French word for ‘table’: **table**

Tips to remember:
– Picture a dining **table** and associate it with the French word, which is spelled and pronounced similarly (but with a French accent).
– Think of the periodic **table** of elements, which is “tableau périodique” in French, to remember contexts where the word can be used.

Explanations:
– The French word “table” translates directly to the English word “table” and is used in many of the same contexts, such as referring to a piece of furniture or to tabular data.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– **« Tableau »** (for chart or a data table)
– **« Bureau »** (can mean desk, which is a type of table)
– **« Comptoir »** (counter, which can relate to furniture with a flat surface like a table)

Alternate meanings/slang:
– In French, “table” can also refer to a meal, as in “passer à table” (to sit down to eat), similar to the English expression “to set the table.”
– **« Faire table rase »** is an expression that means to start over from scratch, to wipe the slate clean.

Examples of sentences:
– **« Peux-tu mettre la nappe sur la table, s’il te plaît ? »** (Can you put the tablecloth on the table, please?)
– **« Nous avons réservé une table pour deux au restaurant. »** (We have booked a table for two at the restaurant.)
– **« Pourrais-tu me passer le sel qui est sur la table ? »** (Could you pass me the salt that’s on the table?)
– **« J’étudie le tableau périodique des éléments en chimie. »** (I’m studying the periodic table of elements in chemistry.)
