Cultural Tip

In French, offering *réconfort* is often expressed with gentle verbs like *apporter*, *donner* or *offrir*. The imperative form is direct but polite when paired with a warm tone. Avoid sounding too commanding; a soft voice or a written note softens the command into a caring suggestion.
