"C'est vrai que les Français aiment les rayures ?"

Translation: Is it true that the French like stripes?

[Fleursdelysa]

Oui, je peux vous assurer que c'est absolument vrai !

Merci! Love it when the comments are nothing to do with grammar.

Even more so in like 50 bce perhaps - I thought this as a reference to those mighty Ghauls portrayed by Goscinny and Uderzo :)

I believe that it was referencing the striped shirt. Americans for years used to draw French people as having black and white striped shirts, barrettes, funny mustaches, always carrying a baguette and drinking wine.

Comment ?

I thought she was saying "les reliures", which would also be possible. But probably not today; it was a big 19th century thing.

[Daniel589120]

I quickly answered Is it true that the French love stripes? without thinking about it, and it was accepted!

Is it necessarily correct to use love here?

[b_adger]

I did the same, but I don't think it is correct since stripes are not people or pets.

[GraemeSarg]

It's a valid translation. In this context, either verb could be used in either language.

Now that you (hopefully) understand the concepts DL is relaxing its constraints.
