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.

d'où viens-tu?

[narrow fiber]

Is "du" different from "d'où"?

[naive swallow]

Yes. "Du" is the mandatory contraction of de + le. It wouldn't make much sense here.

D'où is the contraction of de + où; "from where"

I seeee i seeeee merci!!

They're also pronounced differently /dy/ (du) vs /du/ (d'où)
