Tips to remember the French word:
– Associate the sound and spelling of “suivant” with the English word “following.”
– Visualize someone walking behind you, as if they are “following” you, to help remember the meaning of “suivant.”

Explanations:
“Suivant” is the present participle form of the verb “suivre,” which means “to follow.” As an adjective or a noun, it means “next” or “following.” It is commonly used to refer to the next person or thing in a sequence or order.

Alternate meanings like slang:
In some contexts, “suivant” can also be used to mean “according to” or “depending on.” As a slang term, “suivant” is used to dismiss someone or something, similar to saying “whatever” or “next” in English.

Examples of sentences:
1. Le chapitre suivant de ce livre est très intéressant. (The next chapter of this book is very interesting.)
2. Après le repas, nous irons au parc suivant. (After the meal, we will go to the next park.)
