    i do not know the exact translation,the french word means that you do something against the principles of the constitution,as the meaning of establishment in english i am not so sure about it, the constitution in french is the set of rules defining how the governemnt is supposed to work...

    For me it's the difference between the word "horse" and "hair". I can't remember which is which and I always say it wrong.

    I guess every word that's long or has consecutives vowels would be hard to pronounce
