"Thé au lait."

[monsepd]

I thought "avec" was the correct translation for "with" and "au" was the translation for "or". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[jaswsunny]

The word for "or" is actually "ou," pronounced "oo." "Au" means "on" or "to," and when there is a main ingredient (tea) with something in it/with it (milk) you use "au" instead of "avec."

[northernguy]

dictionary.com defines au as on or to. So I guess tea on milk means tea with milk. Certainly cafe au lait does.

[whitehe]

in this sentence I think the word 'au' is used here meaning 'of the' so tea of the milk, meaning the tea has milk in.
