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.

what does "y" mean here "y sont tous les deux très gentils" i thought maybe "ils" but he uses "ils" as well so idk

#

"ça n'engage que moi" meaning?

L'espace de means during/for, essentially.

#

Y in this case is a deformation of ils.

Ça n'engage que moi means that it's his personal opinion, that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone else.

#

Just his own experience.

#

You have his word on it.
