Many adjectives in Spanish have gender, so for example:
I'm tired (male) -> estoy cansado
I'm tired (female) -> estoy cansada
In French it works the same way, although I'm not confident enough in French to give you an example without making horrible spelling mistakes. But the idea is the same.
- Rels 5y agoFor French: I'm tired (male) -> Je suis fatigué I'm tired (female) -> Je suis fatiguée
- forinti 5y agoThe French passé composé is funny if translated word for word into Portuguese: Je suis tombé -> Eu sou caído (or Eu sou tombado) Je suis tombée -> Eu sou caída (or Eu sou tombada)
- WastingMyTime89 5y agoJe suis tombé is passé composé. Je suis fatigué is présent de l'indicatif. Fatigué can both be an adjectif and a participe passé. The verb fatiguer uses the avoir auxiliary verb when using passé composé however: ils m'ont fatigué / la poutre a fatigué sous le poids.
- simiones 5y agoThe passé composé of "je suis fatigué(e)" [I am tired] would actually be "j'ai été fatigué(e)" [I was tired]. Translated word for word to Portuguese, this would be "Eu tive sido/estado cansado(cansada)".
