English Translation
The horse is in the barn.
Gemini says:
Grange vs. Écurie (The Big Difference)
In English, we often say “barn” loosely to mean the place where animals live. In French, the words are much more specific.
- Une grange: This is strictly a storage barn for hay, grain, or tractors. If you say the horse is in the grange, it implies he has wandered into the storage building, or perhaps it is a makeshift shelter.
- Une écurie: This is a stable. This is the specific building where horses live and have their stalls.
Which do you mean?
- If the horse is in his stall/home: "Le cheval est dans l’écurie."
- If the horse is standing in the hay storage building: "Le cheval est dans la grange."
