WISE OWL
A spot such a one sees on an animal, or what is a "stain" on a carpet or a garment is "Une tache"
"Les léopards ont des taches"= "leopards have spots"
"My cat has no spots" is "Mon chat n'a pas de taches"
"The cows in the field have black and white spots" ="Les vaches dans le pré ont des taches noires et blanches"
"There are spots on the table cloth"="Il y a des taches sur la nappe"
"taches de rousseur" are "freckles"

Spots such as one would have because of a rash or measles would be "des boutons".

The reason why "Moo" is not the same in French and in English is that people in different countries do not perceive, interpret or imitate animal sounds in the same way. So "Moo" in English is "Mehh" in French. A cockerel goes "cocka-doodle-doo" in English and "Cocorico" in French. A lamb's bleat is "Baah" in English and "BĂŞĂŞ" in French.

If you are interested in the different sounds made by animals according to different languages, have a look at this:

Spot: it can be a spotlight or a commercial
moo= mou? mou means soft, flabby, limp, lifeless, spineless


lifo
in french, "spots" can be (for some, as told before) :
- spotlights
- commercials (short commercials)
- surfing spots
and "moo" is "meuh" in french, why... it's like that...
in french the cat says "miaou", the hen says "cot cot cot", the donkey says "hi han", the fish is mute !
