TO THE READER.

In the preparation of the Soldier's Service Dictionary of termsand phrases, with their French equivalents, the endeavor has

been to provide a key to the military and conversational terms

used in the Belgian, British, and French armies that shall in-

stantly serve any one who consults it, and thus measure up to

the maxim "prompt service is true service."

It is assumed that the person likely to consult this book

speaks and understands English; that he knows in Englishwhat he wishes to say in French, and that he wants to knowhow to say it, and say it promptly so that he can be under-

stood. For example, suppose he wished to ask in French:"Where is the enemy?" he would look up these English wordsin their vocabulary places, thus obtaining the French equiva-lents "Oft (where) est (is) 1'ennemi (the enemy)?" or, as indi-

cated phonetically, u e len"v_,na-ml', which form the sentence

required. As many phrases are given under the important word,this should always be looked up first, to save time. For instance,if he wished to say in French: "Bring up the horses!" by turningto the word horse in the vocabulary he will find the French

phrase in full: "Faites venir les chevaux!" with its pronuncia-tion. If he wanted to say "Give me some breakfast, please,"he would turn to breakfast and there find the needed phrase.

Instead offollowing the

beaten trackby grouping the termsin this book under several heads, divided and subdivided, as

has been done by compilers of other works that aim to coverthe subjects of which this treats, the entire contents, whichtotal more than ten thousand terms, are presented in one

alphabetical order, and, as explained above, the related phrasesare grouped under the most important word in the phrase.As will be seen by consulting the key to the symbols used

for indicating the pronunciations of the various terms the guide

contains, the plan followed throughout is to give the chief

vowel sounds the same values that they have on the continentof Europe: a as in art; e as in prey; i as in

police;o as in

go, and u as in rule. Variations are indicated by different

letters one, and one only, for each sound throughout the

alphabet (see page xii). The Editor invites the cooperationof all persons who are interested in making this the most

complete and most serviceable book of its kind to those for

whose use it has been designed and compiled.To simplify the study of the positions of the different parts

of speech and the inflections and irregularities of French verbs

brief explanations are included together with a concise table ofverbs in an Appendix to the main vocabulary.

PRONUNCIATION

OF FRENCH VOWELS, DIPHTHONGS, ANDCONSONANTS.

In most of the languages of Continental Europe the vowels

have Latin values: a as in "art"; e as in "prey"; I as in

"machine"; 6 as in "go"; and u as in "rule." Persons whospeak English need to be cautioned against pronouncingforeign long vowels as diphthongs. In English long e with

most speakers ends with a light i resonance (that is, as a

diphthong, e9; long 6 is generally turned into 6"; long u intouu. But in German, French, and European languages generally,

these vowels are to be pronounced without the i or u elementat their close. Foreign vowels are generally tenser than

English vowels.

VOWEL MODIFICATIONS.

In French the vowel*sounds, as we know them in English,

are modified in two ways, by "rounding" and by becoming"nasalized."

"Rounding" is the effect on a speech-sound of pursing the lips

till the orifice is roundish, as in sounding English u (boot). In

English only back vowels are rounded;in some other languages

certain front vowels are thus modified.

(1). Rounded I. To make it, say I (as in see, machine), at

the same time pursing the lips as for u (in rule). Thesymbol used in this guide is ti.

(2). Rounded e. Say e (as in fate), at the same time pursingthe lips. This is the sound heard in French (eu), German(long o). etc.

(3). Rounded e or a (really a sound between e and a).

Make such a sound, at the same time pursing the lips.

The sound is heard in French (eu), German (short o), etc.

The English sound nearest to these last two is the

u of burn (burn), and hence the symbol here used for

these two rounded vowels is u. But the foreign soundsare not exactly u.

(4). In French are heard "nasal" vowels, that is, vowels to

which a nasal quality \s imparted from the fact that,

while they are being sounded, the passage through the

nose is open ass well as that through the mouth. Hence

part of the voiced breath escapes through the nose andreverberates in the nasal cavities. The nasal vowels are

not vowels followed by n or rj, but simply vowels that

receive their qualityor

timbre from resonance in bothmouth and nose instead of in mouth alone. In this

dictionary nasality in a vowel is indicated by adding to

the symbol of that vowel the symbol n; whence an =nasal a, an = nasal a, etc. Many Americans, in their

normal speech, unconsciously pronounce some or all of

their vowels with a nasal quality; hence they are in

danger of making the foreign vowels too strongly nasal, a

practise which should be guarded against with all possiblecare.



