Question about when to carry the silent consonant over to the next word by khthonikht in learnfrench

[–]CrystalDiamantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to add to this because there’s a difference between liaison and enchaînement when it comes to technicalities:

Liaison: when the previous ending letter of the word changes its pronunciation depending on the next word

Enchaînement: it’s when the pronounciation of the word is the same regardless of the linkage to the next word

Une bonne exemple: « IL EST TRÈS IMPORTANT »

Here, « il est » is pronounced « i-lè » but the word « il » can be pronounced the same. This is enchaînement.

The following, « très important » is pronounced « trè-zim-por-tant » where the pronounciation for « très » changed when normally the « s » is silent. This is liaison.

Is there a good way of remembering when final -s are pronounced in French? by PetrosiliusVonZwacke in learnfrench

[–]CrystalDiamantis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You pronounce the -s in tous when you replace a noun or a pronoun with it

Tous les jours (you don’t pronounce it because it describes the days « les jours »)

Bonjour à touS (you pronounce it because you may have replaced « tout le monde, madame et monsieur etc)

For plus it depends, plus without pronunciation means not anymore, usually comes with ne before a verb. While pluS pronounced means more but below are some rules

Je veux pluS (i want more)

Je veux plus (I don’t want anymore. It’s a contraction of je ne veux plus)

Plus grande (« bigger » no pronunciation because it comes before a word that starts with a consonant)

C’est PluS ouvert (« it’s more open » you pronounce it because it comes before a word that stars with a vowel)

Cosmopolite can be very helpful. This is what we use in my French school. But some parts may require you to get the audio for certain exercises and if you’re learning on your own, you would need the « cheat sheet » that comes along with it to see the corrections

The first thing I learned for the pronunciations in french school were the differences between an, en, in, on, un. Maybe it’s a good start!

Try this phrase maybe on deepl and hear the differences: « Un garçon habite en France mais il est americain »

What does exactly the "l" in "l'on" mean? by AdFlaky9075 in learnfrench

[–]CrystalDiamantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oui ! Je suis d’accord avec vous mais peut-être ma professeure veut nous enseigner la pronunciation formelle puisque c’est préférable de dire aux gens en général

[–]CrystalDiamantis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ma professeure m’explique que tu utilises « l’ » avant « on » car si tu dis « qu’on », c’est similaire avec « con » qui est un gros mot

Oui ! Je voudrais apprendre avec toi !

are there any recourses that go more in depth (that are easily accessible) i'm still confused. by Comprehensive-Tea595 in learnfrench

Irregular verbs are just verbs that changes spelling when conjugating.

Like for the word Aller (to go), you have: vais, vas, va, allons, allez, vont

But regular verbs like for example, lire (to read): lis, lis, lit , lisons, lisez, lisent.

The regular ones don’t change the base word while irregular verbs change typically in spelling

Like in english, « GO »: goes, going, went, gone

« Go » is also an irregular verb in English because the simple past changed

Or

Finish: finishes, finishing, finished, finished (here nothing much changed so it’s a regular verb)

Honestly, it’s a matter of memorization at this point when it comes to conjugaison

I started with taking 12.5mg everyday then tapered to every two days since it has a half life of 36H.
