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.

There’s no way to know beforehand, you have to learn how each word is pronounced.

Ville: like a normal L
Vieille: like the Y in “yes”
Abeille: like the Y in “yes”

Look up words here to hear them pronounced by native speakers: https://forvo.com

There's a handful of words that have -ille pronounced with a normal L like ville, mille, tranquille.

Basically, use -iye and then learn the handful of -ile exceptions
