 Imaginez que je suis sur le parking et  j'essaye de démarrer ma voiture mais quelqu'un vient et me pose une question: "ça votre voiture?

Moi, je dis, “à votre avis” ? Donc, ici, à votre avis, ça veut dire, “Qu’est-ce que vous pensez”. En anglais on dit, “What else do you think?” ç'est ça?

FYI: I know the meaning of " À votre avis "but that meaning doesn't fit well in the upper scenario.

Merci!

Hello,

Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used? 

Thank you.

Hi guys, 

I have some questions. Hope you all can help me to understand.

While it is clear that stress pronoun is always after another noun, how do we decide the order if there are 2 stress pronouns together?

Is it

“toi et moi” or “moi et toi”

“toi et elle” or “elle et toi”

“moi et elle” or “elle et moi”

Is it the same as English when first-person related pronouns always come last (You and I, him and me) and second-person related pronouns always come first (you and him, You and I)?

Thank you in advance. 

Why isn't it soit d'argent 

In writing French, when do you use "on" and when do you use "nous" ?

I've been wondering if there are definite rules as to whether one adds a "de" sometimes, but sometimes I go awry with an incorrect guess. At present it seems to me that a noun after the second "de" is safe enough. Am I right? The help from the quick lessons is immensely helpful, but thus far I haven't found one which would solve my problem with rules for the 'De's'.

Why does "a surprising choice" become "un choix surprenante" and not "un choix suprenant" ?
