Here's the breakdown:
* English "mission": Refers to a specific task, purpose, or objective.
* French "mission": While it can also refer to a task, it's often used in the context of religious or diplomatic missions. It can also be used more broadly to refer to a special assignment or a long-term project.
Here are some examples:
* English: "My mission is to save the world."
* French: "Ma mission est de sauver le monde."
* English: "The United Nations sent a mission to the conflict zone."
* French: "Les Nations Unies ont envoyé une mission dans la zone de conflit."
* English: "The company's mission is to provide quality products."
* French: "La mission de l'entreprise est de fournir des produits de qualité."
So, while "mission" is a French word, its usage is often more focused on formal or specific contexts than in English.
