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.

hmmm, here I'd use 'y'

[tight jasper]

les deux passent mais c'est pas le même sens j'ai l'impression

[silver imp]

pour quoi?

[strange arch]

lui désigne plutôt une personne

[quartz marsh]

"lui" doesn't work for inanimate objects

[tight jasper]

I wouldn't be so categoric

[silver imp]

(if i use "y" it should be "qu'y correspondent," right?)

[paper lynx]

no, "qui" does not contract

[forest pivot]

qui is not contractable

[silver imp]

ohhh, thanks

[tight jasper]

JE NE CONTRACTE PAS

[silver imp]

le manuel non plus

[forest pivot]

I think the case is just like the some verbs that change the pronom whether you are refering ot rather to animate or inanimate objects like ;

Je pense à mon avenir.
J'y pense.

Je pense à mon ami d'enfance.
Je pense à lui.

It's worth mentioning that this is a reference to a meme that's popular on French internet for learners who are confused lol

[forest pivot]

There is a list of these verbs

Thank you

[tight jasper]

you're right sorry I just couldn't resist

SO TEMPTING

[narrow moss]

I mean, it made me laugh

but given the reactions I was like... they're probably confused

[tight jasper]

nah you're right
