jusqu

"Jusqu'" is not a standalone word in French; it is a contraction used in phrases like "jusqu'à," meaning "until" or "up to."

Here, 'jusqu'à' indicates a movement towards a specific endpoint, 'the river'.

Nous marchons jusqu'à la rivière.

We are walking up to the river.

'Jusqu'à' conveys a temporal limit, here specifying 'until Monday' as a deadline.

Lisez ce chapitre jusqu'à lundi.

Read this chapter by Monday.

'Jusqu'à' is part of the conjunction 'jusqu'à ce que,' which introduces a condition or time frame, in this case 'until he arrives.'

Je resterai ici jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive.

I will stay here until he arrives.