VOWELS AND CONSONANTS. ix

In the following table the components of each diphthongare shown:

Diphthong. French sou mix.

ia = I + a (I as in police + d as in art), as French

viande (yl"dhd').iai = I + e (I as in police + a as in fare), as French

liaison (ll"awzen

/

).

i6 = i + 6 (I as in police -f e as in prey), as French

prie (prl^ye').ie = I + e (I as in police + a as in fare), as French

piece (pl"^,yas').

In the following the division occurs after the i, and each

diphthong represents two sounds. The nasal sound is addedin some cases:

io as in French idiot (I"dl"^ |ienasinFrench^iVn(bI"^y:in').yo').

ian as in French expediantr

dn'). ieu as in F-ench lieu

iau as in French miaulrr

ient as in French patient (pu"-

ion as in French portion (por"-

oi = o + a (o as in obey + d as in art).

Preceded by a consonant oi sounds like wa; as in French foi

(fo-d or fwd).

Diphthong. French sounds.

oin = o + in (o as in obey + a as in at): as in Frenchloin (Iwan).

oua = ou -f- d (C as in rule + d as in art) : as in Frenchsecoua (se"ku"d') .

oui = ou + I (C as in rule + I as in police) : as in FrenchLouis (lu"I').

ua = u -f d (ii as in French dune + d as in art) : as in

French nuage (nii'dj')-*

ui = u -f- 1 (ii as in French dune + I as in police) : as in

French pluie (plwl).

uin = u + in (ii as in French dune + a as in at) : as in

French Juin (3wan).

CONSONANT MODIFICATIONS.

Consonants in foreign languages (with some exceptions)are more carefully, and often more firmly or energetically,

enunciated than in English.

(5). What one may call "palatalized" consonants are

by combining the sound y with the normal consonants.

Palatalized 1, for example, is not 1 followed by y (as one

hears it in brilliant), but 1 and y merged into one an 1

made by raising not the tip of the tongue to the uppergums, but the front of the tongue to the front

iart

of the palate above it. Palatalized n is made by raising

the front of the tongue just as for y, but further, until

it is pressed against the front palate. After such a

palatalized consonant there will almost unavoidably bea more or less distinct y heard as a glide to a following

vowel; and the symbol used in this book for these conso-

nants is a combination of the appropriate consonant

symbol with the symbol y (ny, ly, etc.). But such a

symbol as ny is not to be interpreted as n followed byy, but as an n made at the same place in the mouth as

y is made. It should be noted that the so-called l-mouill3

* The symbol 3 = zh. See Number 9, page xi.



x VOWELS AND CONSONANTS.

in French (spelled -41, -ill) has in the best standard pro-nunciation ceased to be an 1 and is pronounced simplyas y.

(6). Two r's are heard in French, (a) In French, German,etc., a trilled r is heard. It is made by raising the tipof the tongue almost to the upper gums and setting the

tip to vibrating or fluttering against the gums, (b) The"uvular" r, made by raising the back of the tongue close

to the soft palate and by means of the stream of breath

setting the uvula to flapping in the narrow passage. In

Continental (European) languages the uvular r is frequent.

(7). Strictly native words in French, Italian, Spanish, and

some other European languages, do not use the letterw, which appears, in the main, only in borrowed words.

In some native words, however, a sound like w is heard,

represented by other letters. In French, for example,there are two w's, one represented by u (as in nuit), the

other by ou (as in oui). They differ in that the first

(that represented by ) begins with the tongue and lips

approximately in position for "rounded" I [see VOWELMODIFICATIONS (1)], and the second begins with a positionsimilar to that for.u is, in fact, about the normal English

w. The sound of French ui would, then, be more nearlyrepresented by iii; but to avoid multiplying symbols the

one symbol w is used in this dictionary to represent boththe normal w sound (which begins with u) and this other

w (which begins with u).

