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.

those mean different things:

• Donne-nous... → Give us...
• Donnons-nous... → Let's give ourselves...

for example...

• « Donne-nous les corrigés de l'examen. »
  • ("Give us the answer key to the exam.")
• « Donnons-nous un peu plus de temps. »
  • ("Let's give ourselves a bit more time.")

I see thanks!

Also if "donne-nous" is an inversion in the Notre Père, then why is there a liaison after it?
AFAIK liaisons after inversions are forbidden

"donne-nous Z aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour"

[slow cipher]

it's not an inversion

it's the imperative tense

inversions are only used in questions
