"Je me souviens de ton beau-père, il était drôle !"

Translation: I remember your stepfather; he was funny!

Is there really no way to differentiate "father-in-law" from "stepfather" except in context ?!?!?!?!

[RoslynJS]

Apparemment oui !

[CoyoteV]

Merci!

"I remember your father-in-law he was amusing" not accepted. Not at all amused. And why is "stepfather" Duo's default translation of beau-père for which father-in-law can claim primacy?

[Jothi972484]

why not HE USED TO BE

[Ross109687]

That's my question too

[GraemeSarg]

That would imply that he stopped being funny, whereas "he was" implies that he continued to be funny until he stopped being alive.
