Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Don't use translation tools to try to understand grammar rules, it's a waste of time

for an explanation of the difference between description and descriptif, you can look here: https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/24643/le-vocabulaire/nuances-semantiques/difference-entre-description-et-descriptif

(they can both translation to description in English)

as for the articles, English and French don't use articles the same way, so sometimes in French you'll have a definite article where in English you wouldn't, it's just how the two languages work
In general, French requires a definite article a lot more often than English does
