French language Q&A Forum

Hi, I feel that the “p” sound is completely missing from “pour” in “pour l'infaillible soutien que vous nous avez montré ces dix derniers mois.”.

Is it missing? If so, is this an audio file error, or a genuine French way of speaking at the C1 level?

Hi,

I see here that assez is used to mean "not enough", but doesn't it also mean "that much"? 

Ils n'ont pas assez d'argent. -> Couldn't it also mean that they don't have that much money? Not with the implication that is not enough for a specific purpose, but rather not that much in general.

How to tell them apart?

je pense que c'est Costard et pas costar. 

So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"

Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size".  But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.

TIA

My nearly correct answer was "à 2 heures de Chartes". Why was it not completely correct?

By the way, according to the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures), the official way to abbreviate "2 heures" is not "2h" but rather "2 h" with a space. See page 149 of

Bonjour. Je m'appelle Ella et je viens de Nigeria

Why use 'sont' not 'est' ? 

I think 'tout ce que' is musculin singulier 

I had a more difficult time than usual understanding some of the French in this particular exercise.  There were certain phrases or words that seemed to have a different rhythm or pronunciation to them.   Conversations between two French people are one of the most difficult things for me to understand so that may explain my problems!  However, I was curious to know if the men spoke with a regional French accent?  Thanks
