corbeille 30초 만에
- Corbeille translates to 'basket', commonly for waste paper or laundry.
- It's a feminine noun, often used in phrases like 'corbeille à papier' or 'corbeille à linge'.
- Distinguish from 'panier' (general basket) and 'poubelle' (trash can).
- Found in homes, offices, and shops.
The French word corbeille most commonly translates to 'basket' in English. However, it's not just any basket; it often implies a specific type of basket used for particular purposes. Think of it as a container, usually woven or made of a flexible material, designed to hold things. While 'basket' is a good general translation, the context in which 'corbeille' is used in French can add nuance.
- Primary Meanings
- A container, typically round or oval, used for holding various items. It can be decorative or functional.
- Common Uses
- Often specifically used for waste paper (a 'waste paper basket') or for laundry (a 'laundry basket'). It can also refer to a fruit basket or a decorative basket for gifts.
- Material and Appearance
- Corbeilles can be made from wicker, rattan, straw, plastic, or metal. They might have handles, or they might be open-topped containers.
In the office, I threw the crumpled paper into the corbeille à papier.
The dirty clothes were piling up next to the corbeille à linge.
The term can also be used more figuratively. For example, a 'corbeille de mariage' is a wedding basket, often filled with gifts for the newlyweds. In a more technical sense, a 'corbeille' can refer to a basket-like structure in engineering or architecture, but this is less common for everyday learners. For A2 learners, focusing on the 'waste paper basket' and 'laundry basket' meanings is most practical.
The word itself has a slightly more elegant feel than a simple 'basket' in English, often suggesting a more structured or perhaps decorative item. It's a versatile word that you'll encounter in various domestic and office settings. Understanding its primary uses will significantly help in comprehending French descriptions of everyday objects and spaces.
Using corbeille correctly involves understanding its common companions and the contexts it fits into. The most frequent phrases you'll encounter involve specifying what the basket is for, typically using the preposition 'à' followed by the purpose.
- Corbeille à papier
- This is the most direct translation of 'waste paper basket' or 'trash can' for papers. It's a common fixture in offices, studies, and even living rooms.
- Corbeille à linge
- This refers to a laundry basket, where dirty clothes are collected before washing.
- Corbeille de fruits
- This means 'fruit basket', often used for presenting or storing fruits.
- Corbeille de mariage
- A wedding basket, typically filled with gifts.
Veuillez jeter vos papiers dans la corbeille à papier.
Ma mère m'a demandé de trier le linge et de le mettre dans la corbeille à linge.
When used without a specific qualifier like 'à papier' or 'à linge', 'corbeille' can refer to a more general basket, often decorative. For instance, a florist might present a bouquet in a beautiful 'corbeille'. The article used with 'corbeille' will depend on whether it's specific or general: 'une corbeille' (a basket) or 'la corbeille' (the basket).
Practice constructing simple sentences using these common phrases. For example: 'J'ai acheté une nouvelle corbeille pour mes magazines.' (I bought a new basket for my magazines.) Or, 'La corbeille est pleine de linge sale.' (The basket is full of dirty laundry.) This active usage will solidify your understanding.
You'll encounter the word corbeille in many everyday French settings, making it a practical vocabulary item. Its presence is most felt in domestic environments and workplaces.
- Homes
- In bedrooms, bathrooms, or laundry rooms, you'll hear 'corbeille à linge' for laundry baskets. In living rooms or studies, 'corbeille à papier' is common for waste paper. Kitchens might have a decorative 'corbeille de fruits' on the counter.
- Offices and Schools
- The 'corbeille à papier' is a standard item in almost every office cubicle, classroom, or meeting room. You might also see larger, more decorative baskets used for mail or other office supplies.
- Shops and Markets
- Florists use 'corbeilles' to arrange and present flowers. Bakeries might display pastries in attractive baskets. Fruit and vegetable stalls often use them to showcase their produce.
- Hotels and Public Spaces
- Hotel rooms might have a 'corbeille' for guests to store their belongings or for amenities. Public restrooms might have a 'corbeille' for sanitary waste.
Dans ma chambre, j'ai une grande corbeille pour le linge sale.
Le bureau nous a fourni une corbeille à papier pour chaque employé.
You might also hear it in conversations about home organization, shopping for home goods, or even when discussing traditional crafts. For instance, someone might say, 'J'adore les corbeilles en osier, elles donnent un style naturel à la maison.' (I love wicker baskets, they give a natural style to the home.) Pay attention to the context; if someone is talking about tidying up or disposing of something, 'corbeille' is likely involved.
While corbeille is a straightforward word, learners can sometimes make errors, particularly with its specificity and related terms.
- Confusing with 'panier'
- The most common confusion is with the word 'panier'. While both mean 'basket', 'panier' is a more general term and can refer to almost any type of basket, including shopping baskets ('panier de courses'), picnic baskets ('panier de pique-nique'), or even a bicycle basket ('panier de vélo'). 'Corbeille' often implies a more specific function (waste, laundry) or a more decorative, structured form. Using 'panier' when 'corbeille' is more appropriate, or vice-versa, can sound slightly off, though often understandable.
