| Mar 21, 2023 at 10:51 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @eglantine I’m guessing you asked here because your app told you that both ‘errand’ and ‘shopping’ mean course(s) in French – and your app is correct. If you look at the TLFi definition of course, you can say that ‘errand’ is definition II.A.2 (“Parcours d'une longueur déterminée et avec un but précis”), while ‘shopping’ is specifically definition II.A.2.b (“Au plur. Déplacement pour divers achats”). | |

| Mar 20, 2023 at 21:53 | comment | added | eglantine | okay I got you ! and I understand what you mean in french :) we can say that « errand » is like a task to do ? And « shopping » is a kind of errand ! | |

| Mar 20, 2023 at 20:10 | comment | added | JonathanZ | Shopping is usually a type of errand, where you buy something(s). Dropping a letter at the post office is an errand, but isn't shopping. My French is iffy, but maybe "shopping" is "faire des achats"? | |

| Mar 20, 2023 at 11:31 | comment | added | eglantine | now, I understand, with your answers, they are totally unrelated terms 😭😭😭 | |
| Mar 20, 2023 at 11:30 | comment | added | eglantine | first, I used my app translation, and it gave me a word which had the same sens than « shopping » but, in french ! | |
