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.

Mon and ma are possessive adjectives, equivalent to "my"

Mon is used for masculine nouns or feminine nouns starting with a vowel or mute h (mon chien, mon araignée, mon horloge)

Ma is used for feminine nouns starting with a consonant (ma pomme)

Ok thank you! I hope you didn't have to repeat this answer too many times!

[wooden stag]

We do, but that's alright; it's the point of the server!

You should also know that there's "mes" as well, for plural nouns (mes enfants)

[wheat plinth]

I was trying to remember that one but couldn't remember.

Also can I use mes for feminine and masculine too?

Or is plural something else

[wooden stag]

Yes!

Mon -> masc singular (or fem. + vowel/mute h)
Ma -> fem singular
Mes -> masc or fem plural

[wheat plinth]

Ok thank you

Worth noting that it's not the starting letter of the noun that matters per se - just the letter that follows the adjective

i.e.
M__on a__mie
but
M__a m__eilleure amie

[wheat plinth]

Ok
