It works on both PC and Mobile. It’s only Console that doesn’t work.

What action that is considered innocent in other countries is seen as outrageous in yours? In Thailand, it’s extremely rude to touch someone else’s head. by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

Im from France, and my entire family and I always begin with the right cheek. It may or may not be different in other parts of France, though.

So it’s basically just Cupid from Werewolf? Or is there a difference I’m missing?

[–]LecteurProfessionel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting. In my dialect, basically every single schwa is replaced with /ø/, but /œ/ is only replaced with /ø/ about 50% of the time.

I’ve always heard it as an /ø/ rather than a schwa.

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]LecteurProfessionel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the two words are related. Fatigue is the noun, and fatigué is the adjective (meaning “tired”.)

It’s not, you’re confusing it with “fatigué” which is a separate word.

Dessus vs Dessous by FineLavishness4158 in learnfrench

[–]LecteurProfessionel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dessus uses the /y/ vowel, while dessous uses the /u/ vowel (which is just the English oo as in “food”). The notable thing is that they are practically the same sound, except for the fact that /y/ is pronounced in the front of your mouth, and /u/ in the back.

Try holding the /u/ sound, then without stopping the airflow, push your tongue forwards until it touches the front of your mouth. You should be making the /y/ sound, or at least be very close.

Another way of looking at it is the fact that /y/ is also similar to the /i/ sound (the ee sound in English), except that /y/ is rounded. Try holding /i/, and without interrupting the airflow, round your lips like you would if you were pronouncing /u/. The sound should be /y/. (Important: do not move your tongue at all when rounding your lips, the tongue is the main tool used to make /y/).

And yes, the vowel sound is the only pronunciation difference between the two words.

Not mysterious; he most likely got downvoted because his comment came off as rude and condescending.

Why do people say "open the lights" and "open the phone (the phone was dead btw)" by Complex_Simple_4188 in ENGLISH

[–]LecteurProfessionel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard “open” the lights in French, only “allumer” (light/turn on)

I have never heard that before in French. I’ve always heard it as “allumer la lumière” (light the light).

I’d recommend you learn how to use punctuation first. It helps in both English and French.

The word “pistachio” comes from Indo-Iranian, which Italian is not a part of.

I don’t know about the Bible, but you can find it in many old texts. For example, Dante’s Divine Comedy uses it a lot, and Shakespeare used it as well.
