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.

il est utilisé à la place de oui lorsque la question est négative et que la réponse est oui. Exemple: Tu n'as pas de viande?
Si, j'en ai.

[north lion]

it can also be indicative of a condition, just like "if" in English, or put emphasis on an adjective, similar to "so" in English

[cinder relic]

It can also be used as an adverb modifying an adjective just like 'so' in English:
« Elle est si grande ! »
'She is so tall!'

[plush cradle]

oh yup thank you

[plush cradle]

there seems to be like 4 different ways to say 'so', probably more. any differences between alors, donc and si?

[cinder relic]

Well in the sense of 'so' meaning 'therefore' there's only alors and donc
alors is more 'then' whereas donc is more 'so' but I think the difference is slight
