Translator confusionHi Kwizik
I am a Premium member and really enjoy the Kwizik model of learning, but I also use a number of other apps, books and websites to study French. I also use 2 or 3 Translators to verify my study before committing “pen to paper” but I am getting a bit frustrated with being marked down in Kwizik, when I have picked different phrases from the recognized and popular translators (Reverso, Google, sometimes DeepL). The latest exercise is “a day in my cat Max’s Life.
EG. donner un câlin or faire un câlin? I chose donner - Kwizik said wrong, should be faire.
EG. Nourriture sèche pour chats or aliments secs pour chats - Kwizik said wrong, should be croquettes.
These are just a couple of examples, but I have many more.
My question is therefore, can Kwizik please suggest the best translator app to use, one Kwizik recommends, which will give us the best information so we get things right. Everyone uses translators so it would be handy to have that information.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks - Jo

Bonjour,
During this exercise I used different terms in this sentence:
Hi, I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you
Can I also say - Je n'ai pas d'idée. [I don't have any idea.], just like I can say - Je n'ai pas de lait. [I don't have any milk.] or Je n'ai pas de sœur.
If not, why??
I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
Can you please confirm the pronunciation of LE PLUS when it comes in the middle in case of Superlatives -
W/ VERBS
- Je travaille le plus dans ma famille. (ploo) ?
W/ NOUNS
- J'ai le plus d'amis. [I have the most friends.] (ploo) OR (plooS)?
- J'ai ramassé le plus de feuilles. (ploo) OR (plooS)?
And if it was Comparitive with Noun, then,
- J'ai ramassé plus de feuilles que toi. (plooS)?
I found this link below, but this only gives the scenario of Superlatives with Verbs & Adjectives but doesn't give the scenario of Superlatives with Nouns.

Please update the question so that it includes the meaning of the individual words, I am on A0-A1 and it's near impossible to do these questions.

I'm sorry but it's very hard to follow the explanations.
In this lesson, you basically mean:
des autres = the other(s) - specific ones, whenever "de" would be in front
d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic
