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.

"ne pas" is the way to negate an infinitive

je préférerais ne pas aller à l'école

you can also have negatives with "ne jamais faire qqc"... "ne plus faire qqc"...

oh.. so something like this is valid? "je veux ne pas y aller"

[lament burrow]

"I want to not go", yes

[spring zealot]

dans ce contexte je dirais "je ne veux pas y aller"

i don't want to go versus i would like to not go to school

[lament burrow]

it's not the most idiomatic way of saying it, just like in english, but it works

[round quest]

yes, now it makes sense many of other sentences, thank you very much both
