意思
To wash plates, cups, and cutlery after a meal.
文化背景
In France, it's common to leave the 'vaisselle' to soak in the sink (laisser tremper) if the food is stuck, but leaving it overnight is often seen as lazy. In Quebec, you might hear 'laver la vaisselle' more frequently than in France, and sometimes 'vaisselle' is used in the plural, though 'faire la vaisselle' is still perfectly understood. Belgians use 'faire la vaisselle' just like the French, but they might use different words for the items being washed, like 'essuie' for a dish towel (instead of 'torchon'). In many West African French-speaking countries, 'faire la vaisselle' is a daily task often done outside or in a courtyard, and it remains a very social, communal activity.
The 'Faire' Rule
In French, most household chores use 'faire' (faire le lit, faire les courses, faire le ménage). Memorize them as a group!
Singular Only
Never say 'les vaisselles'. Even if there are 100 plates, it's still 'la vaisselle'.
