If one of our enfranchise or other members could help me with a word translation it would be appreciated.
I need to know the word for "bed". Nothing exotic is behind this request
A friend has made some pet beds ie for cats and small dogs as well as chipmunks or whatever, and wants to name these as an enfranchise pet bed ie: pet "couche". The problem is that when I checked several English to French dictionaries online I get bed = planche, pucier or lit.
When I check "couche" I get bed yes but meaning the "bed" of an ocean or a "layer" of cells or something that seems sedimentary in nature!
When I check "coucher" I get the meaning "go to bed" "put to bed" etc.
Now before my French lotto buddies righteously jump on me for this question I will apologize.
Yes I'm Canadian EH and therefore yes I'm supposed to know this already, and I'm supposed to be bi lingual but my knowledge of the subtleties of the language are limited to getting a taxi, adult libations, food or directions to a casino and yes, no , thank you whenever I'm in Quebec or France.
My language disability is even worse considering I have a French surname and the family tree is from France. Most came to the US and then Canada during the revolution and those that didn't lost their heads so to speak.
Anyhow enough rambling - bottom line - I'm not fluent in the language of romance and would really like to know if the word "couche" can be used for the English word "bed" meaning a bed to sleep on and not just a sedimentary layer etc.
TIA for any help.
