How would you say in French the curiosity.
Like curiosity.
The activity.
L'activité le activité.
This last little cognate maker the i.t becomes i.t reminds me of Francis motto.
You might have seen it.
Liberté égalité.
Fraternité.
That's the motto for La République Francaise, which means the French Republic.
So those three words Liberté, Égalité and Fraternité are France's motto, which dates back to the French
Revolution.
It appears on French one and €2 coins.
So have a look.
Next time you get your hands on some French euros and you'll see Liberté Égalité Fraternité.
What that means is liberty, equality and fraternity liberty, liberty, égalité equality, fraternity,
fraternity or in English we tend to use the more Anglo-Saxon words freedom, equality and brotherhood.
Liberté.
Égalité Fraternité.
Vive la France.
Vive la France means long live France.
Vive la France.
So that was seven rules for forming cognates in French.
I see Al or I see on the end of a word becomes IQ e EQ.
So, for example, magic becomes magic.
Ioane stays the same.
For example, the tradition becomes la tradition.
Belly stays the same, for example.
Terrible, terrible.
All you have to do is make it sound more French.
So you just change the pronunciation of the words.
Words that end in n t stay the same, for example.
Important and important.
Where's that end?
In every ally become ere a Iree temporary becomes temporary words that end in ori 0ry become wah 0ire
for example, victory becomes victoire.
And then words in English that end in t y get changed to words that end in t with an acute accent on
the E and they're always feminine.
For example, liberty becomes liberty.
So I hope you enjoyed this lesson where we learnt about the seven little hacks for turning English words
into French.
If you add up all the words that end in the letters we spoke about, it makes hundreds of thousands
of words by knowing about these cognates and how to form them.
It just gives you more confidence to speak.
I will say, though, that these cognate rules don't work 100% of the time.
There will be words here and there that don't quite fit with the rules, but don't worry too much about
those.
For now, let's do a little bit of practice with those seven rules.
