I'm learning a piece of music by the composer Georges Hüe. How is this last name pronounced? From the description I saw on https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/dieresis/ I am guessing that the "H" is silent, the "ü" is pronounced as a standard "u," and the "e" is voiced instead of silent. Is that correct? (If someone knows IPA, then perhaps that would be a good way to answer?)
How would you say: "It is hot and sunny?"
Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil?
NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...
I just took the test on the Plus-que-parfait, "Une Envie de Changement". The fill in the blank was: "...on s'etait arretees dans un cafe..." (Sorry, the accents are unavailable here in the Q&A Forum.)
My answer matched the correct answer,but was marked nearly correct. I would like to know why that is?
Bonjour!
Here baby in French means "le bebe" as "le" here is it a male baby or a baby in general and if it is a female baby can we replace it with "la" as in " la bebe "
How do you know the y in the beginning of a word is being used as a vowel or consonant??
Salut! Je me demands pourquoi on ne fait pas l'accord de gendre entre gosses nfpl et aucun dans l'exercise.
aucun/aucune agree in gender with the object it refers toYou have to use the negation ne/n' unlike in EnglishRelated example: Les filles sortent ce soir, mais aucune ne prend le train.
Is it assumed that gosses functions as a plural masculine noun in this context since the gender of the kids is non specified, despite the noun itself being feminine? I know we do an unfortunate amount of presuming masculinity in French, but want to understand completely. I feel I may be close to a new intuition here -- hoping that is why aucune is incorrect.
Merci d'avance pour l'aide!
Hey,
I am. not sure if its ok to post this here. But I noticed that in the lesson on reflexive pronouns.. it says -en nous endoromons, nous (for present participle)
Shouldn't it be -En nous endormant, nous..... What am I missing?
What is the rule for using "au-dessous/dessus de" rather than "sous/sur"?
When I take the quizzes, the answers I choose aren't the ones showing when I get the review. It seems the quiz is changing my answers. Is anyone else experiencing this?
