Show transcript
Many French word-final consonants are silent; words ending in -c, -r, -f and -l may be exceptions, e.g. 'mal', 'peur'. 'Être' means to be. 'Avoir' means to have. 'Avoir' can sometimes be translated as 'to be, being', with certain expressions, e.g. 'j'ai chaud', I am hot. 'Avoir mal' means 'to be in pain' or 'to be sick'. With a part of the body 'avoir mal' means that something hurts, e.g. 'j'ai mal à la tête', my head hurts.
