Notes
GENERAL INFO
Chez is a preposition. It means "at the home/place of" or "among/in the mind of."
USAGE
It's always followed by a stressed pronoun (e.g., *chez moi*, *chez toi*) or a noun referring to a person or profession (e.g., *chez le médecin*, *chez Jean*, *chez le coiffeur*). It indicates location at someone's residence or workplace.
TRAPS
Do not use chez for inanimate objects; it's exclusively for people, animals, or sometimes businesses representing people. It cannot be followed by an object pronoun (e.g., *chez le* is incorrect for an object).
