Understanding Definitions

When you find a definition, you may see
that there are several different meanings
for your word. Here is an example.

1. Type

man

.

2. Press

ENTRER

.

This screen shows that “homme” is
the most common use of the word.

The capitalized words found in brack-

that this word could be used with. For
example, if you are talking about a
chess man, you would use the word
“piéce” instead of “homme”.
