Homework Help: French

In french, does le, las, and les always mean "the"? For example, in the title les couleurs, does that mean "The Colors", or can it mean just "Colors?

It means the (by the way I take french to). Your absolutely correct!

Yes, this is the definite article "the" but often it is not translated into English. That's why "les couleurs" would probably be translated only as "colors."
