Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Que veut dire "un hameau" en français? What does "un hameau" mean in French?

Answer: A tiny hamlet or village

Sometimes this word is used for a neighborhood that is attached to a city but it doesn't have the same status. A ham hock is "un jambonneau" whereas a roast ham, well, it isn't too popular. "Un hameçon" is a fish hook.
2. The French verb "s'habituer" means?

Answer: to get used to, to become accustomed to

To live in, habiter, to get dressed, "s'habiller", to get undressed, "se deshabiller".
Je m'habitue petit à petit à tes cheveux violets= I'm gradually getting used to your purple hair.
3. Que veux dire "hair"? What does le verbe 'hair' mean?

Answer: to hate or despise

This is the older form, "je hais cette espece d'individu" = a really strong way of saying "I really hate that person". "Détester" is the common modern word for "to hate". Réspirer, to breathe, ouïr, is the older form of to hear, or else normally entendre is used instead in everyday French. Se dépecher is to hurry, there are several other alternatives though.
4. "La mauvaise haleine", voudrait dire? What does 'Mauvaise haleine' mean?

Answer: Bad breath

Hélène est mauvaise. La baleine est mauvaise. Hélène est méchante.
5. Si vous allez dans «une halte-garderie», qu'est-ce que c'est? What does 'Halte garderie' mean in English?

Answer: An occasional babysitting place, a childcare center

Une halte-garderie is often found in places where people might need occasional childcare, or babysitting such as a city, a vacation place, as opposed to a "crèche" or full-fledged childcare center that requires major paperwork to get a place for your baby.

The French national education guarantees education for all children, from 2 and half years old on. "La frontière" would be "the border". "Le douanier" is "the borderguard, or customs official". The painter Rousseau was thus known in French as "le douanier Rousseau".
6. Si vous mordez à l'hameçon, qu'est-ce que c'est? If you bite this, what is it?

Answer: a fishhook

L'hameçon is actually a fishhook. L'appat is the bait. Jambon is ham, sandwich au jambon a ham sandwich and "un jambonneau" is a hamhock (aka ham hock).
7. Si vous avez un hérisson dans le jardin, c'est quoi? If you have one in your garden, what is it?

Answer: a hedgehog

Though the French don't idolize the hedgehog like the Germans and Scandinavians do, they do like this little animal. The latter make cakes in its image. A bush might be "un buisson" or else, "un arbuste". A hedge by the way is, "la haie". "Un hareng" is "a herring", a mole, you've already seen it in the other quizzes, "une taupe".

By the way, at the time of this writing in the 2000s, the boy's favorite hair style is the porcupine look or hedgehog. Gallons of gel go onto boys' heads each day.
8. Si vos parents viennent vous chercher à l'école tous les deux, avec les grands-parents, c'est "la honte", donc qu'est-ce que cela veut dire? What does 'la honte' mean?

Answer: Embarrassment, shame

"La honte" is used very often in everyday French life, for shame, or great embarrassment. Teens use it the most. "La fiérté" is "pride", "La joie" is "joy".
I just thought though, maybe for some teens "the minivan" would be "la honte" too. Oh well.
9. What is « un chapeau haut-de-forme » ?

Answer: A top hat

"Chapeau-melon et bottes de cuir", is "The Avengers" as Steed wears the bowler and Emma Peel wears the boots. "Une casquette" is "a cap". An Easter bonnet, not sure, I'd probably have to think what they call the sort of Ascot hats the ladies wear. They do occasionally wear these, but it's not as common.
The "chapelier" still exists in some towns catering to older people.
10. Si vous "hurlez" vous faites quoi? What does 'hurlez' mean in English?

Answer: To cry out or yell

« Il hurlait de douleur. » It means he was crying out with the pain of something. To vomit=several words, vomir of course, but then one of my favorites, "gerber" which means to sow seeds or sprouts, only thing being that the brand name Gerber for babyfood isn't terribly appealing in French.

The use of "gerber" is closer to "to puke". To throw, jeter, balancer, several others. To run into something "heurter". Attention : "ce film risqué de heurter les sensibilités des spectateurs sensibles" is a common warning for a horror film or something similar. Meaning the film throws itself in your face? For a car crash, "la voiture bleue a heurté la barrière de plein fouet".

The blue car hit the fence with full force.
