Replacing à + object with ‘y’

Shrey R.A1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor

Bonjour Madame,

A sentence from the lesson states -

Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus.

Could “aux yeux bleus” be replaced with “y” as and be correct -

Nous nous l’y imaginons blonde. ?

Merci beaucoup !

iI Shrey,

No, as a pronoun replaces a previously mentioned noun or noun phrase.

In this case you wouldn't know what you are talking about and it doesn't make any sense....

Thanks ma’am for highlighting the same . It does sound ambiguous. Merci encore. Cordialement, Shrey.