(8). English f and v are made by placing the lower lip

against the upper teeth. In some other languages, as

Spanish and Latin (Roman method), similar consonants

are bilabial, that is, made between the two lips. Such a

yis

like an English w, except that the lips are not pursedinto a roundish opening, but are spread, the voice escap-

ing, not all at the center, but between the lips along their

total length. When the lips separate, they do so all at

once, not with the gradual widening that marks the

English w.

In French words no one syllable has a decided accent,

but nearly all syllables are uttered with equal stress of

voice. To an English ear a chief stress seems to fall on

the final syllable; hence, in this guide, the

primaryaccent

(') has been placed over the last syllable of most French

words, and the secondary accent (") on the other syllables

(except over obscure e), to indicate a careful enunciation

of all the unaccented syllables.

VOWEL AND CONSONANT SOUNDS.

1. arepresents

sometimes a, but generally a sound between

a and a: (1) a =d, in the endings -as, -az (when the s or

z is

pronounced, andoften

whens is

silent), -ase, -azon,-aille; and when circumflexed (a); (2) a (in most other

cases), d, and d are pronounced with a sound near that of

a, but not so "flat" as this English vowel. French a

approaches the sound a especially before the final sounds

b, d, g, 1, m, n, ny (that is, the letters b, d, g, I, m, n, gn whenthese are pronounced) ,

and before final -ve, -ge. oi wdwhen following r, and in the ending -oie; in most other

cases ot = wa (with a not so "flat" as the English a).

2. (1) e before a

pronouncedconsonant, before final silent

t, is, and final silent s in monosyllables; ei, ai (except the



VOWELS AND CONSONANTS. xi

verbal ending gai) ; e, e; ay, ey all are pronounced as e

(really a sound between e and a). (2) e; e followed bya silent final consonant (other than t); o,i (when it is a

verbal ending) all are pronounced as e.

3. (1) o when it is the final sound in a syllable (that is, it

may be followed by silent consonants), and o in the end-

ings -ose (and generally before an s which has the value

of z), -me and -ne; 6, 06, au, eau all are pronouncedas 6. (2) o not as above, and au before r,

= e.

4. eu, ceu, not followed in the same syllable by a pronouncedconsonant, or in a closed syllable ending with the sound

ofzor

t(-euse, -eute, -eutre),

eu ="rounded"

e[see VOWELMODIFICATIONS (2)]: otherwise, eu, ceu, and always ue,

CB before *il, -dUe (=

y),= "rounded" e [see VOWEL MODI-

FICATIONS (3)J.

5. For pronunciation of w, it u, see VOWEL MODIFICA-TIONS (1).

6. e when final in unstressed syllables =9; at the end of

a word it is usually silent (as in English).

7. Final d, g, n, p, s, t, x, and z are usually silent. Butwhen the following word begins with a vowel, "liaison"

may occur. These consonants (not in all cases; no rule

can be given) are then pronounced as if beginning the

following word, d being sounded as t, g as k, s and x as

z. r is silent in the final syllables -er and -ier. h is in

most words silent.

8. c before a, o, u = k; before e, i, y =s; f

= s. ch = sh;

but when final or before a consonant = k. q and qu

generally=

k.

9. g before a, o, u =g; before e, (y)

=3; ge before a, o,

u also =3. The sound of j is indicated by 3 (

=zh).

10. gn = "palatal" n [see CONSONANT MODIFICATIONS (5)].

11. i7 after a vowel =y; ill = ly [see CONSONANT MODIFICA-

TIONS (5)]; also i before a vowel =y, unless a group of

consonants precedes. By y is here meant the initial stageof the sound, not its consummation.

12. m, n, final or before a consonant, other than m, n, are

silent, but impart to the preceding vowel a nasal quality.

In such conditions, am, an, em, en, = an (but final en

preceded by the sound y = an, not an); aim, ain, eim,

ein, im, in, ym, yn = an; om, on = eh; oin = wan; and

um, un = un (or an). [See VOWEL MODIFICATIONS (4)].

13. s between vowels = z.

14. -ti- =-si-, or -ty-; a rule cannot be stated.

15. French has the letter w only in some foreign words;

but the sound is heard in French words, spelled ou (as in

ui); and it is, further, the first element in the sound

represented by oi (= wa or wa), and by oin (= wan).

