Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

<ille> isn't always consistent
some word get pronounced /ij/ and others /il/
it's just a matter of memorization

#

words ending in <il> (or <ils> when they're plural) are either pronounced /i/ or /il/, some words can use either pronunciation (depending on dialect) but others must be pronounced /il/ - this is simply about memorization

there's also the very common word "fils" (son) which is pronounced /fis/
… there's not a reason for this, but it's just something you need to remember
however the word "fil" (thread) which can be pluralized to "fils" is still pronounced /fil/, even in the plural
