My dictionary lists this word only as a noun, not as an adjective. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/... as well. Maybe this should be changed to "le salaud"?
Bonjour CanarinoThis is a tricky one as there are some inconsistencies between didtionaries: Collins: Listed as noun only in French and English translation Larousse: Listed as noun and adj in French. In English translation the French adj is translated as an adj (see below0* Reverso-Net: Bilingual (derives from Collins) Listed as noun only in both languages but in the collaborative component shows as adj in both languages.The example given in Memrise is a noun and it shows gender as masculine. I have therefore changed it to a noun. Thanks for your comment.EXCERPT FROM LAROUSSE: salaud (très familier) salo nom masculin bastard (très familier), swine je pars à Tahiti — ben mon salaud! I'm off to Tahiti — you lucky sod (très familier & UK) OU bastard! salaud (très familier) salo adjectif masculin il est salaud he's a bastard (très familier) OU a swine
