I feel a little ridiculous, but I can't remember the plural form of 'eau de vie' and something tells me someone here may know. Can someone help me, please?

Thanks!!!

Eaux de vie, I think??

[Debbie]

I have those moments..... I put it down to having too much info in a small space...

The plural is

eaux de vie

Hope this helps

Just thought I'd add, for anyone who might not know, that eau-de-vie (it is written with hyphens in French) means, literally, water-of-life. So the plural is waters-of-life, not waters-of-lives.

And then the plural of eau (water) is an irregular form: like many words that end with "eau", it takes an "x" rather than an "s" -- hence, eaux-de-vie.

Oh thank you Clotilde! That will be very helpful.
