"C'est actuellement le centre culturel de la ville."

[jbergen]

Can 'actuellement' also mean 'actually'? I believe I was taught this in French in school (although I may be remembering it wrong)

[Sitesurf]

No, this is a "faux-ami".

"actuellement" translates to currently, at this moment, nowadays...

"actually" translates to en fait (in fact), en réalité (in reality)...

[Bren9]

Is not "centre of culture" not the same as "cultural centre"?

[Sitesurf]

It is just a matter of usage: we don't say "centre de cuture", which would weirdly connote "agriculture". If you are talking about arts, you will use "centre culturel".

[AnjoMan]

Augh. I always get caught by 'actuallement'.

[8arbara_Delmas]

why not 'momentarily'

[Sitesurf]

momentarily (momentanément) means temporily (temporairement), ie for a limited period of time.

"This is today the cultural center of the town" is what i was corrected to. What?

[Dub17]

Nothing wrong with that. Which part is confusing to you?

[purdyjo]

The grammar of the sentence, unless the cultural center of the town is called "today", it doesn't really make sense
