Today, we will look together at antonyms, opposite vocabulary words.

Often, when you don't know certain words in the language, you'll take the easy way out. I know I'm doing this in English if I don't know the right word.

If, for example, I don't know how to say the word to say that something is not beautiful. I'll just make a negative sentence so I don't have to use the vocabulary word. I will say it is not beautiful instead of saying it is ugly.

Hello everyone, I hope you are in good shape.

In this video, I propose to enrich your vocabulary. I had already made a video with antonyms. I'm going to give it to you just above so that you can watch it, if you haven't already, and learn other vocabulary words, enrich your French vocabulary.

It's those little vocabulary words that will add finesse to your French. Before you start, remember to put a "like" to the video, you know it's really important for me and for the HelloFrench channel.

Let's start right away with the first word.

Not quiet, not wise. When we say that a child is not quiet or not wise, we mean that he is agitated. My son is not wise and he runs around. My son is restless and runs around.

Not clean, it's dirty. The toilets in this restaurant are not clean. The toilets in this restaurant are dirty.

Not mature, immature. When you say someone is immature or immature, it means that they are acting like a child when they are an adult. Lila threw her glass of apple juice at Anissa because she was mad at her. This is really immature behavior. She's not mature, she's immature.

Not faithful, unfaithful. Someone who is not faithful, who is unfaithful. It's a person that you can't really trust. You can't trust that person. Or in a love relationship, if you say that someone is not faithful or is unfaithful, it means that they are cheating on the person, that they are seeing another woman or another man.
