What is the difference between das Seil, die Schnur, der Kordel ? they all mean "rope", right ? thx

Question

Answer

Not really "ein Seil" is a rope, but "eine Schnur" is much thinner, rather a string in English. "eine Kordel" is a twisted decorative type of Schnur, best translated into english as "cord"

Answer

J'ai remarqué que tu poses beaucoup de questions de ce genre. Quel dictionnaire utilises-tu ? Quand je tape ces mots dans https://dict.leo.org/franz%C3%B6sisch-deutsch/, il me donne assez de réponses:

Seil: corde, prolonge, cordage, câble, ...
Schnur: ficelle, fil, cordeau, cordon, ...
Kordel: cordelette, cordelière, ...

De même, https://glosbe.com/de/fr/ donne encore plus de possibilités, avec pas mal d'examples de l'usage de ces mots.
