The French word for "to have" is avoir (a-VWAHR). Avoir is used in many common expressions in French. Here is an interesting example. In English, we use the phrase "I am thirsty" to let someone know we need a drink. In this sentence "am," the being word, is used. To make the same statement in French, the having word is used. The French phrase for "I am thirsty," j'ai soif, uses the having verb avoir. Even though this phrase literally means "I have thirst," we would translate it as "I am thirsty," because that is how we would say it in English. This is what the different forms of this phrase look like in the present tense.
* zh sounds like "g" in beige or "s" in measure. |
