Little Rock
Little Rock is the name of the capital city of the state of Arkansas in the United States when used in French.
Did you know?
- While Little Rock is used as a proper noun, the French word roche usually refers to the material of a cliff, whereas rocher refers to a specific large stone.
- In French, city names from English-speaking countries generally do not take a definite article, so one says à Little Rock rather than au Little Rock.
- If you were to use the literal French translation petit rocher in conversation, a French speaker would likely assume you are describing a small geological formation rather than a city in Arkansas.
Examples in context
- J'ai grandi à Little Rock.I grew up in Little Rock.
- Est-ce que tu connais Little Rock ?Do you know Little Rock?
- Nous allons passer du temps à Little Rock.We are going to spend some time in Little Rock.
