minus-squaremagikmw@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoI like learning french because it shows me how weird the connections to english are. “Chez Steve” means “At Steve’s [place]”. This one is more verbose in english. But you can say “chez moi” for “at home”. And no need to specify which home.