- Incorrect Gender Agreement
- 'Corbeille' is a feminine noun. Forgetting to use feminine articles ('une', 'la') or adjectives (if they were to agree) is a common grammatical slip for learners.
- Overgeneralization
- Sometimes learners might use 'corbeille' for any container, including boxes or bins that aren't basket-like. While context can sometimes save this, it's best to reserve 'corbeille' for actual basket forms.
- Misunderstanding 'à papier' and 'à linge'
- While understandable, directly translating 'waste paper basket' as 'corbeille de papier' instead of the standard 'corbeille à papier' is a common mistake. The preposition 'à' here signifies purpose. Similarly, 'corbeille de linge' is less common than 'corbeille à linge'.
Incorrect: J'ai mis mes chaussettes dans la corbeille de linge.
Correct: J'ai mis mes chaussettes dans la corbeille à linge.
Another subtle error can be using 'corbeille' to refer to a bin that is clearly made of plastic and has a lid, which might be better described as a 'poubelle' (trash can) or a 'bac' (bin). While a 'corbeille' can be made of plastic, its form is typically more open and basket-like.
Understanding the nuances between corbeille and similar words is key to precise French usage.
- Corbeille vs. Panier
- As mentioned, this is the primary distinction. Corbeille implies a specific function (waste, laundry) or a more structured, often decorative, basket. Panier is the general term for basket, especially those used for carrying things like shopping ('panier de courses'), picnics ('panier pique-nique'), or even a bicycle basket ('panier de vélo'). A 'panier' is often more utilitarian and portable.
- Corbeille vs. Poubelle
- Poubelle specifically means 'trash can' or 'dustbin'. While a 'corbeille à papier' functions as a waste bin, 'poubelle' is a more direct and often larger term for a garbage container, typically made of plastic or metal and often with a lid. A 'corbeille à papier' is usually more open and might be made of wicker or lighter materials.
- Corbeille vs. Bac
- Bac is a more generic term for a bin, box, or container, often larger and more functional than decorative. You might have a 'bac de rangement' (storage bin) or a 'bac de recyclage' (recycling bin). It generally lacks the woven or basket-like form implied by 'corbeille'.
- Corbeille vs. Cesta (Spanish influence)
- While 'cesta' is Spanish for basket, it's not a standard French word. However, in some regions or specific contexts influenced by Spanish, you might hear it. Stick to French terms like 'corbeille' and 'panier' for standard French.
- Corbeille vs. Hotte
- This is a more specialized comparison. 'Hotte' can refer to a chimney hood ('hotte de cuisine') or a large basket used for collecting grapes during harvest ('hotte de vendangeur'). It's a much larger, often utilitarian basket for specific agricultural or industrial purposes, unlike the domestic 'corbeille'.
Comparison: A 'corbeille à papier' is a type of 'poubelle', but a 'poubelle' is not necessarily a 'corbeille'.
Comparison: You take your 'panier de courses' to the supermarket, but you put your dirty clothes in the 'corbeille à linge'.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, 'corbeille' fundamentally refers to a basket or a basket-like container. While it can be made of various materials (wicker, metal, plastic), its form is typically that of a basket. It's not used for items that are clearly not baskets, like a solid box or a flexible bag.
The main difference lies in specificity and common usage. 'Panier' is the general word for 'basket' and is used for carrying things (shopping, picnics). 'Corbeille' is more specific, commonly referring to waste paper baskets ('corbeille à papier') or laundry baskets ('corbeille à linge'), and can also imply a more decorative or structured basket.
Yes, 'corbeille' can be used for food, most commonly as 'corbeille de fruits' (fruit basket) or 'corbeille à pain' (bread basket). In these cases, it refers to a basket used for presenting or holding food items.
Yes, 'corbeille' is always a feminine noun in French. This means you will use feminine articles like 'une' and 'la', and any adjectives describing it must also be in their feminine form (e.g., 'une jolie corbeille').
'Corbeille à papier' is the standard French term for a waste paper basket or a small trash can specifically for paper, commonly found in offices and studies.
A 'corbeille de mariage' is a wedding basket. It's a decorative basket, often filled with gifts, presented to the newlyweds as part of the wedding celebrations. It symbolizes good wishes and abundance.
While 'corbeille' primarily refers to domestic or office use, the concept of a basket-like container exists in other fields. However, for industrial purposes, more specific terms like 'bac' (bin) or specialized terms for large collection vessels are usually employed. 'Corbeille' itself generally implies a smaller, more manageable size.
Generally, no. The word itself is neutral. However, like any object, its context can imply meaning. Being 'in the corbeille' could metaphorically mean being discarded or forgotten, similar to throwing something in a waste basket.
Traditionally, 'corbeilles' are made from natural materials like wicker ('osier'), rattan, straw, or bamboo. However, they can also be made from metal, plastic, or fabric, especially for functional uses like laundry baskets.
The pronunciation is roughly 'kor-BAY'. The 'r' is a guttural French 'r', and the 'lle' at the end sounds like 'ay' or 'bay' with a soft 'y' sound, not a hard 'l'.
