  • "On Sweet" in French audiobook. What does it mean?

    I'm listening to an audiobook in French and this word or phrase comes up often that sounds like "on sweet" in English, but is probably more like aun suite or some similar something in French. The problem is, as I'm listening to it, I have no idea how to spell it. It's very common in the book (audio Bible) so I think it's an ordinary verb or article or something that is linguistically common. Can anyone help?

  • If you were translating this from English to German, is this how it would look?

    “Way back in long ago times, the fox was white. In fact there are still a few white ones,” Grandmother said as she seated herself beside me.

    "Vor langer, langer Zeit war der Fuchs weiß. Genau genommen gibt es immer noch ein paar weiße.“ sagte meine Großmutter, als sie sich neben mich setzte.
