french translation

[Magpies]

what is the meaning of the french word - genrille?

[~max~]

There must be a mistake somewhere, I've never heard of it!
Unless maybe it's old french or something?

[Eve]

Gracious I think.

[~max~]

One possibility would be if the R was really a T...

Gentille means nice, lovely, in the feminine form.

[Eve]

I found it here...

[gen2]

or Grenouille = frog

[~max~]

Yes, Jenna. With a T, not an R! lol

[Eve]

Could it be french spoken elsewhere like Morocco or Canada?

[~max~]

Nope, definitely not a word! Gentille, however, can be found in any dictionary.

[Eve]

Maybe just as well I gave up french and did law instead haha :)

Where did you see this word Magpies?

[lajohn]

i think your french is on trial, Max. :-)

[~max~]

lol Jenna! French is the ONLY thing I'm good at....lol
Well...academically anyway! ;O)

[squarebear]

I did French too and have never come across this word.

Genrille is the name of a friend's farmhouse in Northern France. He does not know what it means, hence my posting to Answer bank!

It probably doesn't mean anything then. We have houses round here called "Dunroamnin" and suchlike. Or it's maybe a place name.
