English and French speakers, what does the English word "ti" mean?

Asked by flo (13313points) February 15th, 2017

It’s in this French to English Dictionary as a translation of a French word.

I don’t know what the French word is a translation of.

A French/English dictionary doesn’t have both the French and English words?

Along with being a musical syllable, it also is the name of a palm tree, the ti palm. “Any of several species of Asiatic and Polynesian trees and shrubs.” (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 1960 ed.), or the symbol for titanium. Otherwise, there is no such word in english.

What is the french word that it translates from? If you look that up in another dictionary, you might get a clue. It is not a word I know apart from the examples others have given here

Make sure the word “ti” or “Tie”?

What is the word in French that is being translated?

flo's avatar

@Call_Me_Jay It does, I went to the English side but there is no ti there.
@kritiper the French word for Titanium is Titane and I wasn’t looking for that for the symbol of it .
@Stinley and @BellaB If I had that that in my head or the piece of paper I wrote id down on….

@flo I was only repeating what the dictionary said. (Merriam-Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, 11th ed.) So please don’t shoot the messenger!

@kritiper I was giving follow up info. Thanks for the answer including the palm tree part

By the way what does this mean?
“Appliquez un peu de dentifrice sur un bouton. Le produit va absorber l’huile et assécher le bouton, le réduisant en une seule nuit ! Peau sensible s’abstenir.”

Have you tried putting it in google translate? I get the gist in that if you use toothpaste to reduce your spots then it will work overnight. Don’t do it if you have sensitive skin.

@Stinley.
I put in Goggle translate with Firefox and I saw this:
https://www.google.ca/#q=french+text+translation It looked like it is giving me wthe translation of each word, which it is not.
After I posted my last post I used Explorer I got this
https://www.google.ca/#q=google+translate+french+to+english&spf=1496101227430
This is just one of the reasons I don’t discard Explorer. Why wouldn’t Firefox have it in paragraph form like Explorer?
