"Où est la clé du placard ?"

Translation: Where is the key to the closet?

[Jered78]

I suggest that "Where is the closet key?" should be accepted.

[n6zs]

Done.

What is the difference between placard and armoire?

[n6zs]

"Un placard" may be either a cupboard or a closet. These terms are applied quite differently in different regions of the English-speaking world. "Un armoire" may be a piece of furniture in which one hangs clothes, variously called a closet, a wardrobe, or simply an armoire. Take a look here:

My cupboard was rejected - should be accepted

[mabelamy]

Bonjour n6zs, on dit une armoire.

[SusanAhern781019]

I translated placard as "cabinet." I don't know anyone who uses the word "cupboard" anymore, at least in my part of the world.

[BillGordon1]

Commonly used in UK English!

[dwalindroden]

And American English (at least in my region)

[BrianC512805]

My use of cupboard was REJECTED, although is common in English use

[MaryAnne993219]

Same here.

[disc33]

Where is the cabinet key should be accepted.
