Please be patient

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

like this whole sentence just makes no sense to me

the savoir comprendre

and the rien

is the savoir refering to the rien or comprendre i dont get it

[rain elm]

Sometimes, savoir means pouvoir.

As for rien, it's just the normal structure here. After all, we say "je n'ai pas pu/su comprendre" or "je n'ai jamais su/pu comprendre", etc. The negation falls on the capacity to do something.

yeh my brain farted

for some reason i connected rien to just su and i got so confused

is this "su" also meant like pouvoir?

[rain elm]

Yep.

im a a bit confused by this setence tbh

would u understand this phrase

as "as soon as youknew how to recognise it" or along the lines of "as soon as you recognised it"

the whole insertion of "savoir" just confuses me why just not "dès qu'on a la reconnu"
