I'm not sure any of those french phrases ever translate to "the"

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're right, they don't.

The ones beginning with "d" generally translate as "of the," while the "à" ones generally translate as "to the" or "at the."

French has three words that mean "the": "le" (masculine), "la" (feminine), and "les" (plural).

Right yeah I know. I was just allowing for some potential context I wasn't aware of
