The Pont Neuf is the oldest what in Paris?
Correct answer: Bridge
masterridley
LibraLady1010, nope it actually translates to 'new bridge'
Lizzi
yes, "neuf" can mean 9. here it is in it's other meaning which is "new". when it was built, it was the newest bridge, but the older ones are all gone now, so it is the oldest.
Ironstine
it was easy to deduce when you knew that pont is french for bridge .

Is it just me, or does anyone else not understand the scoring system? I don't care tbh, I play for fun, not to be the "winner" of anything but I do get annoyed by things which don't make sense!

Ironstine, I don't speak french, but I do have some Latin and 'pont' is also bridge but in Latin.

Knowing french has really helped in this game and not just on questions relating to France.
Asmaaayham
Tamara_1985, that because French has Latin words roots

Player #4250921, probably because there are a load of questions that relate to the USA

Jumblemania, Any player is welcome to write questions.

Fredrico, that's because it's taken from the Latin/Norman French, the original word used has been forgotten

I know a few words in french. Pont luckily is one of those.

Went under this bridge on our river cruise on Seine River. Beautiful City, but the water was dirty and a bit smelly ☹️

Tamara_1985, But when was this bridge built? I don’t see it mentioned anywhere.

Tamara_1985, for no point at all, I am studying French online to help me in reading and in trivia. Love it so far!

LibraLady1010, Pont means bridge and in french point is the same word. Please stop being a know it all when you clearly don't know french.
Tamara_1985
LibraLady1010, You are 100% wrong. Pont means bridge and neuf is actually new. I know because where I live our first language is actually french, and only 2% speak English in my town which is in Quebec Canada.
Tamara_1985
Haarveen3, Neuf is 9 or masculine for new.

now why don't I see anyone complaining about a question about France like they do the U.S.A.
