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.

someone dmed me saying bonjour

and then saying tu es pres?

and i wonder how to respond

the issue isnt the accents

[turbid quest]

yep, i misread, sorry

[hardy crag]

oh its fine

[twin siren]

Tu es près ? = are you close?
Tu es prêt ? = are you ready?

Since they sound the same it could have been a misspelling.

As for how to answer, no idea. How would you answer to either one if the conversation was in English?

[hardy crag]

i dont know

saying bonjour

tu es pres?
