Simple question: What's the difference between "culotte" and "pantalon"? They both mean pants. I encountered "pantalon" in my Rocket French course material. I encountered "culotte" in a first person story by someone recounting the experience of being spanked as a child.

Historically the former was also a sort of knee-breeches. Edited by Cabaire on 21 August 2013 at 7:55am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |
