Emmanuel Macron thanks Australian PM's 'delicious wife'
English and French share many words, which is helpful when learning the language. But unfortunately a word can often mean something different in each language.
President Macron, who prides himself on his English, appears to have fallen into this trap when he referred to the Australian Prime Minister's wife as being 'delicious'. It can mean delicious in French, particularly when referring to food, but when referring to a person it is more likely to mean charming or delightful.
