how can I say in english, "à défaut d'autre chose" ? :roll:

In which way? (and "phrase" which is the word in english?)

I must confess that I don't know

Anybody has an idea ?

If i knew that answer (I tell that word as "phrase") he want make, may could we find , but i don't know if a literal translation exist

I don't think so...

I want to teach you new words, do you want ?

In fact, I was reading an english book when I saw that world. I search it on a my translation software and I saw :

Sedge n.

Carex n.m.

I was very surprised because I didn't know the meaning of the french word "carex". I have found it on my dictionnary and saw that carex is meaning jong.

Great, Guijnorth

No problem bluestorm !

A ant is an insect

A hill is a little mountain

So Ant + Hill = Little mountain of ants.

Great, Guijnorth

lol guijnorth....

And thanks for the vocabular

No problem.

Now, I want to teach you the world of insects.

lol guijnorth....

INSECTS

Frequently, insects who can fly have the world fly into their names.

Exemple :

A Butterfly

A firefly

Fire because of the light of the tie of females.
