Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by Ogamysamo: 11:39am On Jun 21, 2022 |
Favorolasupo:well it isn't both, mon amie is really the right one, if the object of a statement begins with a vowel the masculine possessive pronoun is required regardless of its gender. >>>@monsieur etrange i'm just trying to do some revision on what etrange taught us o |

Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by Ogamysamo: 12:35pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Favorolasupo:in every general rule there's an exception so i'll say ma is used with all possessive objects that begins with a consonant. note: it may be same with ta and sa but am not sure. till etrange login |

Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by etrange: 1:56pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Ogamysamo: @bolded: The plural is "leurs". The demonstrative pronouns are: 1) celui - masculine singular 2) celle - feminine singular 3) ceux - masculine plural 4) celles - feminine plural They are used to refer to a previously mentioned noun in a sentence and they must agree with the gender and number of the noun. Example: J'ai besoin d'un sac mais je n'aime pas celui (I need a bag but I don't like this/that one) Though these pronouns sufficiently mean "this/that one" and "these/those ones", we sometimes add the suffices -ca and -la at the end of the pronouns to stress thier location (with respect to the speaker) and thereby making an explicit difference between this and that (these and those). In other words, even though celui can be translated as "this one" or "that one", we can say "celui-ci" and "celui-la" when we want to be emphatic. Example: Tu parles de quel garcon, celui-ci ou celui-la ? (Which boy are you talking about, this one or that one?) Finally, when these pronouns are followed by "de", it is better translated as "that of" (singular) or "those of" (plural). Example: J'aime ma voiture mais celle de Pierre est plus belle. (I like my car but that of Peter is more beautiful). |

Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by etrange: 2:01pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Ogamysamo:Don't mind her. I can log in. Lol |
Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by etrange: 2:06pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Ogamysamo: Yes, when the next words is singular and starts with a vowel sound, we use the masculine possessive adjective to make it flow better. "Ma amie" sounds like a city in the US. Lol Note: You said pronoun instead of adjective. |
Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by etrange: 2:09pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Ogamysamo: Ma is generally used with feminine nouns (singular) Mon is generally used with masculine words (singular) However, we still use "mon" if the singular noun begins with a vowel sound regardless of the gender. Yes, it applies to ton/ta too. |

Ok merci pour L'epistle pls can you explain what Voila and Voici means? etrange: |
Re: French Language Learners.........get IN HERE! by etrange: 6:19pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Favorolasupo: The meaning is highly contextual and, therefore, not easy to explain. I will give you 10 instances. It's going to be another epistle, sorry. 1) At a glance: Voila => there is Voici => here is Example: Voila la femme de mon fere (there is my brother's wife) 2) However, "voila" can also mean "here is". This means it can replace "voici" in a sentence and this is usually the case except when the difference needs to be made explicit. Example: Voila ma nouvelle voiture (here/there is my new car) 3) "Voila" is also an exclamation used to express agreement. For example, when you say something that indicates you've understood what I am explaining or something that shows you agree with my argument, I could say "voila !". In this case, it means "that's what I'm saying!" or "that's right!". 4) In some contexts, "voila/voici" could also mean "there/here you are", "there/here I am", etc. Example: Me voici => here I am. 5) They can also be used to introduce a reason or an explanation. In this case, it could be translated as "thus" or "that is". Example: J'ai perdu mom chat, voila pourquoi je suis triste (I lost my cat, that is why I'm sad) 6) They are used as fillers. In this case, we don't translate them (even though it means "that's it" ). Example: Je vais juste tout oublier, voila. (I'm just going to forget everything). 7) "Voila" can be used to say how long something has been happening. Example: Voila 3 jours que je suis à Paris ! (I've been in Paris for 3 days!) 8 ) "Voila" can mean "see" or "take a look" or "over there" Example: Voila un elephant ! (See an elephant!) 9) It is used to indicate the simple or unwanted end of an activity. Example: Arretez le bruit, vous allez réveiller le bébé... et voila ! (Stop the noise, you'll wake up the baby... now see!) [They eventually woke up the baby] 10) I can't remember any other instance but you can hardly go wrong with "voila". Lol |
