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.

Thanks!
Another totally unrelated question, how is the Imperative of savoir used? I know it exists but to me it makes no sense to order somebody to know something

[past lake]

The imperative isn’t just about giving orders, it can also work for giving advice, expressing wishes, etc. Example:
« Sachez que vous êtes dans nos pensées ce soir. »
‘Know that you are in our thoughts tonight.’

« Sachez » is the imperative.

‘Do you like the car? Have it, it’s yours.’
« Tu aimes la voiture? Prends-la, elle t’appartient. »

‘Rest, Amélie. You’re tired.’
« Repose-toi, Amélie. Tu es fatiguée. »

Both sentences use the imperative not for orders: the first is an invitation whereas the second is advice.
