Where is lavenue des champs elysees

Duo, show some consistency here and provide that which you teach, so one can provide the correct way to spell words with accents. I only recently discovered how to do accented letters on my MacBook - by holding down the letter key, a little box appears with all the accents for that letter. All these years, I was clueless, and now I feel like I've discovered gold!

Cindy, after all these years. Thank you. I have a french keyboard in my menu bar so I can switch, but this is by far the easiest. Press alt and e together, then e again without alt This is on a qwerty keyboard. If you want your brain to explode got to the French "aserty" keyboard.

I've been here before. Outside France it's fame outstrips the need to declare its an avenue and sounds weird. When describing Les Pays-Bas, in French and translating it to English we are not required to change the common name to the Low country, we would normally say The Netherlands or more commonly Holland.

Make it up as we go along? If you're going to use "Avenue" then you don't need "The"! Also, can a street be big? It can be wide or long or broad or possibly grand - but definitely not big. This is surely a case where grande translates to 'grand' in English. I feel almost embarrassed writing 'big' - surely its grandeur is seen as more than 'big. This is not how an English speaker would say this.

This is computer speak. Nobody says Champs elysees avenue. This suggest computer speak. Nobody says "Champs elysees avenue" and "very big" is what a child with limited vocabulary might say, instead of enormous or vast or huge. Where do you live? We tend to speak as our friends and family speak. Also, we are influenced by social media. Social media helps us to be connected. Hopefully, our language will be more stable. We won't have mountains dividing cultures and morphing Latin into French, Italian and Spanish.

On a windows computer, open the program Character Map. On an android phone, simply hold down a letter key for a second and the variant forms will appear. On an android phone beside the enter bar at the base of the keyboard is a small globe. Touch this and a choice of language based keyboards is offered providing you have enabled your languages if choice in the phones settings. They always give funny names to French streets.

Very big indeed. I must spell out avenue , even though ave in english is acceptable? Hi, there are no accented letters able to be put in the answers here, but it always reminds me to pay attention to them, perhaps they can be provided for English answers with some French spelling in them. The English alphabet contains no accents or accented letters unless one counts the dots over the "i" and "j".

To put accents in a English sentence is as wrong as leaving them out of the French sentence. This is simply not true. Native English speakers frequently use the accents in foreign words which have been adopted into English. The accepted translation is really ugly in the context of UK English and a more appropriate alternative needs be added. I would love to know what information the writer of this sentence was trying to impart.

Is The Champs-Elysees Avenue big ambiguous word as in, 'many miles long, very wide, very famous I've always put avenue, street, road, boulevard However, after reading all the comments, I realize that "the Champs-Elysees", sorry no accents is a unique example of not needing the word 'avenue' because of this avenue's international fame.

When dealing with well-known languages like French, German, and Spanish, however, it's common even for non-famous thoroughfares to leave the whole name untranslated; Poe wrote a short story in English called 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', not 'The Murders in Morgue Street'.

Hi Sally, if you have a PC there is an alternative keyboard in the set up menu so you can have the Qwerty keyboard or the aserty keyboard for the French.

You will get all the correct accents, but it will do your brain in when you switch Apple American keyboard and the UK version can do the same in set up, but basic accents are available using the alt key. For the last three you type the accent, but the cursor doesn't move on. If you can't do that go to google translate. Make words that have the accents you require then copy and paste them into your script. You can also copy and paste from Duo.

They sometimes provide a list of accented characters. Hope this helps. I tried on a Chrome book there doesn't seem to be any accents available there. The cut and paste is the quickest I have found on any keyboard.

Even though I have accents on my keyboard. What else would you call it? The name is 5th? However, how could you hear "Champs Elysees" and not know exactly what someone is referring to? I've seen several American movies mention "the Champs Elysees" without including "Avenue". Get started. October 17, April 28, March 19, XgwJ4UVx It accepts large.

In English we would not add "avenue. April 18, July 29, Cindy Haha - I love the bit about seeing two ducks March 28, MaryGallag February 5, Cath February 22, Mary And, for a unique cinema-going experience, head to the unusual MK2, tucked away inside the Grand Palais.

Dining options also abound. Full-on French glamour is to be found at number , where the dancers at the Lido put on a magnificent performance every evening in the course of an enchanting cabaret show. Clubbers take note: the avenue is the headquarters of the most exclusive nightclubs in town.

Wealthy young Parisians head to the Planches and the Duplex , while the in-crowd hangs out at the Raspoutine and the Baron. On Bastille Day , the avenue is the place to go: it is decked out in the French national colours to host the world-famous 14th July parade.

When it comes to sporting events, the avenue is the starting point for the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris in April , and the place where cyclists riding the Tour de France cross the finish line after the final stage in July. An entire week devoted to cinema, during which the rooftop of the Publicis building is opened specially for the occasion. On 31 December, people ring in the new year on the avenue with a countdown displayed on the Arc de Triomphe. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, go for a cycle ride, have a picnic — the choice is up to you!

The charming and very popular Marais is not only one of the most pleasant neighbourhoods in Paris to live in or to visit, but also one of the most inclusive. The La Villette complex is an unusual spot to explore in Paris, where green spaces and culture intersect.
