Hello Kade, Bouger in French means either to move something in space or to move yourself. émouvoir means to moved someone by something (a film, a picture , a song...).Etre ému par une chanson= to be moved by a song. By the way, I ask myself if your question is right. Isn't it rather: what's the difference between bouger AND mouvoir? In this case you have to know that these verbs are similar in English because you can translate both by TO MOVE. mouvoir means also to move in space. But it also means the way something works. for example, la moto est mue par un moteur ( the motorcycle ride because the engine, it's able to MOVE because the engine). Is it more clear now? See you, Michel
