There is not ONE word for "off". It' always used in conjunction with another to form the verb. eg get off, run off, drop off etc.

i'm a french teacher, would like to help but you need to say what English sentence you want to translate? Generally, if you need help with french, its best to give the background of what you want to say (put it in context that is). Without this, one cannot possibly help you accurately because in french the translations can be a whole sentence for 2 words of english, or vice versa.

Or - did you mean to say 'of'?

Generally 'off' does not translate and is dropped when taken into french.

E.g the fruit has gone off.
Les fruits sont pourries. (no "off" present in the french equivalent).

Eg 2. Switch off the lights after 9pm.
Eteignez la lumière après 21heures. (the "off" is dropped again).

Of = De (in french)
Here is a cup of tea. = Voici une tasse de thé.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

"outre de"


"babel fish" is a good translate place (just type it in the search engine)
it's better than free tanslation cuz they translate word by word.

there isn't the exact equivalent of on and off. depending on what you are saying you would use the opposites ( as in stop/go, closed/opened (ouvert/ferme etc...))
