bilingual country for decades and took French in school for 10 years. I guess I was asleep the day they told us that "voiture" is car, rather than "auto".

I'm french and afaik Québécois people use the word "char" (tank) instead of "voiture".

Automobile and auto are valid in french too, but you'd sound like someone from the 1930s

Thank you Panic! at the Disco for teaching me what Pas de Cheval meant, now I can do this quiz! haha

Got most of the words because of the similarity with Portuguese, but am still upset I mistook poisson and pomme because I did not see pomme was an answer :(

In France, a "ville" is a town of more than 2000 inhabitants, but that's probably already not true in other francophone countries, and even in France, "ville" and "village" can colloquially be used interchangeably for all but the largest cities. Since there are no exact equivalents, and there cannot be any doubt as to the correct answer, the clue is fine as it is.

River doesn't really mean Fleuve : a river is smaller than a fleuve.

We say Fleuve when we talk about la Seine, the Tames, the Nile...

River is more like stream that come from a Fleuve

In English though, the Seine, Nile and Thames are known as rivers so fleuve is one translation, though obviously not the only one. Smaller waterways, such as the Medway, Stour and Usk are also known as rivers in English, so both rivière and fleuve in French could translate to the English term 'river'. The quiz is not asking for the only translation, just one possible one.

It's not the size of the river that matters, but whether or not it flows directly into the sea or another river.

Though the size matters to decide which is the main branch.

I'm not sure you're saying the same thing. Duke of Lorraine is saying that "fleuve" and "rivière" have to very specific and different definitions in France, and that size does not factor into it. But, since both are translated to "river" in English, the clue is fine as it is.

River in french is rivière not fleuve even though it's pretty much the same thing, the exact translation is rivière.

The quiz is not necessarily asking for an exact, literal translation, but a possible one. I think in French, the Seine is known as a fleuve, but in English it would be called a river.

The english "river" doesn't make the difference between "fleuve" (directly flows into the sea) and "rivière" (flows into another river). To know the proper french word that you should use to translate "river", you must look at a map xD

Exactly, so the French word 'fleuve' is one of the translations of the English word 'river'.
