I think French is one language where translation cannot be made sense of in the traditional word for word sense.It's a contextual thing..if "porte" is carry..perhaps it means she has not been carried away by death..ah the French.Originally posted by rainee:i see...at my level I will usually say
elle n'est pas morte pourtant.
cos I dunno why there is a "porte" there. if u know, can explain to me?
