"It's simple here in Paris, the French may be used for reducing growth."(10) This one is very hard, I will be amazed if it is solved quickly, (or indeed at all).

I'm sorry, but as the closing date was never specified in the original competition rules, I believe you are at least morally obliged to honour the competition. And on YouTube, please, we don't want any allegations of cheating, do we? :laugh:

Once I'd remembered that "simple" was an old word for "herb", the rest was fairly easy.
-
the French is le, la or les. Des is of the! Yeah, I know, your decision is final, blah blah blah. :mad:

Congratulation it was very hard. I still do not see the relationship between Herb and Simple. It is time for the 5 minutes french theory 'Des' and 'Du' can mean 'of the' you're right. But also it can mean something that doesn't exist in English, I mean the plural of 'a' or 'an' (the *) below:
ENGLISH FRENCH
the broccoli = le brocoli (defined singular masculine)
the apple = la pomme (defined singular feminine)
the apples = les pommes (defined plural masculine)
the broccolis = les brocolis (defined plural feminine)an apple = une pomme (undefined singular masculine)
a broccoli = un brocoli (undefined singular feminine)
* apples = des pommes (undefined plural masculine)
* broccolis = des brocolis (undefined plural feminine) -

In English would be "some", that is, an undefined number greater than 1.

I don't think it is quite the same: today we will eat some broccoli to me suggests a limited amount, nous allons manger des broccolis aujourd'hui is neutral as to the amount. I think you'd have to drop the "some" to get the same meaning in English, so "des" isn't replaced by anything. :)

Ah, the subtleties of language. Of course there are differences in the two phrases and maybe the difference in French is not the same as the difference in English. If we drop the word some then the sentence becomes even more vague, as to the amount. And of course, the word some itself has different shades of meaning in different sentences.

Merci. I suppose I am (I was able to translate your entire sentence without a dictionary). It's spoken French that is giving me trouble. I can't yet understand what people are saying (too many unknown words and I can't process French that fast yet). I suppose practice makes less crap. :)
