Breakdown of Mon hôtel coûte cinquante euros.
Questions & Answers about Mon hôtel coûte cinquante euros.
How do I remember the word for fifty (cinquante)?
Cinquante (50) is based on the word for five, cinq (5). In French, many of the "tens" numbers end in -ante, just like quarante (40) and soixante (60). Does cinquante change its spelling because euros is plural?
No, most French numbers like cinquante do not add an "s" when describing plural objects. Only the noun itself changes, which is why euros has an "s" at the end. How do you pronounce cinquante euros together?
The "e" at the end of cinquante is mostly silent, so you connect the "t" sound directly into the vowel sound of euros. It flows smoothly together without a pause. Why do we use mon for "my" in this sentence?
Hôtel is a masculine noun, so it takes the masculine mon instead of the feminine ma. Because hôtel starts with a silent "h", you would actually use mon even if it were feminine, just to make the words link smoothly without two vowels clashing! What is the base form of the verb coûte?
The dictionary form is coûter (to cost). It is a regular -er verb. Since mon hôtel is a singular thing (like "it"), we drop the -er and add an -e to get coûte. Learn Mon hôtel coûte cinquante euros and more in French
