Learn French: Nous avons une cuisine claire.

Avons is the specific form of the verb avoir (to have) that matches nous (we). When speaking, the normally silent 's' at the end of nous links to the vowel 'a' in avons to make a 'z' sound. This makes it sound like 'nooz-ah-von'.

Why do we use une instead of un before cuisine?

In French, every noun has a gender. The word for kitchen, cuisine, is feminine, so you must use the feminine word for 'a', which is une.

Why does the word for bright (claire) come after cuisine instead of before it?

In English, descriptive words (adjectives) almost always go before the noun, like 'bright kitchen'. In French, most descriptive words go immediately after the noun they describe, giving us une cuisine claire.

Why does claire end with an 'e' in this sentence?

Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because cuisine is feminine, we take the base masculine word clair and add an 'e' to the end to make it the feminine claire.
