<p>Thanks for your 2 latest very helpful posts. I anticipated "soustraire" would correspond with "subtract." You say "10 minus 5." It's rare to hear "5 subtracted from 10" but you do say "Don't forget to subtract 5." </p>

<p>Retirer - correct - That's another possibility . French offers so many possibilities .... </p>
<p>Soustraire - correct as well - </p>
<p>Let me give you an example. If you are teaching kids on subtraction here are several ways for the same thing </p>
<p></p>
<p>Si tu soustrais 3 de 10 combien reste-t-il ?</p>
<p>Si tu enlèves 3 de 10 combien reste-t-il ?</p>
<p>Si tu ôtes 3 à 10 combien reste-t-il ?</p>
<p>10 - (minus) 3, ça fait combien ?</p>

<p>Guess what. The last sentence is the most used because it's the most simple and understandable</p>
<p>Most people are lazy when it comes to speak languague. Try to practice it orally and choose your own way .</p>

<p>you wouldn't use "retirer" to remove clothes? I have the example "Il a retirè son pull." </p>
<p>I see that "soustraire" is also used in math and as "to remove." Is this used differently or less often? </p>

<p>Regarding clothing they are interchangeable and there are no real preferences</p>
<p>Enlève ton manteau, ote ton manteau</p>
<p>Ote ton pantalon, Enlève ton pantalon</p>
<p>Oter is more familiar than enlever, with your friends and family you can tell them ote ton manteau while in business we would prefer voulez vous enlever votre manteau</p>
