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.

One moment

The image taking too long this is the sentence “je le fais de cette facon”

[south valve]

you can sort of think of it as saying "i do it in this way"

[foggy palm]

But gramatically why is it there

[dark sentinel]

i do it of this way

[foggy palm]

Ok I guess that kind of makes sense

Just as much as anything else in french

[dark sentinel]

yeah

just keep in mind english ≠ french

and not everything is word for word

[south valve]

je le fais de façon vite - i do it of quick fashion

[foggy palm]

Yeah I have learnt that

[south valve]

[foggy palm]

the thing that probably tricked you – if you’re an English speaker – is that French uses « de » where English uses ‘in’ for adverbials like this. So, English would say ‘in this way’ but French would instead say « de cette façon/manière »
