even though guard and protect are totally the same thing...
@sempervirenx but if i'm translating to english...
@sempervirenx what is the difference in french anyway
@candle well garder in french can mean guard (like dogs or guards, stuff like that) but it also means watching over or taking care/look after. (like your example with kids)
@sempervirenx duo's suggested answers strike again
@candle or even save a seat/chair/whatever
@candle I learned it garder == to keep, protéger == to protect
@candle not in french sorry
