Cultural Tip
In French, “si” is only used to introduce a condition (if). It is not the “si” that means “yes” after a negative question—that’s a different usage (e.g., “Tu n’as pas faim ? Si !”). Also, French speakers often check that a map or app is downloaded before giving directions, especially when traveling in rural areas where internet may be spotty.
