Questions & Answers about Le chef envoie une facture pour ce compte.
Why is it spelled envoie with an "i" instead of a "y"?
Doesn't chef mean a cook?
It can, but its main meaning is actually "boss", "manager", or "head" of any team or department. A restaurant cook is called a chef because they are the "boss" of the kitchen!
Why do we use ce for "this" here instead of cet or cette?
Could compte also mean a bill at a restaurant?
Not usually. Compte means an account, like a bank account or client account. If you want the bill at a restaurant, you ask for l'addition. An invoice for business goods or services, like the one the boss is sending in this sentence, is une facture.
