What is 'Cape violet' in French?
'Violette du Cap' is a French equivalent of 'Cape violet' or 'Violet of the Cape' [Saintpaulia spp]. The phrase actually is one of two common names in French for the 'African violet'.The feminine noun 'violette' means 'violet'. Its singular definite article is 'la' ['the'], and its singular indefinite 'une' ['a, one']. The word 'du' combines the preposition 'de' and the masculine singular definite article 'le' to mean 'of, from the'. The masculine noun 'Cap' means 'Cape'. Its definite article is 'le', and its indefinite 'un'.All together, they're pronounced 'vyoh-leht dyoo kah'.
Is the sentence you are from Philippines correct?
No, not in this case. In standard English, we would generally use the definite article: You are from the Philippines." This gets confusing, of course, because some country names do not require an article-- for example: You are from Russia. But the country you asked about is generally known as "the Philippines" (referring to a group of islands that make up that nation).
Why do you write 'the BBC' and not 'the CNN'?
Asking "Why not 'The CNN'?" is like asking "Why not 'BBC'?" The official names of these two companies are probably what determined their nicknames. In legal documentation, Cable News Network calls itself "Cable News Network" (or just "CNN"); the British Broadcasting Corporation was incorporated as "the British Broadcasting Corporation" (or "the BBC"; see its Royal Charter). Whether the nickname has a definite article or not is determined by whether the full name has a definite article.
