If you can speak french and would be willing to translate this for me please reply with the correct french.
its for my french midterm, its a report on Cambodia
anyway, here is the sentence i need help on:

'Another odd thing is that Cambodians will not sit with the soles of their feet facing an image of Buddha or a person of higher status.'

what i have down for that is:
'Un autre bizzare chose est que Cambodians...then i have nothing until...avec la plantes de leur pieds revement vers un image de Buddha ou un personne de haut statut.'

please fill in the blanks

Une autre chose impaire est que les Cambodgiens ne s'assiéront pas avec les semelles de leurs pieds faisant face à une image de Bouddha ou d'une personne d'un statut plus élevé.

But I think you may have to switch it to the masculine form depending on the context

altavista.com doesn't translate correctly.... it switches around some of the verbs sometimes and the passe compose and irregulars get messed up sometimes... not reliable for large text documents either

'semelle des pieds' isnt the right word. You got to say 'la plante des pieds'. Semelle is what's under our shoes not our feet. 'Plante des pieds' is the correct word.

heheh, weak. BeckyK, you went to a translation website for that one, I can tell because the grammer is all wrong (it's as if you're talking about a thing, not a person) and so are the verbe tenses. Good luck with that.



yeah, rockin' the heartagram.
