Would words ending in -eaux be German or French? Keep in mind that -eaux makes a sound like a long O. Thanks!

The -eaux ending would be French. The only German words containing this ending are borrowed from the French. Furthermore, German is a 100% phonetic language that does not allow for 'silent letters'.

Sorry, annie, yeux is French for "eyes". But you are correct in saying that "-eaux" is definitely French in origin.

-eaux is French.
It's usualy the plural of some words, for example :
- un bateau / des bateaux (a boat / boats)
- un seau / des seaux (a bucket / buckets)
"Eau" means "water". "Eaux" is the plural of "eau".
To Aka Annie
un oeil / des yeux = an eye / eyes

In french phonetically, bonjore (correct spelling bonjour) In German there are a couple of ways, again phonetically.. hal-lo (hallo), Gootentag (Gutentag). Chinese nee ha ow (ni hao). Japanese Koh-nee-cheewah (Konichiwa). I'm not sure of Arabic sorry...hope this is some help.

Les eaux = the eyes, and that is French.
OOPS!!! So Sorry! I stand corrected! It's been too long since I've taken French, and I sincerely apologize. Please listen to our friends below who have corrected my clumsy mistake.

French for sure. An example is Les Bateaux, the boats.

It would be French, but German would be like -uetsch.
