Démêlés de Tintin avec les autorités japonaises.

[fresh zephyr]

im confused cause the way its structed it looks like

nos lecteurs de tintin

like theres a whole clause before the phrase that dont connects

[tawny kayak]

Did you even read my answer?

[fresh zephyr]

yeh

i dont understand

like

"M. tintin, dont les retentissants démêlés avec les autorités japonaises d'occupation n'ont pas oublié par nos lecteurs" makes sense

but if u say dont is connected to démêlés

how can u just have nos lecteurs n'ont pas oublié

in front

[tawny kayak]

Ther's no rule demanding that the word in the clause dont is related to has to be near it.

L'article dont je viens à peine de terminer l'écriture.
We say "l'écriture de l'article", yet l'écriture is far from dont in the sentence.

[fresh zephyr]

thank youuuuu

i understand now

[tawny kayak]

We have a passive structure here, so "n'ont pas été oubliés".

[fresh zephyr]

yes

thank you very much

i thought there was something a bit off thank you

one more question how would u understand this prhase

like "how do u say" or "we're told"

[tawny kayak]

Dit-on = they say, we say, one says.
