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.

Merci monsieur Nostra

[pseudo radish]

Ça dépend du verbe

Généralement, "pour" indique un but (in order to)

[deep jewel]

Hm

[pseudo radish]

Est-ce que t'as des exemples?

[deep jewel]

Does à refer to the use of something, why its there? Une recette à suivre?

[pseudo radish]

Ah after a noun

[deep jewel]

J'ai besoin de temps à/pour le lire

[pseudo radish]

Yeah, it's like
à => the use of the thing, the verb done to the thing
pour => the thing the noun helps you do
More or less

[deep jewel]

Deux exemples simples?

Qui sont typique

[pseudo radish]

So here it would be "pour" because the time helps you read, you're not reading the time

[deep jewel]

Ah so time is there to help accomplish a goal

So its pour

[pseudo radish]

Je veux quelque chose à manger (you want something to eat)
Je veux quelque chose pour manger => you want something to help you eat (a bit awkward written like this but that's the implication)

[deep jewel]

Ohh ouah

C'est clair

Merci encore

[pseudo radish]

Prepositions are always gonna be a little finnicky but hopefully that helps :p
