What does cher and bon march¨¦ mean? and what's the feminine form of cher?

1 answer

cher/chère = as an adjective = expensive, dear; when it's before a noun - dear, beloved / as an adverb, cher means dear(ly) / the idiom "coûter cher" means to cost a great deal

chère = as a noun (fem.) means fare, food and drink / the idiom "faire bonne chère" means to live high

bon marché = (invariable) cheapness; cheap; cheaply