A similar sound is spelled with u (as in nuit, nuage); but

the sound of u in these words is not exactly w; it diffr

from w in that it begins with the organs in position i

(i, not for u [see CONSONANT MODIFICATIONS (8)].

16. x between vowels generally

= z.

Otherwise,x = ks.

bor, guttural,

martyrdom.i (unstressed) as in

lege, valley,Sunday, cities,

renew.

The single accent (') Indicates the primary or chief stress; the

double accent (") indicates the secondary stress. The ligature (^,)

when used in connecting two consonants indicates that the sound of

the first consonant is carried over to the second, as in accommode-ment: ak*_kem*^mo*da-man'. When connecting two vowels, as in

position: p5*zrsl*^,yen', it indibates a rapid utterance, almost ob-

literating the syllable division. The double dagger (t) Indicates a

variant form.

SOME ELEMENTS OF FRENCH GRAMMAR

There are in French nine parts of speech, namely: article,

adjective, noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunc-

tion, and interjection.

ARTICLE. There are three sorts of articles, the definite,

the indefinite, and the partitive.

The definite article the is le before a masculine noun, la

before a feminine noun, and les for both genders in the plural

(le lirre, la H'^vra, the book; la pomme, la pern, the apple;les lirres, le ll'vra, les pommes, le pern, the books, the apples) .

The indefinite article a, an, is un before a masculine noun,

and une before a feminine noun (un manteau, an man"to', a

cloak; une table, un td'^bla, a table). Hence it may be de-

duced that both articles always agree in gender and number with

the nouns to which they relate.

When the article le or la is to be used before a noun or adjec-

tive beginning with a vowel or an h not aspirate, an apostropheis put in the place of e or a, so that the article and the noun

or adjective form one word (I'or [ler] for le or, the gold;I'histoire [lls"twar'] for la histoire, the history; I'ancien [lah"-

sf^yan'] for le ancien, the senior or elder). When there is oc-

casion to use the article le immediately after the preposition

de, of, from, by, with, in, upon, out of, some, any, for, at, to,

both are contracted into du, of the, from the, by the, some,

any; the same contraction occurs in des, of, instead of de les;

au, to the, instead of d le, aux instead of d les; but it does not

take place when le is followed by a noun or adjective begin-

ning with a vowel or an h not aspirate (de I'or [da ler], of the

gold; de I'homme [da lem], of the man; de I'ancien monde [da

lah'si'^yan' mond], of the ancient world).The partitive article is du, de la, de V (before a vowel or

an h not aspirate), des, according to the gender and numberof the noun (du pain [du pan], some or any bread; de la haine

[da la han], some or any hatred; de I'hdtel [da lp"tel'l,of the

hotel; de I'or [da ler], some of the gold; des poires [ae pwar],some of the pears) ; but after a negation, or before an adjectivefollowed by a noun, de alone is used without any distinction of

genderor number (il ne

mange pasde

pain[II na

mdn'^a pada pan], he eats no bread; nous avons de bon mn et de belles

figues [nuz^a'ven' da ben van e da bel flg'a], we have good wineand fine figs).

ADJECTIVE. The adjective agrees in gender and numberwith the noun to which it relates, and this difference of genderand number is generally marked by the termination of the

adjective (un beau ckeval, a fine horse; une poire mure, a ripe

pear; les beaux arts, the fine arts).

Adjectives ending in e are of both genders (homme aimable,

amiable man; femme aimable, amiable woman). Adjectivesending in d, e, eur, i, t, u, form their feminine by the addition

of an e (grand, grande, great, large; sensS, sensee, sensible;

interieur, interieure, interior; poli, polie, polite; gratuit, gratuite,

gratuitous; tortu, tortue, crooked, twisted); the same additionis made to those ending in ais, as, eil, el, es, et, ien, il, on, os, ot,

ul, but the final consonant is doubled (epais, epaisse, thick; pa-reil, pareille, alike; net, nette, clean, neat; bon, bonne, good; sot,

sotte, foolish). Adjectives ending in / change it into ve (naif,>iai ve, simple, unaffected), and those ending in x change it into se

(jaloux,jnlousi', jealous). About thirty adjectives ending in au,

c, g, ou, x, have quite irregular plurals which are indicated bythe French dictionaries (beau, belle, beautiful; blanc, blanche,

163



164 SOME ELEMENTS OF

white; long, longue, long; benin, btnigne, benign; fou, folle,

foolish; doux, douce, soft; faux, fausse, false; vieux, vieille, old);others ending in r (cher, chere, dear), and

eightothers

endingin et form their feminine by adding e, and require a grave accenton the penultimate e (inquiet, inquiete, anxious, uneasy).

