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.

1er 2e 3e

[shadow forge]

Oh

Ty

[shadow forge]

And 4 - inf its e?

What about for feminine?

[subtle stratus]

Cant think of any exceptions personally

1ère

The rest doesn't vary by gender anyways

[shadow forge]

Ok, ty!

[subtle stratus]

You might see ème sometimes but it's not preferred especially formally

[shadow forge]

But its used in informal slang?

Or something

[subtle stratus]

Not really slang just people assuming that's how it's written ig

[shadow forge]

Ok, ty

[strange gyro]

This is incorrect. The correct one is 1re.

I see

[subtle stratus]

Damn I knew it

I couldn't remember what it was so I figured I was misremembering

ère is the same shit as ème

[dry bloom]

I always write 2ème, 3ème, etc.

I don't care if they say it's wrong

[empty zephyr]

Why is the académie française saying its second and not deuxième?

[dry bloom]

second and deuxième both exist

[empty zephyr]

Ah

Thought they were saying deuxième is wrong since they make no mention of it

Wouldn’t be off brand for the academy

[subtle stratus]

Second = out of two
Deuxième = out of more than two

They're two different things, although some people may use them somewhat interchangeably
