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.

Yes, « de » and « le » contract to « du ».

But « de » and « l' » do not contract.

They stay seperated.

[arctic magnet]

yeah, also eau is feminine, so here « l' » actually stands for « la » not « le ». but that doesn't matter too much here

Isn’t it du?

And de and les make des
