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.

[obtuse hare]

yes

there are also words that are different in French but not in English
like owl, scarf

[tight anchor]

yup, homonyms are common
just like a bat would be your first choice for a baseball bat or a cave bat in English

[arctic stream]

hello @obtuse hare , i didn't understand this one. 😅

[arctic stream]

Thanks @tight anchor !

[obtuse hare]

Well

Desk, office = bureau
Bookshelf, library = bibliothèque
Owl = chouette, hibou
Scarf = écharpe, foulard

There are examples of this both ways

[tight anchor]

I would say the examples you gave in English aren't really homonyms. It's just that they're considered close enough concepts to not be differentiated

for instance there is no scientific difference between "chouette" and "hibou", they're not categories of species
It just comes down to how owls look, are they tufted or not

[wraith swift]

Discord enables you to create a thread under a post on the main channel (as long as the option is activated). You can see it on Flynn's screenshot. In the case of salle-de-classe channels, it's to keep the room tidy, not to drown questions out with answers.

Here, the threads are created by the bot.

[alpine portal]

[tight anchor]

the channel we're currently in is the thread created for invicta's question in #salle-de-classe
if you go to #salle-de-classe, you'll see a thread with ~30 messages below their question. If you click on it, you'll find yourself back here
