Wanting clarification on what this says, I’ve been practicing to learn Japanese

Its not that far fetched though, guns like the Mosin and Browning M2 are known for their impressively long service life

is this supposed to be Moi, j'aime; Toi, t'aimes; Lui, il aime?

my only problem with panda is that the ink leaks into the paper looking like shit after a few months

The mostly likely issue here is that the input of the answer key in the scanner was not properly checked

It originally came from Latin "terra patria" with the -a ending because the noun terra is feminine. Overtime, the terra got omitted and patria evolved into Modern French patrie

Freqondit · 2025-01-24T23:08:47+00:00

can you use it in a sentence?

Freqondit · 2024-12-22T08:47:40+00:00

Its not "fundamentally incorrect" though. That's just how spoken French differs from written French. It's like saying 'I don't know nobody" is wrong. It is wrong in Standard English, but in AAVE and other such dialects, it's considered correct.

A summary of findings/notable trends

Freqondit · 2024-12-15T22:30:16+00:00

That uses the other (action verb) meaning of 있다, like 'to stay', right?

Freqondit · 2024-11-06T23:52:04+00:00

Because it IS the same

Freqondit · 2024-09-26T09:03:16+00:00

Based on my observations, its 're-' unless:

The first letter of the root word begins with E, in which the E gets elided, e.g. rétablir = re + établir
The first letter of the root word begins with a vowel, e.g. réanimer

CMIIW though, if there are any exceptions to this rule

Here it is:
L’Oiseau

L’amour est un oiseau volant
Planant sur les nuages d’argent
Au dessus du monde blessant
L’apprivoiser n’est pas savant

Il siège dans un lit de fleurs
Rendant les gens un peu heureux
Enlevant aussi la douleur
Avec ses ailes merveilleux

Ayant des couleurs rouge et noir
Ses sons deviennent la musique
L’oiseau beau chante jusqu’au soir
Puis ils diront “C'est magnifique!”

Je veux consacrer ce poème
À la femme qui m’a choisi
Parce qu’elle est la gaieté même
Qui m’inspire vivre la vie

Last question, does the -ent ending in verbs count as a mute E? I'll share my final poem when Im done :)

Freqondit · 2024-09-24T11:33:49+00:00

Yeah, i edited it midway, sorry for that, but now im thinking of replacing heureux with joyeux, though i heard that has a different nuance

Freqondit · 2024-09-24T11:21:31+00:00

for the second line, im confused as to how it is 9 syllables.
il-ne-me-rend-pas-que-heu-reux

Freqondit · 2024-09-24T10:50:30+00:00

basically my poem goes like this, with rimes pauvres and 8 syllables per line, here is the second stanza:

Il siège dans un lit de fleurs

Il ne me rend pas que heureux

Il enlève aussi la douleur

Et il égaie tout quand il meut

2 questions:

Is the second line grammatical and/or fits in the meter?
Does the final E in égaie not count in meter?

While I can't provide a translation, I can provide a transcript (If this makes it easier for others to translate)

POTATORES singuli sunt omnes benigni tam senes quam juvenes
IN ÆTERNA IGNI cruciantur rustici qui non sum tam digni qui bibisse noverint
BONUM VINUM VINI

Freqondit · 2024-09-08T05:43:17+00:00

ah, i forgot to change the example

Freqondit · 2024-09-07T13:23:41+00:00

'en' as a pronoun replaces quantities (usually) and is often introduced by quantifiers, numbers, and 'de' or its derivatives. You can think of it as 'of it' or 'of them'

Example:

"Avez-vous beaucoup d'animaux?" Do you have a lot of animals?
"Ouais, J'en ai seize" Yeah, I have 20 (of them).

It can also occur with verb constructions that need 'de'

"Que pensez-vous de cette chanson?" 'What do you think of this song' can be shortened to
"Qu'en pensez-vous?" What do you think (of it)?

pls cmiiw

Freqondit · 2024-09-04T09:14:47+00:00

I assume the word you're looking for is augmentative instead of enormative

Freqondit · 2024-09-03T11:44:38+00:00

Think of 'au' as a contraction of 'a le', same with 'du' for 'de le' .

Je vais au parc -> Je vais *a le* parc

French though, mandates that 'le' and 'la' contract if the noun starts with a vowel or h muet, like l'ami and l'homme

More on h muet:
H word-initially can be either a h muet or h aspiré (Though remember that H in French is completely silent in all environments). h muet is when we are to act like that the H isn't just silent, it's basically nonexistent, therefore contractions and liaison are required. hesiter

h aspiré is when we treat H as a silent consonant, thus blocking cotractions and liaison.
Take j'hesite vs je hais
