Notes
GENERAL INFO
Cas is a masculine noun meaning "case," referring to a particular situation, instance, or condition.
USAGE
It's very common in phrases like "dans ce cas" (in this case), "en tout cas" (in any case), or "un cas de force majeure" (a case of force majeure). You can also "faire cas de quelque chose" (to value something).
TRAPS
The plural form of cas is also cas (it's invariable in spelling). Don't confuse it with "cause" (a feminine noun with a different meaning). The 's' is usually silent: /kɑ/.
