comment Difference between “couvrir” and “recouvrir”
Can you explain what you mean when you say couvrir (and recouvrir, of course, because recouvrir derives couvrir) are based on ouvrir. If you mean they come from (etymology) ouvrir that's really far fetched. See ouvrir and couvrir. Google translate is not a reliable tool and an online dictionary would easily answer your question as to the meaning of those two verbs.

comment Why does “droit” have the same two meanings in both English and French?
@NikanaReklawyks:Meanings don't seem to be disparate at all. Both meanings existed in the Indo-European root which meant to straighten, direct. Position : right handed people being by far the most numerous in the human species they will use their right arm to direct to something. Law: to straighten is to make right something that isn't right.

There are on line tools to answer this type of questions. Reverso, Wiktionary, Linguee. French Language and usage isn't a dictionary.

comment Are “Case Postale” and “Boîte Postale” interchangeable?
@Zoot: as Kareen says casier postal is an improper (wrong) use of Case Postale, so there is no further information to be given about it!
