post office
Usage Note
Poste has two main gendered meanings: le poste refers to a job position, a workstation, or a device (TV/radio set), while la poste refers to the postal service or post office. This gender-based distinction is important — saying aller à la poste means going to the post office, whereas son poste de travail means one's workstation. The plural follows regular patterns in both cases.
Examples
"Elle a obtenu un poste de directrice."
Natural Translation
She got a position as director.
