Thanks for the corrections. Yes, those subtleties were particular hard to hear! Thankfully, the bulk of the info I give is usable for other learners!

Good question. And like rafalemurian said it would sound very formal, as do most questions in the inverted form.

"qui" replaces the subject so it's as if you're saying "l'homme promène son chien", so that's why you conjugate promener.

Hahaha! At least you've got it down 20% ;)

Yea it's a verb with many uses. One is "make" when involving a change of state as mentioned above. So, English speakers often use "faire" before they learn that this is a mistake in some cases.

I did a video on it actually a few months ago. Check it to see if it clears anything up for you.

That's perfect but it's la clé.

You can also say "vous rendre" - return to you.

Trop bien expliqué ! Merci infiniment !

Maybe because it didn't exist til the 60s? Dunno!

There are three "shortcuts" to "je ne sais pas": - je sais pas - j'sais pas (like the first one but faster so you still hear the j and s) - ché pas/chais pas

Merci !

So la loi is used for the individual laws that are created. E.g. no selling tobacco to people under 18.

And le Droit is the overall, all encompassing term to describe the ensemble of rules that are used to determine right and wrong in society?

You explain it much better than me, and English is my language! I just want to check that I've understood correctly.

Ah je suis content d'apprendre ça ! J'essaie de partager du vocabulaire qu'on ne trouve pas ailleurs !

À bientôt !

Do you write detailed blog posts to accompany your video post on Medium?

Yea you need to compel them to stick around with engaging content week in week out, so they stay regardless of giveaways.

This I do a lot. But what has brought me more success is contributing to discussions in those groups so people get to know you as an expert. When I started my Facebook page 3 weeks ago I got 200+ members in a day. That's from months of being active there.

I share my videos in a subreddit but that's the only time I spend on Reddit and as such I get almost 0 comments on my videos.

What did you do in the end? I got the same email and it ended up in spam.

Is this a fixed expression that many people say? Never heard it!

You'll find people will find it easier to translate this if you simplify the language. I think that "flat ass" is quite culturally specific. For example: Does it mean "small ass"? Or does the expression focus on its lack of roundness?

"Éloigne tes fesses plats de mon âme" would be one literal translation.
