Notes
GENERAL INFO
Point is a masculine noun meaning "point," "dot," "spot," or "topic." It also plays a crucial role in French negation.
USAGE
As a noun: *C'est un bon point.* (That's a good point.) *Le point de vue.* (The viewpoint.) It denotes a specific location, an idea, or a stage in development.
TRAPS
"Ne...point" is an emphatic or slightly archaic negation, meaning "not at all," stronger than "ne...pas." *Je n'ai point faim.* (I am not at all hungry.) Modern French mostly uses *ne...pas*.
