📘 The nuances that matter
- Copain/copine is ambiguous: with mon it usually means boy/girlfriend (« c’est ma copine »); with un it’s just a friend (« un copain »).
- Se marier AVEC (not « à »): elle se marie avec Paul. And épouser quelqu’un (no preposition).
- Manquer works backwards: tu me manques = I miss you (literally “you are missing to me”).
- S’entendre (bien/mal) avec = to get on (well/badly) with — one of the most useful relationship verbs.
- Le coup de foudre (lit. a lightning strike) = love at first sight — very French, very used.
