Am I the only one who hears an "a" before "d'ouvrage"?

    It does kind of sound like "Ce gen a d'ouvrage.."

      I heard that too. Something like "genre à d'ouvrage".

        It does not seem to accept "genre" as a translation of "genre". Should that actually be a translation?

            What is a religious hearth? Is it some kind of fireplace used in ceremonies?

              A religious hearth is a fireplace which religious people may use to offer sacrifices and prayers before every meal.

                Is it a question on French language?

                  Why is 'this' not accepted here

                    It should be accepted. Did you report it?

                      should plural ouvrages be accepted? It sounds the same.

                      Re: Sitesurf and BLPK - but what about the singular verb here ?

                        "genre", singular, is the subject

                        "ouvrages", plural, is noun of noun (complément du nom).

                          Can ouvrage mean work of art?
