"He is strong."

Translation: Il est fort.

What is wrong with using "c'est fort" ?

[Sitesurf]

"il est" is replaced by "c'est" only when followed by article + noun

• he is strong = il est fort
• he is a strong man = c'est un homme fort

I looked at the clues when u click on the word and it said cest fort?!??!?!! So annoying

What's the problem with my answer: "il est forte". The Duolingo's app gave me three options: fort/forte/rebuste.

[Sitesurf]

"il" is masculine and "forte" is the feminine form of the adjective.

"il est fort" or "elle est forte"

Is "puissant" just a French-Canadian thing, or does it have a similar, but not quite synonymous meaning in Parisian?

[Sitesurf]

Sometimes "l'homme fort" can be figuratively used to refer to a powerful man at the head of a state.
Secondarily, "un homme fort" is also used as a polite description of a fat man (same for "une femme forte").

Un homme puissant is a powerful man, in all senses of the word (muscular, influential...)

By the way, seen from France, "Parisian French" sounds very weird to refer to "le français de France".

Isnt it weird that this is in the family category?
