Below is an advertisement for a restaurant. Oops! The writer made a mistake and used a false cognate incorrectly. Read the advertisement and identify at least one true cognate, 3 borrowed words and one false cognate. Submit the list of borrowed words and cognates in French. Au Restaurant Advertisement Le restaurant de L'Etoile est près de l'aéroport. Sur le menu, on trouve de bons hors-d'œuvres, de la quiche, et des sandwiches. En dessert, il y a une crêpe à la mode, des éclairs et des gâteaux.

I would say that the true cognates are: restaurant, aéroport, menu, quiche, and sandwiches.

The false cognate would be "mode". In French, " à la mode" means "in fashion, "in style", meaning that the crêpe is prepared in a specific culinary style determined by the Chef (which could, for instance, reflect specific culinary tradition).

Hi !

one true cognate = dessert and probably restaurant

three borrowed word = restaurant, quiche, menu, éclair, hors d'oeuvres are French word borrowed in English

Sandwiches is borrowed an English word borrowed by French .

one false cognate = à la mode (cooked a certain way, bot not fashionable !!)
OR "advertisement" instead or "divertissement" or "avertissement"

hope this will help :)
