I was wondering, in out multi-lingual little community, if there was anyone present would would spare a few moments to help me out with a few French words. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I know what you're thinking: "use a translator", but quite frankly I trust those tings as far as I can throw them (bad experiences with essays. ;) ).

All i'm wanting is the French words for: "love", "jealousy", "happiness" and "tragedy", for reasons I won't explain just yet. ;)

Also, if anyone could confirm the "Candide" translates to "Optimism", or indeed what it does translate to, i'd also be much obliged.

My thanks in advance. [img]smile.gif[/img]

AFAIK

l'amour
la jalousie
la joie (that's more like joy though, not happiness... maybe être de bonheur? or is that more like being lucky?)
la tragédie
