intervalle 30초 만에
- Intervalle: A gap or break in time or space.
- Used for time between events or space between objects.
- Think: 'break', 'gap', 'period between'.
- Essential for scheduling and spatial descriptions.
- Core Meaning
- An 'intervalle' refers to a period of time or a space that separates two things, events, or points. It's a gap, a break, or a duration between occurrences.
- Time
- In terms of time, an intervalle is the duration between two specific moments. Think of the time between classes, the rest period in a game, or the time it takes for something to happen again.
- Space
- When referring to space, an intervalle is the distance or separation between two objects, points, or boundaries. This could be the space between two trees, the distance between two cities on a map, or the gap between lines of text.
- Common Usage
- You'll hear 'intervalle' used in various contexts, from scheduling and planning to describing physical layouts and even in scientific or mathematical discussions. It's a versatile word that signifies a defined separation.
The theater has a short intervalle between acts.
We need to maintain a certain intervalle between the plants for them to grow properly.
The train makes its next stop after a 15-minute intervalle.
- In Planning
- When scheduling events, meetings, or even breaks, 'intervalle' is used to denote the time between them. For example, 'un intervalle de trente minutes' means a 30-minute break or gap.
- In Music
- In music theory, an 'intervalle' refers to the distance in pitch between two notes.
- In Science
- In physics or mathematics, 'intervalle' can describe a range or a segment of values, like a time interval or a range of temperatures.
There is a short intervalle between the first and second movement of the symphony.
- Time Between Events
- When you want to talk about the duration separating two occurrences, 'intervalle' is the word. For example, if a meeting is scheduled to start after a break, you can say: 'Il y a un intervalle de dix minutes entre les deux sessions.' (There is a ten-minute interval between the two sessions.) This clearly indicates the time gap.
- Space Between Objects
- To describe the physical separation between things, 'intervalle' works well. Imagine planting trees in a garden: 'Laissez un intervalle d'un mètre entre chaque arbre.' (Leave a one-meter interval between each tree.) This shows you're specifying the distance.
- Regular Occurrences
- If something happens at regular periods, you can use 'intervalle' to define that regularity. For instance: 'Le bus passe à un intervalle régulier toutes les vingt minutes.' (The bus passes at a regular interval every twenty minutes.) This emphasizes the consistent timing.
- Mathematical and Scientific Contexts
- In more technical fields, 'intervalle' can represent a range or segment. For example, in mathematics, 'l'ensemble des nombres dans l'intervalle [0, 1]' refers to the set of numbers within the interval from 0 to 1. In physics, one might discuss 'un intervalle de temps' for a specific experiment.
Le concert aura lieu avec un intervalle de quinze minutes entre les artistes.
Assurez-vous de laisser un intervalle suffisant entre les colonnes pour l'aération.
Nous avons calculé l'intervalle de confiance pour nos résultats.
- Everyday Conversations
- You'll frequently hear 'intervalle' in casual French conversations, especially when discussing schedules or the timing of events. For instance, someone might ask, 'Quel est l'intervalle entre les bus?' (What's the interval between the buses?) or state, 'Il y a une pause, un petit intervalle avant le prochain film.' (There's a break, a short interval before the next movie.) It's a practical term for defining gaps in time.
- Public Announcements and Schedules
- In public transport, theaters, and event venues, announcements often use 'intervalle'. You might hear: 'Veuillez noter le nouvel intervalle de service.' (Please note the new service interval.) or 'L'acte final commencera après un intervalle de vingt minutes.' (The final act will begin after a twenty-minute interval.) This helps manage expectations about timing.
- Workplace and Education
- In professional and academic settings, 'intervalle' is used for planning and structuring. A manager might say, 'Nous devons définir un intervalle clair pour les rapports hebdomadaires.' (We need to define a clear interval for weekly reports.) or a teacher might explain, 'Il y aura un intervalle de révision avant l'examen.' (There will be a revision interval before the exam.)
- Technical and Scientific Discussions
- Beyond everyday use, 'intervalle' is a key term in fields like music theory, physics, and statistics. A musician might discuss 'un intervalle musical' (a musical interval), a scientist might refer to 'l'intervalle de temps de l'expérience' (the time interval of the experiment), or a statistician might mention 'un intervalle de confiance' (a confidence interval). These are specialized but common uses within their respective domains.
The train schedule indicates an intervalle of 30 minutes between departures.
In the play, there is a short intervalle for the audience to stretch their legs.
