"Oui, Julien est mon troisième gendre."

Translation: Yes, Julien is my third son-in-law.

This one was confusing, I could not figure out what "Julien" meant, until I realized that it was someone's name! The appearance of real names on Duolingo has thrown me off balance, I am used to bears, fish, elephants and Germans!

[Trofaste]

Be prepared to meet a few other names too! :)

[jolynnedougherty]

Don't forget the canards and cochons :)

[AndreaVout]

If belle-fille is daughter-in-law/step daughter, why not beau-fils for son-in-law? Is gendre also used for step son?

[krista189497]

Julien is spelt with capital letter names are spelt with capital letters in English and French I think....

[Trofaste]

It is indeed, are you seeing it written with a lowercase j somewhere?

[krista189497]

nooo.... only because Daniel was confused with the word "Julien"

[Trofaste]

Oh, I see! Yes, names are capitalised in French as well as in English.

I have just learnt that gendre =kid how do I differentiate kid/ son in law

[krista189497]

kid in French = gamin (e) I learnt

[CJ.Dennis]

"kid" is "gamin(e)". "gendre" and "beau-fils" are "son-in-law".

[AS_]

Third in the sense of being the third husband of ones daughter, or third in the sense of being the husband of ones third daughter?

[deactivated user]

I interpreted it as simply one's third son-in-law - if one has three daughters and each marries...
