Niki27 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 The oldest is the "aîné", the youngest the "benjamin" and the one in the middle is the "cadet" But again , the cadet is just "born second", you can be both the cadet and the benjamin of the family if you're second of 2 children, so people tend to get confused, I do for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 But anyway, I don't think there's another way to talk about the "middle child". Or is there? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Did you know I love MFC. Merci beaucoup mes amis The oldest is the "aîné", the youngest the "benjamin" and the one in the middle is the "cadet" l'aîné: the oldest sonle cadet: the son who was born the second le benjamin: the youngest son So in your case, the right word is "cadet" BUT it is usually mistaken for the youngest... so it's a tricky one. I understand benjamin from the Bible so that makes sense for the youngest. We don't have anything like that in English. Is it the same for daughters?

Emerald Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yep. You would say: l'aînée, la cadette and la benjamine ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fricadelle Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Merci:wub2: Je n'ai pas un job How do you say have you seen Mika in concert? Hi Stephanie and Welcome in Emilie's French class ! Have you seen Mika in concert? = "Avez-vous vu Mika en concert ?" (ou, si tu dis "tu") "As-tu vu Mika en concert ?" Enchantée:wub2: I have never hear coucou before, what does it mean? "Coucou" means several things : "Coucou" = "cuck-oo" like what the bird says. It is a familiar way of greeting. It means "hello" or "hi" in informal speech. You peep out and you say "Coucou !" = "Hi there !" = "It's me ! Hello, here I am". It can be a way to catch people's attention. Coucou is also the equivalence to the child game of Peekaboo. More about "coucou" here (explanations in English and/or French) : http://www.wordreference.com/fren/coucou Hope this helps ! A bientôt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
