Pourquoi « comment vous appelez-vous », et pas « quel est votre nom » comme en anglais ? Well, Italian, Spanish and French are related and share the same structure. Swedish, German and English are related and share the same structure (except that English uses What instead of Why, but a few German people tend to use What, too). I've got the feeling that there's indeed a historical reasoning. |

French language videos for an absolute beginner (free)? I think @oli mentions a good hint. I, personally, consider movies more helpful than video lectures since situations, conversations and such are more natural than in lectures or tutorials. |

How to render the German word 'pflegen' in French? Synchronisation is also a German word and since the German connotation is different to what is being asked, I guess it's same in French. |

Les deux noms pour chaque point cardinal Also have a look at ELU: How do you form the 'north' and 'south' versions of 'occident' and 'orient'?, especially that link from the most upvoted answer. |
