akya Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 depends if you mean the country (l'Afrique du Nord) or the region (le nord de l'Afrique) so...which one is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well I want to say it is in the north of Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Algir ... do you mean the town Alger (Algiers in English) ? do you mean the country l'Algérie ... ?Therefore, if you want to say : Algeria is in the North of Africa, useL'Algérie est au nord de l'Afrique.and if you want to say : Algiers is in the North of Africa, useAlger est au nord de l'Afrique.Then, you may say : Algeria is in North-Africa, so useL'Algérie est en Afrique du nord.

AK_Thug AMish Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 can't you also call that region 'maghreb'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 well, Le Maghreb is a different region. It englobes Algeria (except Berbers), Morocco, Tunisia and to some extent the North or Mauritania and some of Lybia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
