Ouah ! Ils ont adapté Tintin !
Qui ??
C’est une blague
Espèce d’arumbaya!
Bonne lecture à lui ! Selon son âge et dans des veines un peu fantasy il y a la saga Artémis Fowl et, bien sûr, la quête d’Ewilan qui sont sympas et accessibles dès 12-13 ans je pense (Artémis Fowl peut-être même avant).
Il a quarante ans. Ces cadeaux étaient pour ses étudiants.
Oh, il est professeur ? C’est un beau métier.
Voyages au centre de la terre est très bon.
So cadet means “younger brother?”
It’s a pretty common word in english, and obviously of french origin. I don’t know why I never thought to look at it more closely. oO
I would say it means “The youngest of a brotherhood” (in french at least), they may not be your brother.
Actually I think most of the time, such sentence structure “mon cadet” means “my last son”
Aren’t you mixing it up with benjamin?
Hum… Probable… Mais du coup Cadet c’est lequel ? xD
Ainé = 1er
Cadet = … 2e ?
Benjamin = Dernier[EDIT] Je viens de voir ton message, c’est bien ça du coup ! Merci de la correction ;)
Mon frère cadet, alors !!
Yes, the basic meaning is a younger brother, or sometimes the second born among siblings (the first would be « l’aîné »). For a woman, you would say cadette. Jakylla says it means the youngest, but I would call that the « benjamin ». (Benjamin is Jacob’s youngest son in the Bible.)
There’s also a military meaning in French : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/École_des_cadets
We also have the expression “le cadet de mes soucis”, which means “the least of my worries”. It’s actually more consistent with the definition given by jakylla…
We also have the expression “le cadet de mes soucis”
The least of my mice? D:
(because I certainly don’t want mice running around my place)(j/k, kidding)
Yeah, and I also forgot from my comment above that there is indeed the “cadet-branch” in terms of lineage records, something which tended to be important for the ‘nobility.’
By the way, souci is also the name of a flower! (I think it’s called marygold in English?)
En Inde aussi !
