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.

"retard" is a noun, so it means "lateness" or "tardiness".
So literally "Je suis en retard" means "I am in lateness"

I am in a state of tardiness

[tender anchor]

ohhh d’accord merci

[tender anchor]

in "je le répète" does "le" add the same affect?

or is le just used for verbs in general

[civic hornet]

No it's totally different.
"le" is an object pronoun, it refers to what you're repeating.

Je répète = I repeat
Je le répète = I repeat it

[tender anchor]

oooohhhh okay thank you
