j'ai vécu is fine tho
i believe habiter is the preferred word over vivre here
habiter is to live ina location
vivre is to be alive
unreal timber
j'ai vécu ici depuis does not exist
if you still live here : je vis ici depuis
if you left : j'ai vécu ici pendant
english present perfect is not always equivalent to french passé composé
cunning agate
present perfect + since = présent + depuis
polar ruin
english present perfect is not always equivalent to french passé composé
ok that makes sense
polar ruin
present perfect + since = présent + depuis
alright thank you
polar ruin
i believe habiter is the preferred word over vivre here
"Mon quartier est généralement un endroit agréable à vivre" so would vivre br the wrong word here?
should i put habiter?

@cunning agate
is vivre okay when describing your quarters/living conditions?
actually i believe yes

The verb itself isn't really the issue here, you're missing a preposition to connect it
tall badge
didn't he say à
cunning agate
That's not for the verb
polar ruin
so what should i put?
tall badge
even deepL agrees with his statement here
cunning agate
Cuz in yours you're basically saying "I live my area"
tall badge
for simple translation purposes
cunning agate
even deepL agrees with his statement here
Make it an actual sentence?
tall badge
Make it an actual sentence?
okay i'll try
J'aime vivre en Belgique, car c'est un endroit magnifique avec de belles banlieues et, par conséquent, ma maison est naturellement un endroit splendide où vivre.
cunning agate
Huh
I just meant a capital and a period
I think it was assuming it was part of a bigger sentence
Où vivre is good
tall badge
bro there were no specifics given
cunning agate
À vivre makes nonsense for "to live in" right
polar ruin
"Mon quartier est généralement un endroit agréable à vivre" so would it be ou vivre?
sudden marten
in "agréable/difficile à vivre" and so on, yes
cunning agate
To live in..?
sudden marten
?
cunning agate
sudden marten
DeepL's sentence is good

am I missing context?

It was just this one
sudden marten
yeah that's fine
cunning agate
Huh
tall badge
idk, im just happy because its how i would say "to live in this area or whatever"
cunning agate
I've only seen à vivre for like... Going through something
tall badge
à vivre, so i checked DeepL to double check
polar ruin
actually whats better google translate or deepl.
cunning agate
Depends
tall badge
deepL
cunning agate
Usually deepL
polar ruin
alright thanks
cunning agate
Sometimes it gives you weird shit tho
polar ruin
for the help
sudden marten
DeepL is pretty good for context, just don't use either one for single words (that's what a dictionary is for)
cunning agate
Translators are never reliable

unless its just for like maybe noun vocab or ig adjectives. Idk i just paste in a list of English fruits
and
it gives me it
cunning agate
:V
sudden marten
yeah don't do that lol
tall badge
whyyy
sudden marten
super unreliable
cunning agate
Yeah
tall badge
ik blue berry as baie bleu and myrtille
ironically
deepL says the same
it says both
cunning agate
Blueberry my guy
tall badge
super unreliable
I'm confused, if i typed apple, wouldn't it give me apple? idk its how i got a good bit of my vocab
apple>une pomme
cunning agate
Baie bleu is blue berry, a berry that is blue
Blueberry is bleuet but if you're talking to frenchies their equivalent is myrtilles which are bilberries
tall badge
Baie bleu is blue berry, a berry that is blue
Blueberry is bleuet but if you're ...
tbvh, a website gave me baie bleu as a listed optional name
sudden marten
for basic vocab it should be fine, but there are weird cases like what alb's mentioning, and generally speaking you're going to be way better off building a habit of using a dictionary (there are really good crosslinguistic ones like WordReference)
polar ruin
single words mean a lot of things in french, so i usually use translators for context and dictionary's for words and how to use certain words
cunning agate
Crickets and grasshoppers are another funky one

yeah ig so, tbh the majority of the time why i find dictionary jarring is if i want a word list and it isn't online so i usually just translate the words because looking up 100 words ina dictionary is honestly kind of...yeah u get what i mean though i totally get everything you're saying. I do use dictionaries for one word answers
sudden marten
say you type in "marron", that means "brown" but it's also a kind of chestnut, and DeepL has no idea which one you want if it doesn't have context
tall badge
especially if i need to know the meaning
sudden marten
it's gonna teach you wrong things on the long run
cunning agate
tbvh, a website gave me baie bleu as a listed optional name
What website
cunning agate
What
sudden marten
