Une serviette (de plage) - English Translation

This image shows une serviette (a napkin). Note that une serviette also means “a towel”. Examples: utilise ta serviette pour ne pas te tacher (use your napkin so you don't get any stains); ma serviette est pleine de sable (my towel is full of sand).

The highlighted implement here is un couteau (a knife). The plural form is des couteaux (knives), but it is pronounced the same as the singular. Example: il me faut un couteau pour couper mon entrecôte (I need a knife to cut my rib steak).  Just tear it apart like a cave dweller, Victor!

The useful little item here is une cuillère (a spoon). They come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from une petite cuillère (a teaspoon) like this one, to une grande cuillère (a dessert spoon) and its sophisticated cousin une cuillère à soupe (a soup spoon). Cuillère is pretty tricky to spell and pronounce, so you might need to practise. Example: mange ta glace avec une cuillère (eat your ice cream with a spoon).

This is une fourchette (a fork). Example: en France, on met la fourchette à gauche de l'assiette (in France, we set the fork on the left side of the plate).