Adjectives ending in c, d, e, 6, f, g, i, n, t, u, form their plural

by the addition of an s (grand, grands; poll, polis; intelligent,

intelligents) . Adjectives ending in s or x do not change their ter-

mination in the plural (gros, big; hideux, hideous); those endingin au take x in the plural (beau, beaux) ;

some of those in al take

8, as fatal, fatals, final, finals, naval, navals; others change their

termination into aux (egal,egaux, equal; amical, amicaux, ami-

cable); but most of them have no plural masculine (frugal,frugal, etc.).

Of the three degrees of comparison, the positive is the ad-

jective in its simple state. The comparative of superiorityis formed by putting plus (plii) , more, before the adjective (plus

joli, finer; plus illustre, more illustrious) ;the comparative of

inferiority, by prefixing moins (mwan), less, to the adjective

(moms belle, mwan bel, less beautiful), and the comparativeof equality, by putting aussi (6s"^,sl') before the adjective in

affirmative, and si (si) in negative phrases; the terms of com-

parison, when expressed, are connected with the comparativeby the conjunction que (aussi instruit que [os"v_sl' an"strwi' ka],as learned as; il n'est pas si age qu'elle [II ne pa si d"v^3e' kelj,he is not so old as she). The comparatives of bon, ben,

mauvais, m6"va', petit, pa-ti', are meilleur, ma"^,yur', pire, pir,

moindre, mwah'^dra.The superlative absolute is formed by putting tres, tra, fort,

fer, or bien, bl"^yan', very, before the adjective, and the super-lative relative, by prefixing the article le, la, les, according to

thegender

and numberrequired,

to thecomparative (unetres belle mile [tin tra bel vil], a very fine city; la plus belle des

villes [la plii bel de vil], the finest of cities). When a possessive

pronoun is to be used before the comparative, the article is left

out (mon meilleur ami [men ma"^,yur' a"rru'], my best friend).

When the adjective relates to two nouns singular, of the same

gender, it must be put in the plural and agree with them in

gender (ma mere et ma sceur sont contentes [ma mar e ma sur

sen ker/'tant'^a], my mother and sister are satisfied); but

when the two nouns to which the adjective relates are of

different genders, the adjective must be put in the masculineplural (mon pere et ma mere sont contents [men par e ma marsen ken"tan'], my father and mother are satisfied).

In French qualifying adjectives are placed indifferently be-

fore or after the nounsthey qualify. The ear and the taste

determine their positions. Certain adjectives, however, changein sense according to their positions; such are brave (brav),

grand (gran), bon (ben), commun (kem^man') , petit (pa-tl').

For example: "Un homme bon" is a good, charitable man, but

"un bon homme" is a simple, credulous man. Most adjec-

tives are placed after the noun a magnificent palace : Un

palais magnifique (an pa"la' ma"nyl"flk') ;a wise man: Un

homme sage (aii_em sd'^sa); an industrious woman: Une

femme industrieuse (un fam an"dus"tri"^,yuz/

). The following

come before them:

Beau, cher (denoting affection), gros, jeune, mauvais, me-

chant, petit a handsome horse: Un beau cheval (an bo sTia-val');

my dear boy: mon cher garcon (men sliar gar"sen') ;the fat man:

le gros bonhomme (la gro ben*em'); the young girl: la jeune

fille (la sun fi'^ya); in bad taste: de mauvais gout (da m6wva,'

gu) ;the naughty boy: le mechant gargon (la me

ff

shan' gar"sen') ;

the small hat: le petit chapeau (la pa-tl' sTaa"po')-



FRENCH GRAMMAR 165

NOUN. There are two sorts of nouns: the proper noun,which is applied to a particular person or thing (Cesar [se"zdr'],

Caesar; les Alpes [lez alp], Alps), and the common noun,which belongs to a whole class of objects (homme [em], man;foret [fo"re'], forest).

