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.

The letter c has two pronunciations; /k/ before a, o and u and /s/ before e and i.
You'll want to keep the pronunciation of the letter consistent across the conjugation, so you use ç before a, o and u.

jsyk something also happens with verbs ending in -ger. G has two pronunciations, a hard /g/ before a, o and u, and a soft /ʒ/ before e and i. That’s why « manger » has an added E between the stem and the ending for the plural present: Je mange but nous mangeons; it’s to maintain the same consonant sound throughout the conjugation

[hardy coral]

we always use ç before a, o and u when conjugating? that is good to know

[hardy coral]

yeah I was wondering about that too

are there specific places where we should keep the e when conjugating?
