simple

adjective SAN-pluh Common

Also means

easy

Usage Note

Simple is identical in masculine and feminine forms, which makes it easier to use than many French adjectives. The adverb simplement (simply) and the noun la simplicité (simplicity) derive from it. In informal speech, 'c'est simple' often means 'it's easy' rather than 'it's uncomplicated'.

Examples

"La solution est très simple."

Natural Translation

The solution is very simple.
