You're right, they don't.
The ones beginning with "d" generally translate as "of the," while the "à" ones generally translate as "to the" or "at the."
French has three words that mean "the": "le" (masculine), "la" (feminine), and "les" (plural).

I had an surprising one, actually: I went to a private religious school, but I had a strangely comprehensive sex education.
It started with unvarnished discussions of human anatomy and cautions about sexual abuse around age 8, and then moved on to the basics of (hetero)sexuality by the time I was a preteen. In high school that continued, though talk about birth control was postponed until the health units of later physical education courses, which not everyone took. Of course, the stress was always that sexual activity should be limited to monogamous (heterosexual) marriage, and there was no mention of anything outside of the hetero-normative.
The last wrinkle was that it was all opt-out. At every point, there was at least one person who would leave the room for the duration of the class because their parents really didn't want them learning about naughty bits.
So it ended up actually providing a pretty good foundation. It was still incomplete and biased, but a lot better than what you would expect when you hear "private religious school."
Anyone else bothered by the grammar in the first panel? Or is it just me?
I was thinking Flagpole Sitta, but that works too
Or a 90s indie song.
If I can't find a Canadian version of a product, I look for Mexico next.
Help your neighbours, everyone.
From what I understand, Republicans, especially in Florida, put out political ads targeted specifically at Cuban immigrants. They play off the inherent hatred of communism in this demographic to convince them to vote against the "radical Marxist Democrats."
This recently happened in my campaign.
We were fighting a dragon, and it kept flying around its lair, making it very hard for my Barbarian to hit it. We ultimately won, but 3 of the party of 5 died.
Later, while dividing loot, I saw that I had been carrying a Potion of Flying the whole time, and the fight probably would have gone better if I had used it.
