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.

From ChatGPT, I agree with what it said.

  • Liaison with Verbs:
    Between subject and verb ("les voisins ont appelé"): In standard French, liaison is generally not made between the subject and the verb. However, there are some cases where liaison might occur, particularly in formal speech or certain regional dialects.
    Between subject nominal group and another group ("des voisins avec des enfants"): Again, liaison here is generally not required in standard French. However, in formal contexts or specific dialects, it might occur.

  • Liaison with Prepositions (avant, selon, travers, vers, envers): Liaison with these prepositions is generally forbidden in standard French. However, in more formal speech or certain regional accents, liaison might occur.

  • Liaison with Second Person Singular ("Tu manges un œuf"): Liaison with second person singular verbs is optional in standard French. It's more common in formal speech and less common in informal speech.

  • Liaison before "et": In standard French, liaison before "et" is optional. For example, "les chiens et les chats" can be pronounced with or without liaison.

  • Liaison with Adverbs ("fort, toujours"): In standard French, liaison with adverbs like "fort" and "toujours" is generally forbidden.

  • Liaison with Pronouns ("un, aucun" meaning a pronoun): Liaison with pronouns like "un" and "aucun" is generally not made in standard French.

  • Liaison with "G" ("long article"): Liaison with the silent "g" is not typically made in standard French.

In summary, whether liaison is obligatory, optional, or forbidden depends on various factors including register (formal vs. informal speech), regional dialects, and personal preference to some extent. However, in standard French, there are general guidelines for when liaison should and should not occur, though there may be exceptions and variations in certain contexts.

does someone have a definitive answer

Isn't that definitive, you may pronounce liaisons when speaking formally and in any other cases, you do as you please except for adverbs, pronouns and silent "g".
