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.

cant speak for french people but i would pronounce them a touch differently, not sure if i picked that up somewhere or if its my bad as a foreigner 🤭

#

like dirais i would enunciate the final i sound a tiiiiny bit more while dirai id more typically let it drop without complete and total enunciation

#

very keen to hear others input im sitting myself down with a coffee to camp and wait for responses xDD

Unless I misremembered:

  • The suffix -ai sounds like é
  • The suffixes -ais and -ait sound like è
#

Though it's not always observed and probably less common in casual speech.

#

Just to help distinguish the tenses in spoken French.

the difference is primarily regional, but there is surely a socio-economic component like with any dialectical difference

#

the merger of the two sounds is often associated with the south, which is itself associated with poor education, so associating the reverse with high social standing isn't a huge jump

Am I the only one confused by that legend?

#

Oh, I get it now.

#

The fact that mangerai = mangerais was in the centre made it look like a title (the thing being graphed).

#

Using 100% for not at all the case seems counter intuitive to me, though.
