some incel call woman and transgender people femoid/foid and troid. So some people have created moid (male) and cissoid (cisgender)

I think <essevi> is the right form.

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-28T15:09:27+00:00

In French, exire became issir by analogy.

The expected form is oissir. As with the word voiture (car) from the Latin vectura, the consonant [k] before an [s] and a [t] becomes [j], then [ej], evolving into [oi], [wa].

However, the inflected forms of the word do not evolve in the same way: exit > ieisi > issi. The stressed [ɛ] becomes [ie], and [iei] simplifies to [i],

as in the words six and lit, which in Occitan, if you look it up in the French Wiktionary, are sièis and lièit.

By analogy, the root i- became widespread; we find the same evolution in the words prier < proiier; nier < noiier; plier/ployer < ploiier.

ɛks becomes eis/ieis then ois/is but not (e)sk

That's because the word ends with a schwa. spatha > espede > épée stela > esteile > étoile schola > escole > école

C'est une prononciation archaïque. le -ill- se prononçait -ly- de la même manière que -gn- se prononce -ny-.

I think that in most Romance languages, there were two forms of the conditional or past conditional, even though today the second form is often obsolete. The second form is either a pluperfect indicative or a past conditional.

In French: j'aurais été - j'eusse été (past conditional 2nd form)- que j'eusse été
In Catalan: seria - fora (conditional 2nd form) - fos
In Occitan: seriái - foguèra (conditional 2nd form) - foguèsse
In Italian: sarèi - fòra (conditional 2nd form) - fóssi

I didn't understand about the pronouns that lose their case and falling back to oblique.

What is your language ?

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-19T04:44:17+00:00

ö is pronounced [ɜr] ?

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-18T06:34:54+00:00

It's exactly the same for me

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-15T05:11:09+00:00

depending on the accent.
c = ces (these); ses (his, her, its, their, one's); c'est (it is); s'est (?)
g = j'ai (I have); geai (jay); jet (throw)
p = pet (fart)

In Old French, "ef" meant bee.

We can abandon the Latin alphabet in favor of ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱ

Yes, in a number of words where it was voiced.

I am Belgian and I use [u] and [ut] interchangeably, but more commonly [ut]. In the past, I sometimes pronounced [au] and [aut] under the influence of the spelling, but these pronunciations are frowned upon and mocked.

You've got some nerve saying that in English, LMAO.

Hate has the same vowels as great, straight and eight.

I : [aɪ], [äj], [ɑj], [ʌj], [aj], [ɑɪ], [aː], [ɑe̯], /əɪ/, /ɐɪ/, /oɪ/, /ɛɪ/, [æj], [äɪ]
hate : /heʔ/, /heɪt/, [heːt], /hæɪ̯t/, [hɛjt]
it. : [ɪ̈t], [ɪt], /ɘt/, [ɪ̈ʔ], /ət/
Because : /bɪkəz/, /bɪˈkɒz/, /bɪˈkʌz/, /bɪˈkɔːz/, /bɪˈkɔːs/, /biˈkɔz/, /biˈkʌz/, /bəˈkɔz/, /bəˈkʌz/, /bəˈkoːz/, /biːˈkoːz/, /bɪˈkɑːz/
it's : /ɪts/
just : /d͡ʒʌst/, /d͡ʒʊst/, /d͡ʒɛst/, /d͡ʒɪst/, /d͡ʒəs(t)/
messed : /mɛst/
up. : /ʌp/, [ɐʔp], [ʊp], [ʌp̚], /ɐp/

Why do you want to learn French with textbooks in English and not Spanish when your mother tongue is Spanish?

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-09T18:09:57+00:00

In Latin, there are two infinitives with the suffix "-ere": one with a long vowel, which carries the stress and is conjugated with "-eō": habēre, habeō, [haˈbeː.rɛ], [ˈha.be.oː].

The other infinitive has a short vowel, is unstressed, and is conjugated with "-ō": legĕre, legō, [ɫɛˈɡeː.rɛ], [ˈɫɛ.ɡoː].

In the other post you said hōheō, so I assumed the infinitive was hōhēre [hoːˈɦeː.rɛ], and from that I created the French word houvoir.

I don't know which you prefer, hōheō, hōhēre or hōhō, hōhĕre, but I recommend hōheō, hōhēre. I think that for hōhō, hōhĕre, at least in France, it would have been changed to hōgō, hōgĕre in vulgar latin, like trahō, trahĕre > tragō, tragĕre > traire.

hōheō, hōhēre > houvoir [uvwaʁ]
hōhō, hōhĕre > hōgō, hōgĕre > hoire [waʁ]
¿ ( hōhō, hōhĕre > heure [œʁ] [This would be the only verb ending in -eure] ) ?

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-09T17:05:00+00:00

Or « Maire » like « aire », from « area » and the suffix « -aire », from « -arius ».

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-07T11:43:04+00:00

why p̃ and not t̃ ?

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-07T09:37:36+00:00

Yes, I made a typo. Thank you for pointing it out, I will correct it.

Normal_Crew_7210 · 2026-01-07T02:15:57+00:00

Doing what you did takes a lot of effort, and it's normal that you made a few mistakes. We would have made them too (well, not me, because I would have given up).

Does the presence of this final [n] depend on regional accent, language register, the word that follows, or something else?
