"The bras from this store are expensive."

Translation: Les soutiens-gorge de ce magasin sont chers.

[Geimle]

Why doesn't "gorge" have an "s" on the end?

[Jojo553168]

Because un soutien-gorge soutient la gorge.

[angus390025]

bien sûr, mais il est logique que plusieurs soutiens-gorge souteniront plusieurs gorges. Plus d'un soutien-gorge implique plus d'une gorge.

[Jojo553168]

( → soutiendront)

❝ Plus d'un soutien-gorge implique plus d'une gorge. ❞

Non, une seule gorge mais un grand placard à vêtements.

bien joué

[Iorek2801]

c'est comme porte-plume. ne porte qu'une plume.

[MitchellHundred]

Wait, is the word for "bra" masculine? I'm side-eyeing you, French.

[POISSONJos]

Yes indeed.. soutien gorge is masculine even if gorge is feminine.. we say un soutien .. soutien is masculine. So un soutien gorge is masculine.

[howcheng]

I thought "brassiere" was a loan word from French.

[deactivated user]

It is but once the English started using it, they came up with a new term :)
