I have a school project, and was wondering if anybody could tell me if this sentance makes any sense, at all...

Il a combien amis.
I want it to say ... He has many friends...

Combien means "how many" or "how much"

Many is beacoup

So . . . Il faut beaucoup d'amis I think.

Thank you!

yup thats right

Yay!!

I was refering to Charly, my dog... lol

It's kinda depressing... He has more friends than I do...

Hee hee, not from canada but wanted to see if there was a french topic--- there is, obviously. I speak french a LOT and if anyone needs any help (well u all probably speak it lots better than me) just tell me. Oh, yah, and "Il a beaucoup d'amis" works too.

I wish I could speak french...I can only speak german and englishLol

I don't think that's quite right, improper use of the verb "a" But I can't for the life of me think of the totally correct sentence right now.

I grew up bilingual (speaking both French and English), but it's been years since I really used my French. So I can usually pick out when something doesn't look right, but I can't always tell you what IS right

i think they both work. I am in grade 7 french immersion so I speak french for about 6 hours a day. I LOVE FRENCH. If anyone has french homwork you should just ask. I saw the post and saw that there was the word "FRENCH" so I had to come and check this out.

Il faut beaucoup d'amis means He needs lots of friends. That's what my French teacher told me...

No it doesn't . . . Il a besoin de beacoup d'amis means he needs lots of friends.

Kelly

I think actually Il faut beaucoup des amis means "he has to have lots of friends"

Courtney

That's what she said! I knew it was something along those lines... lol

"Yo hablar espanol!" means "I to speak Spanish!"

It should have been Yo hablo, or just hablo because the yo is understood.

J'ai pris quelques classes françaises à l'école mais ne l'ai pas utilisé beaucoup.

Hey, Im new!!! This is my first year!! lol

Yo hablo Espanol

hows that?

J'ai pris quelques classes françaises à l'école mais ne l'ai pas utilisé beaucoup.

Does that mean something like I teach french classes at the school, but I don't understand very much?

Or something along those lines?

Alot of posts here!!

I took some French classes at the school but did not use it much.

It means I have taken some French classes in school but I haven't used it very much.

I took French immersion up until Grade 10 (from kindergarten on), and I grew up speaking French. But then I went on exchange and lived in Denmark for a year, so now my French often gets garbled up with Danish. Then NOBODY understands me LOL
