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.

I'm not sure I've fully understood what you're asking, so I'll just explain how vieux/vieil works

In front of a vowel or mute h, vieux becomes vieil. un vieil homme, un vieil arbre

On the other hand, in front of an aspirated h (that's just the term for it, it isn't pronounced at all), it stays vieux. un vieux haricot

The x is not pronounced, so yeah, it's by pronunciation
Language is typically spoken language first

these exceptions are only for adjectives that are put in front of the noun

Mmmm

#

I can't think of any that aren't but it wouldn't shock me if there's something I'm forgetting

#

Ik the possessive adjectives (mon/ma/mes etc) are affected by the following word even if it's not directly the noun, though it's still before the noun

#

Can't think of anything that comes after

#

i mean seemingly its just a few adjectives that does this to me, i thought it was maybe like everytime theres a vowel ending and one beginning its always going to change

it's not to do with if an adjective ends in a vowel, it's more just an accident of history

#

for instance the adjective "joli" ends in a vowel, but it doesn't change pronunciation before a word starting with a vowel
