The name HAUT appears to be a play on the Dutch word for wood (HOUT) and the french word for tall (HAUTE).

- mikeash 9y agoNote that “haute” is the feminine form, and the masculine version of tall is just “haut.”
- tromp 9y agoThanks for pointing that out. Now I learned that "cuisine" is feminine.
- Epholys 9y agoNo, adjective like "haut" change according to the noun it describes and most of the time by appending a "e". A "tour" (the feminine word for tower) will be "haute". An "arbre" (the masculine word for tree) will be "haut". "Cuisine" is a general noun so it does not change, even if it ends with a "e". There are not a masculine or feminine cuisine, it's just a cuisine :).
- gomox 9y ago"Cuisine" is a feminine noun (e.g. "la belle cuisine").
- ibz 9y ago> "Cuisine" is a general noun so it does not change, even if it ends with a "e". There are not a masculine or feminine cuisine, it's just a cuisine :). "cuisine" is definitely a feminine noun. There is no such thing as a "general" noun. Also, it is the adjective that changes to match the noun, not the other way around.

- toomuchtodo 9y agoHow do regular people afford to buy?
- jacquesm 9y agoNot. Even not so regular people can't afford to buy. So there is a fairly large contingent of people that rent at exorbitant prices with both parents working and the remainder moved out to more affordable places.
