In French, the word for duck is “canard”.
Ducks are common birds found in many parts of the world, and they are known for their distinctive quacking sound. The French word “canard” is used to refer to both the bird and, in some contexts, to describe something that is a hoax or a false story, similar to the English phrase “a lame duck.”
Here are a few examples of how you might use the word “canard” in a sentence:
- J’ai vu un canard dans l’étang. (I saw a duck in the pond.)
- Ce canard est délicieux. (This duck is delicious.)
- Ne crois pas ce canard. (Don’t believe that hoax.)
Learning animal names in different languages can be fun and useful, especially if you enjoy traveling or learning about different cultures.
