GENERAL INFO

Chose is a common feminine noun meaning "thing" or "item."

USAGE

It can refer to concrete objects or abstract concepts. You'll often see it in phrases like "C'est une bonne chose." (It's a good thing.) or "J'ai des choses à faire." (I have things to do.)

TRAPS

Always remember its feminine gender ("la chose," "une chose") for adjective agreement. Don't confuse it with "quelque chose" (something), which is always treated as masculine when followed by an adjective (e.g., "quelque chose de beau").