To nouns belong gender and number. There are two genders,

the masculine (un homme [an em], a man; un livre [an ll'^yra],a book; le courage [la ku'ras'^s], courage), and the feminine(une fcmme [tin fain], a woman; une foret [tin fo"ra], a forest;

la victoire[Iq vlk"twdr'], victory). The French dictionary is

the only guide to follow to ascertain the gender of inani-

mate objects. Nouns are of two numbers, the singular (arbrc

[dr'_,bra], tree; tour [tur], tower), and the plural (arbres [dr'^bra], trees; tours [tur], towers); some nouns are used only in

the singular (le courage [la ku"rd'x_3a], courage; Vor [ler], gold),

and others only in the plural (les mouchettes [le mu"shet'],snuffers; des epinards [dez^e"pi"ndr

/

], spinach).The plural is formed by adding s to the singular (homme

!em],

man, hommes [em], men; livre [li'^vra], book, livres

ll'^vra], books). But nouns ending in s, x, z in the singular,

remain the same in the plural (fils [fls], son, fils [fls], sons;

voix [vwa], voice, voix [vwa], voices; nez [ne], nose, nez [ne],

noses) ; nouns ending in au, eu, ou are rendered plural by add-

ing an x (bateau [ba"td'], boat, bateaux [ba"to'], boats; VCEU [vu],

vow, vceux [vu], vows; bijou [bl"^3u'], jewel, bijoux [bl^jfi'],

jewels); nouns ending in al, ail, change it into aux in the

plural (cheval [sha-vdl'], horse, chevaux [sha-vo'], horses; travail

[tra"vai'], work, travaux [tra"vo'], works), except bal (bal), ball;

detail (da-toi'), detail, and some others which follow the gen-eral rule.

PRONOUN. There are five kinds of pronouns.

sa ba'tl'], there is building; i7 s'est dit [il se di], it has been said).

Impersonal verbs arfe only used in the third person singular

(il neige [II na'^33], it snows), and neuter verbs frequentlyassume the same form (il tint un homme [II

there came a man).



1GS SOME ELEMENTS OF

FRENCH VERBS OF REGULAR CONJUGATIONThere are three regular conjugations of French verbs: (1) donner

(den*v_n5'),give;

(2) flnir (fl'nlr'), finish; (3) vendre(vfin'^dra),sell. From the principal parts of the verbs, (1) the infinitive, (2)

the present participle, (3) the past participle, (4) the present in-

dicative, (5) and the preterit indicative, all forms of regular verbs

may be Inferred. See Tables of Regular Verbs, below.

Most of the French verbs are of the first regular conjugation, in

which the Infinitive ends In -er.

FRENCH IRREGULAR AND DEFECTIVE VERBS.In

the followingtable

(1)the

Imperfect Indicative, (2)the

Conditional, (3) the Imperative, (4) the Present Subjunctive, and

(5) Imperfect Subjunctive are omitted. These tenses are formed:

( i ) the Imperfect Indicative, from the present participle by chang-

ing -ant into -ais; thus, all-ant j'all-ais, batt-ant, je batt-ais. (2)

The Conditional is formed by adding s to the Future Tense;

thus, je chanterai, je chanterais; je parlerai, je parlerais. (3) The

Imperative is formed from the Indicative Present by omittingthe pronoun (except in aller, where it is ta). Thus, je parle

(indie, pres.); parle (imperative), and so on. There are three

exceptions, and these are the verbs avoir (have), etre (be), andsavoir (know). (4) The Present Subjunct ive is formed very irregu-

larly, but may be easily ascertained from a French grammar.(5) The Imperfect Subjunctive is formed from the preterit indic-

ative by the addition of -se, etc., to the second person singular;

as, tu parlas, que je parlas-se.*

Compound forms for all parts of a French verb, exceptingthe imperative and the past participle, are formed, as in Eng-lish, by adding the past participle to the various forms of the

auxiliary verb, which is usually avoir (have), but sometimesf.tre (be). For example: (1) Past participle, alle; perfect in-

finitive,etre^

alle. (2) Past participle, envoye; perfect infinitive,

avoir envoye, etc.

