French Vocabulary – The Senses Posted by Transparent Language on Nov 30, 2009 in Vocabulary

I’m a big fan of trying to learn groups of words (nouns with the corresponding adjective, adverb, etc.) all at once to improve foreign language vocabulary rather than learning a single word here and there. The association involved really works for me when trying to recall vocabulary. So, I’m going to provide you with the body parts in French that have to do with the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste – la vue, l’ouïe, l’odorat, le toucher, le goût) as well as the verb, noun and property for the sense.

*les organes*	*l’action*		*la propriété*
la langue le palais	goûter sentir	le goût	gustatif
le nez les narines	sentir	l’odorat	olfactif
la peau	sentir toucher	le toucher	tactile
l’œil les yeux	voir	la vue la vision	visuel
l’oreille	entendre	l’ouïe l’audition	auditif acoustique

Hi,

I’m trying to remember the name of a certain ‘French’ (French was the language spoken but I’m not 100% sure it was set in France) film. A man was running from armed men.He claimed to have a terrible secret that is never revealed.He collects a group around himself as the film progresses.He spends some time in an apartment. At the end,the man and the group are surrounded by a very large group of Army types and,I think,killed.The owner of the apartment is shown tied to a bed,saying: ‘What have I done? I don’t know anything. The film is in black and white.It ‘felt’ like it was from the 60s.