- Confusing with 'période' or 'durée'
- While 'intervalle' relates to time, it specifically refers to the gap *between* two points or events, not the entire duration of an event itself. 'Période' refers to a general length of time, and 'durée' is the length of something. For example, 'une période de vacances' (a holiday period) is different from 'un intervalle entre les vacances' (an interval between holidays). Using 'intervalle' when you mean the total length of something is incorrect.
- Using it for Continuous Action
- 'Intervalle' implies a separation or a break. It's not used to describe a continuous action or state. For instance, you wouldn't say 'J'ai travaillé pendant un intervalle de trois heures' (I worked for an interval of three hours) if you worked continuously. Instead, you would say 'J'ai travaillé pendant trois heures' or 'La durée de mon travail était de trois heures'.
- Ignoring Prepositions
- When specifying what the interval is between, you typically use prepositions like 'entre' (between) or 'de' (of). Forgetting these can lead to awkward phrasing. For example, instead of 'l'intervalle les deux villes' (the interval the two cities), it should be 'l'intervalle entre les deux villes' (the interval between the two cities) or 'l'intervalle de distance entre les deux villes' (the interval of distance between the two cities).
- Overuse in Spatial Descriptions
- While 'intervalle' can refer to space, it's often more precise to use words like 'espace' (space), 'distance' (distance), or 'écart' (gap) when the context is purely about physical separation, especially if it's not a regular or planned spacing. For example, 'Il y a un grand intervalle entre les maisons' might be understood, but 'Il y a un grand espace entre les maisons' is often more natural.
Incorrect: J'ai lu pendant un intervalle de deux heures.
Correct: J'ai lu pendant deux heures.
Incorrect: L'intervalle les deux villes est de 100 km.
Correct: L'intervalle entre les deux villes est de 100 km.
- Période
- 'Période' refers to a general length of time or an era. It's less specific than 'intervalle' and doesn't necessarily imply a gap between two points.
Example: 'Nous avons eu une longue période de beau temps.' (We had a long period of good weather.)
Comparison: 'Intervalle' would be used for the time *between* two periods of good weather, not the good weather itself. - Durée
- 'Durée' is the length or duration of something. It's about how long something lasts.
Example: 'La durée du film est de deux heures.' (The duration of the movie is two hours.)
Comparison: 'Intervalle' would describe the break *between* two movies, not the length of one movie. - Temps
- 'Temps' is the most general word for time. It can refer to time in general, the weather, or a specific moment.
Example: 'Quel temps il fait aujourd'hui?' (What's the weather like today?) or 'Il est temps de partir.' (It's time to leave.)
Comparison: 'Intervalle' is a specific type of 'temps' – the time *between* things. - Espace
- 'Espace' means space or room. It's a direct alternative when referring to physical separation.
Example: 'Il y a beaucoup d'espace dans cette pièce.' (There is a lot of space in this room.)
Comparison: 'Intervalle' is often used for a *defined* or *regular* space between objects, like 'un intervalle de deux mètres'. - Distance
- 'Distance' specifically refers to the amount of space between two points.
Example: 'La distance entre Paris et Lyon est d'environ 400 km.' (The distance between Paris and Lyon is about 400 km.)
Comparison: While 'intervalle' can imply distance, 'distance' is more direct for measurement. 'Intervalle' might be used if you're talking about the scheduled distance between stops on a route.
The période of the Middle Ages lasted for centuries, but the intervalle between major wars was shorter.
The durée of the class is one hour, with a 10-minute intervalle in the middle.
How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실

- Incorrect stress, placing it on the first or second syllable instead of the last.
난이도
The word 'intervalle' itself is quite common. Understanding its nuances, especially in specialized contexts like statistics or music, might require more advanced vocabulary and comprehension skills. However, its core meaning is straightforward.
Using 'intervalle' correctly, particularly with the right prepositions and in specific contexts (like statistical intervals), can be challenging. Beginners might overuse it or confuse it with 'période' or 'durée'.
Pronunciation, especially the nasal vowel and stress, can be tricky for learners. Using it naturally in conversation requires practice, particularly in distinguishing its use for time versus space.
Recognizing 'intervalle' in spoken French is generally manageable due to its common usage. However, distinguishing it from similar-sounding words or understanding its specific meaning in technical discussions might pose a slight challenge.

Using 'intervalle' to mean the entire duration of an event.
→
Use 'durée' or 'période' for the length of an event.
'Intervalle' specifically means the gap *between* two points or events. For example, you wouldn't say 'J'ai travaillé pendant un intervalle de 8 heures'; you would say 'J'ai travaillé pendant 8 heures' or 'La durée de mon travail était de 8 heures'.