pendant (pan"dan'), while, etc.; (G) of place; as, dans (dan),

PREPOSITION. A particle that denotes the relation of

an object to an action or thing. In French some have been

formed from nouns, as malgre (mofgrtO, notwithstanding;

from adjectives, as sauf (sof), except; from imperatives, as

voici = vois id (vwa"sl'), here is; from present participles, us

durant (du"rdh'), during; pendant (pan"ddn'), while; touclian'

(tu"-hun'), concerning, etc.; or from past participles, as vu

(vu), considering; attendu que (at"tah"du' ke), seeing that;

excepte (ek"sep"te'), except, save;hormis

(er"mi'), saving,etc.

The relations expressed are (1) of position; as, d(a), at;

contre (kori'tra), against; jusque (jiis'ka), as far as, until; (2)

of starting point; as, de (da), of, from; par (par), by; (3) of di-

rection; as, vers (var), toward; (4) of manner; as, avec (a"vek'),

with; par (par), through; sons (sah), without; (5) of time; as,

of place; as, dans (dan),

cf/ez (lie), at the house of, at, to, in, the native place of; devant

(da-vein') , before; derriere (dar"v-,rryar'), behind; sur (siir), on;sous (su), under; entre (dn'^tra), between; parmi (par"mi'),

among.Almost every French grammar points out the fact that the

correct use of prepositions can be taught by practise alone.

The chief difficulty arises from the fact that there are about

400 words adjectives, verbs, and participles that must be

connected with the infinitive that follows sometimes by aid

of a preposition, often without this aid; as, "II ambitionne de

conquerir" (II an"bi"sl"yeh'^na da koh"ke"nr') : "He is ear-

nestly desirous of conquering," or "He desires earnestly to

conquer;" "II veut conquerir" (II vu ken"ke"r!r') : "He wishes

to conquer."Sometimes prepositions must be introduced in French when

there are none in the English sentence one wishes to utter;

as, "Je doute de cela" (33 dut da sa-ld'): "I doubt that"; "II

a nui a mon frdre" (II a nwl a men frar): "He has injured mybrother."

I.ik'-wise, sometimes, butinfrequently, the preposition in an

English sentence is suppressed in French: We listen to thechaplain: Nous 6coutona le chapelain (nuz^e"ku"ten' la shc/'-

pa-lan').

CONJUNCTION. A part of speech which serves to con-nect words or sentences. In French they are classified as: (1)

Copulative conjunctions, conjunctions expressing addition or ex-

pansion; as, et (e), and; awsst (os'sl'), also. (2) Alternative

conjunctions, or those that introduce an alternative; as, ou (u),

or; ni (ni), nor. (3) Coordinate conjunctions, or those that

join coordinate clauses in compound sentences; as, mais (ma).

but; neanmoins (ne"ah"mwah') , notwithstanding. (4) Subor-dinate conjunctions, or those that join subordinate to principal

clauses; as, quoique (kwd'ka), altho.

The principal conjunctions are: ainsi (an"sl'), thus; aussi

(os"sl'), also; car (kar), for; cependant (sa-pan"ddn') , yet;cotnme (kem), as; done (denk), therefore; et (g), and; lorsque(lers'ka), when; mais (ma), but; neanmoins (ne"dh"mwan'),notwithstanding; ni (ni), nor; ou (u), or; or (er), but, now;

pourquoi (pur"kwd')(

why; puisque (pwls'ka), since; quand(kah), altho; que (ka), that; quoique (kwd'ka), whatever, altho;si (si), if; sinon (sl"nen'), if not, otherwise; soit (swa), either,

whether, or; toutefois (tut"fwd'), nevertheless.

INTERJECTION. A part of speech which is used to ex-

press sudden emotion, excitement, or feeling. The followingare the chief interjections in French: Ah! Aie (d"yi'); Bah!

Bravo! Eh! Fi! (fi: English, Fie!) Gare (gar) ; that is, Make way!beware! Ha! He! (he); Helas (e"las': English, Alas!): Ho! 01Oh! Sus (siis: English, At them!); Zest (zest: English, Pshaw!).
