Pronounciation of "J'arrive"I was watching an episode of "fais pas ci, fais pas ça". One person kept telling another to hurry up so they could leave. She responds: - J'arrive ! In a lesson here I just learnt why it's "arrive" rather than "arriverai", but what surprised me was that the final "e" of arrive was clearly pronounced, which I believe is not usually the case. Is there some rule for when to pronounce an "e" at the end of a word?
