the fells la lande Explanation: You need to be careful here! A 'fell' means a mountain; BUT in many instances, in that part of England, we talk about 'the fells', which really means 'moor', and so 'lande' is more appropriate. So it really depends on exactly how it is being used in your text, and which particular 'fell(s)' they are talking about. I don't think 'tunturi' would be correct – AFAIK that only really applies to Scandinavian mountains, and is the Finnish word for 'fell' (possibly adopted into FR, but probaly inadvisable!) |

fell mont Explanation: Cela vient de 'fjall' (montagne). On voit l'utilisation de 'mont' dans des régions où on ne peut pas parler de 'montagne', par exemple, les Monts d'Arrée. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2014-07-18 13:14:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- En effet dans certaines zones de 'fell' en Angleterre (surtout aux Pennines), la formation rocheuse ne permet pas l'évolution d'un milieu de 'landes', étant calcaire et dénudé de végétation. |

fell montagne Explanation: Je suis habitand du nord de l'angleterre. Les montagnes ne sont pas haut (peut etre colline) mais elles sont denudees d'arbres comme les hautes montagnes. Fell est le mot vieux norrois pour montagne, voir 'fjell' in norvegien, 'fell' en islandais. Nous avons beaucoup de mots dialectiques (plutot geographiques) qui viennent du vieux norrois. Example sentence(s):

Reference: fell running Reference information: En Angleterre, c'est un peu difficile de parler de montagnes, et le premier site parle plutôt de collines et de terrain escarpé. En revanche, d'après le deuxième site, un sommet qui culmine à plus de 600m serait une montagne. Example sentence(s):
