Cultural Tip
In France the word *pass* is frequently used for transport (e.g., *pass Navigo*), museums (e.g., *pass musée*), and ski resorts. The adjective *journalier* always stays masculine because it agrees with the masculine noun *pass*. If you’re speaking to a friend you could switch to the informal *tu as un pass journalier ?*, but keep the formal *vous* in any service context.
