[pale frigate]

Cher journal, Aujourd’hui je me sens excité parce qu'il y a de neige partout. Ce matin je me lave a sept heures et demi et j’avais metru des vêtements mais ma mere avais venu dans ma chambre et dit “il n’y a pas l’ecole aujourd'hui” J'étais perdue et je lui ai demandé “Je ne comprends pas, “Que voulez-vous dire?” Elle a dit “Regardes à l'extérieur”. J’ai regardé et j'ai vu beaucoup de la neige. J’ai me pense “Incroyable, c’est beau”. Je me suis sentie heureuse a propre de l'école aussi. J’ai entendu de mes amis qu'il n’y a pas d'école a demain aussi. C'est une excellente nouvelle. Je construirai un homme de neige a demain.
Je vous parlerai demain monsieur de journal.

.

Oki

-"à 7h"

• "metru" ???

• est venue (être venu *avoir venu)

• Que veux tu dire (sauf si tu vouvoies ta maman)

• Regarde --> pas de s à l'impératif

[pale frigate]

I thought thats the past ending of mettre

[primal ore]

irregular verb

[ivory bridge]

Niop ist "mis/mise"

[distant fable]

excité ??

[pale frigate]

oooh yeah drmrsvandertramp I always forgot

[ivory bridge]

F*cking irregular verb

[pale frigate]

ah ok

[ivory bridge]

• j'ai pensé

• à propre de l'école ??

• Qu'il n'y a pas d'école demain aussi.

[primal ore]

As a general rule, -re has a set of patterns unlike -er which only has one set of past participle formulation

[pale frigate]

idk what this means

[ivory bridge]

• je construirai un bonhomme de neige demain

[primal ore]

You use tu with your parents

[pale frigate]

wait wdym is it not "U" for regular verbs

[primal ore]

using vous with your parents is akin to you saying that they’re your strangers or something

[pale frigate]

oooh ok makes sense

[ivory bridge]

Are u woman?

Or your pronom is "she" ?

[pale frigate]

Is the imparitif not the present minus the pronoun?

no

idk why i said yes

[ivory bridge]

In your text, you are a woman

[pale frigate]

huh

[pale frigate]

how

[ivory bridge]

"heureuse" for exemple

"perdue"

[primal ore]

No, -re has different patterns
mettre -> mis (permettre, admettre, soumettre)
prendre -> pris (apprendre, surprendre, comprendre)
attendre -> attendu (attendre, vendre, rendre – biggest group and closest one to a ‘regular’ formulation)
atteindre -> atteint (peindre, joindre)
Just to give you some -re patterns

[pale frigate]

I just confirmed with translator, it makes no sense but Ill just accept it😭

[pale frigate]

about school?

[ivory bridge]

Bertie, I'm so bad in English, can u explain

[ivory bridge]

"À propos de "

[primal ore]

snowman in French is just bonhomme de neige, it is what it is

[pale frigate]

Oh fuck, I completely did not pay attention in class when we were doing how words change with gender

[distant fable]

excité means "h*rny"
it's better to say "j'ai hâte..." or "je suis surexcité..."

[ivory bridge]

Noo

Not only

[pale frigate]

ohh yeah mb

[pale frigate]

fair

[pale frigate]

WHAT IVE BEEN WRITING THAT IVE BEEN HORNY TO MY TEACHERS ALL THIS TIME??

[ivory bridge]

Nop

[primal ore]

Yes, but for the second-person singular of an -er verb (tu parles, tu casses), the -s disappears unless you have an adverbial pronoun so the imperative second person singular for parler is « parle ! » not « parles » but if you have an adverbial pronoun, you can say « parles-en ! »

[distant fable]

doesn't it mean "horny" or "sexually aroused"?

[pale frigate]

are they not just irregular verbs?

[primal ore]

« excité » doesn't always mean horny, it can mean 'excited' in a lot of cases
it's just that because of that sexual meaning it's recommended to not use it for beginners

[distant fable]

oh...

oops

[primal ore]

Regular implies that the vast majority is of one pattern with some second variations but -re verbs have more than that

[ivory bridge]

Nop, just for 1st verb group, prendre à l'impératif --> prends mais manger --> mange

[pale frigate]

oooh ok

[pale frigate]

hmm conflicting answers, I'm not going to dwell on this topic and confuse myself

[pale frigate]

thank god

[primal ore]

No, I'm the wrong one

I literally just woke up

I mixed prendre and parler

[ivory bridge]

C'est dur pour les natifs aussi....

[pale frigate]

this seems really hard to learn, is it worth learning for a begginner?

[primal ore]

there we go

fixed

sorry about that

[pale frigate]

ooh ok

[primal ore]

Don't learn the patterns, learn the verbs; the patterns will come by naturally

[pale frigate]

ah nice ok

[ivory bridge]

Byeee

[pale frigate]

cyyaaa

[primal ore]

I would agree though with fry and try to reword that

[pale frigate]

either Im dumb or this sentense doesnt make sense

oh fry is a person

[primal ore]

« excité » doesn't always mean horny but it does mean that so unless you're willing to risk some sort of double-entendre, reword it
