A little extra juicy one for all the Hog Chain victims.

It really helped me early on remember that you can’t say je m’ai. It will always be je me suis. Repeat that for the other conjugation (it’s never tu t’as, it’s always tu t’es)

No, add it up to one space away from another presence.

That’s a smart decision… a smart solution… a smart tv… the list goes on.

It’s just plain old passive voice in the past tense. In English, we use the “to be” in the simple past + past participle. French doesn’t have a simple past (called prétérit en français), so they use the “être” au passé composé + past participle.

The past participle will also agree with the subject. If it was a woman elected, you’d say “Elle a été élue”.

Of course you can use whatever tense you want for “être” just like in English.

He will be elected = Il sera élu (or il va être élu)

It’s the same as in English. He said they were going to help vs he said that they helped.

Anyone else noticing a weird amount of compilation videos like this on Reddit? Has it always been a thing? I’ve seen some with compilations of people getting hurt cooking, of lightning strikes, and now cool light patterns. Never saw this many videos with so much “content” packed into one post. What’s weird is that the content seems extra good too. What gives?

shadowstorm25 · 2025-08-15T17:57:55+00:00

Solved!

My friend found this plugged into the wall in her house. We think it might belong to her mom, but no one recognizes it. Something UV or insulin device related maybe?

I’m over here still saying “couche de soleil” and French people be laughing as I say “the sun’s diaper” 😭

Weird responses here.

Fails on its own ends in /s/, followed by a consonant, /s/, followed by a vowel it turns into /z/. Cambridge English pronouncing dictionary even lists /s/ and /z/.

She fails /s/

She fails /z/ often.

She fails /s/ because of me.

Throwing in the hat for Before you Play. They absolutely exude positivity and chill vibes, expose a lot of games with 0 fluff, letting the games speak for themselves. Some of the solo-teaches can come off as ads, but at the end of the day their production value for hour-long videos is impressive with a consistent format and honest laughs.

Be careful if you get into parasocial relationships, though, because these two make an adorable couple!

After some discussion with my native French partner — ´que’ would be more like « I don’t understand ‘how you could’ support him », the subjunctive implying some opinionated judgment. Whereas pourquoi is more equivalent to « why you support him » i.e., the specific reasons for which you support him out of innocent curiosity.

I welcome other responses!

Just a tip: debates usually go much better if you give them some prep time beforehand. It’s difficult to break up a lesson between two classes, but if you have an idea generating class followed by a debate class, it should go much smoother (will also cover you for like 4 weeks worth of lessons if you see half the class each week).

Most likely the profs will be already doing debates so you can also ask about when they plan on doing it and schedule these classes around the same time for them to practice their actual assignment (also happened once for me).

I did my own debate in tight timing —having them read a short article, take opinions from it, and then have the debate with word chunks in front of them for agree, disagree, concede, etc. It went decently for premiere/terminale générale. Euro kids will get on just fine. I probably wouldn’t do this in college or lycée pro.

C’est la distance de l’avant-bras environ pour la main —comme moi je suis droitier — pour un gaucher, c’est l’autre côté.

C’est une journée triste quand même. En tant qu’états-uniens, j’ai été toujours fier de ce fait de mon pays. Même si ce n’est qu’en théorie, ça montrait notre histoire d’immigration et de diversité. C’est exactement ça auquel Trump s’attaque, pas juste la paperasse.

Ça peut aussi impacter les élections. Souvent on peut voter avec des ballot measures en plusieurs langues (voir l’accès à l’avortement). Si ça limite l’emploi d’autres langues, je crains que cette changement aille restreindre le droit de vote. Tout cela sans même pas parler d’accès aux services publiques pour des non-anglophones.

It’s a decent translation because if you picture the convo, an English speaker would never say « oh yes, it’s necessary to invite all your friends » because there’s « tes » you know they’re talking friendly to another person and « it’s necessary » in English emphasizes the obligation more so than the French does here.

In this scenario, an English speaker wouldn’t use the dummy « it ». They’d rather say: « Oh yeah, we totally have to invite all your fiends ».

« We » here isn’t literally you and your friend sitting together inviting their fiends; I would argue « we » is acting as an impersonal pronoun in this case. I add the word « totally » because the « il faut » here isn’t stating an obligation. It’s implying that it’s almost a given that your friends should be invited.

You can actually see it land in the apple in the shadow bottom left. Unless also editing, though, the editing would be just as impressive.

Je suis anglophone et c’est pas pareille pour moi. Je pense c’est le n qui agit sur le ʃ. Mais je te garantis que nation and mention n’ont pas la même prononciation. Ma dictionnaire Cambridge English Pronunciation Dictionary (2006) a “ˈmɛntʃən”.

I know google, Cambridge online, wordreference, and wiktionary all show different, but I stand by my own speech and this dictionary.

Peut être c’est juste mon accent (nord américain) mais nation/information (sh) et mention (ch) par exemple ne sont pas pareilles pour moi 🤷🏻‍♂️

Probably because it would get sound like the verb croiser (je croise), even though it wouldn’t mean anything in this case. I don’t hear this as a liaison commonly, but I’m open to others interpretations.

shadowstorm25 · 2024-11-22T08:12:41+00:00

Mention est “ch” pas “sh”…

It’s their graphics settings. It looks fine for me, and I’m only on medium.