-
Confusing 'intervalle' with 'période' or 'espace'.
→
Use 'période' for a general length of time and 'espace' for general space.
'Intervalle' implies a specific gap or separation. 'Période' is a stretch of time (e.g., 'une période de vacances'). 'Espace' is general space (e.g., 'beaucoup d'espace'). Use 'intervalle' for the time *between* vacations or the space *between* objects.
-
Incorrect pronunciation: pronouncing the 'in' as a hard 'n' sound.
→
Pronounce the 'in' as a nasal vowel.
The sound at the beginning of 'intervalle' is a nasal vowel, similar to 'an' in 'want' but produced through the nose. It is not a hard 'n' followed by an 'i'.
-
Forgetting prepositions like 'entre' or 'de'.
→
Use 'entre' for what the interval is between, and 'de' for its duration.
Common correct structures are 'l'intervalle **entre** les deux pauses' (the interval **between** the two breaks) and 'un intervalle **de** dix minutes' (a ten-minute interval). Omitting these can make sentences unclear.
-
Using 'intervalle' when 'coupure' or 'pause' might be more appropriate.
→
Use 'coupure' for a distinct break (like commercial) and 'pause' for a general stop.
'Intervalle' often implies a more scheduled or measured gap, especially in formal contexts like theatre or transport. 'Coupure' suggests a more abrupt break, and 'pause' is a general stop for rest.
팁
Master the Nasal Vowel
The initial sound 'in-' in 'intervalle' is a nasal vowel. Practice saying 'an' or 'en' while letting the air pass through your nose. This sound is crucial for correct pronunciation and distinguishing it from similar words.
Time vs. Space
Remember that 'intervalle' can refer to both time and space. Context is key! If someone talks about a break in a play, it's time. If they talk about spacing between trees, it's space. Pay attention to the surrounding words.
Connect with 'Interval'
English speakers can easily connect 'intervalle' with the English word 'interval'. They share the same root and meaning of a gap or space between things. Use this similarity to aid your memory.
Preposition Power
The prepositions 'entre' (between) and 'de' (of, for duration) are frequently used with 'intervalle'. For example, 'un intervalle **entre** deux points' and 'un intervalle **de** dix minutes'. Memorizing these common pairings will help you use the word correctly.
Hear it in Action
Listen for 'intervalle' in French media like movie announcements, public transport updates, or even in discussions about sports or concerts. Hearing it used naturally will reinforce its meaning and common collocations.
Visual Association
Visualize a theatre with a clear break between acts, or a ruler with marked divisions. These visual aids can help solidify the concept of 'intervalle' as a defined separation.
Distinguish from Similar Words
Be aware of words like 'période' (a length of time) and 'durée' (duration of an event). 'Intervalle' is specifically about the gap *between* things, not the things themselves.
Use it in Sentences
Actively try to incorporate 'intervalle' into your own French sentences. Describe the breaks in your day, the spacing of objects around you, or the time between events. Practice makes perfect!
Military Origins
The word comes from Latin 'intervallum', meaning 'space between ramparts'. Remembering this military origin can help you recall that 'intervalle' signifies a deliberate, defined space or separation.
Cultural Significance
In French culture, clear scheduling and structure are often appreciated. 'Intervalle' plays a role in managing time for performances, events, and public services, reflecting this cultural value.
암기하기
기억법
Imagine two tall walls ('vallum') with a space ('inter-') between them. That space is an 'intervalle'. Or, think of a train stopping at stations – there's an 'intervalle' of time and space between each station.
시각적 연상
Picture a ruler or measuring tape with clear marks. The space between each mark is an 'intervalle'. Alternatively, visualize a theatre stage with a curtain closing for an 'intervalle' (intermission).
Word Web
챌린지
Try to describe your daily routine using the word 'intervalle' for the breaks or transitions between activities. For example, 'I have a short 'intervalle' between waking up and having breakfast.'
어원
The word 'intervalle' comes from the Latin word 'intervallum', which originally meant 'space between ramparts' or 'distance between tents' in a military camp. It is formed from 'inter-' (between) and 'vallum' (rampart, palisade).
원래 의미: Space between ramparts or tents.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > French문화적 맥락
The word itself is neutral. However, the context of its use can carry cultural weight. For example, a long 'intervalle' in public transport might be perceived differently in cultures with very strict schedules versus those with a more relaxed approach to time.
The English word 'interval' is a direct cognate and carries a very similar meaning, referring to a period of time between two events or a space between objects.
