What is the difference between "soi" and "soi-même"? Can't they be interchangeable?
Example: "On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi/soi-même."

Hi Guilherme,
"Soi / soi-même) is a disjunctive pronoun corresponding to "on" (oneself / yourself)
The "même" part re enforces the "self" aspect.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, but just to make it clear, in the example given, both options would be correct?
Because KWIZIQ only accepts the first:
"On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi."
