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.

Hmmm there's not just one rule that you can apply to any verb

[wraith anchor]

It simply depends on the verb unfortunately.

[glad terrace]

so I'll have to learn those nouns by heart right?

[tender garden]

Yes and no
Most of the time the endings are pretty common, so it's more a question of which one of a finite number of endings a verb uses (or doesn't use, sometime the noun and the verb have the same form)

[glad terrace]

oh okay I'll go learn a bit then

thanks 😄

most -er verbs usually just remove the -er and put eur/euse like

jouer --> joueur/joueuse
manger --> mangeur/mangeuse

I see -ant often for verbs that end with -re
perdre --> perdant/perdante
débuter --> débutant/débutante

but yeah some are random like
enseigner --> enseignant instead of enseigneur

btw they are adjectives not nouns

[tender garden]

uhhh - all the examples you gave are nouns

some may also be used as adjectives
