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.

quelqu'une is just a feminine someone

it's not really used anymore in speech or in writing, although it technically still exists

quelqu'un is grammatically masculine but can refer to someone of any gender

okay thank you so much!

that's really helpful 😄

tbh, it's really uncommon to see "quelqu'une"

since quelqu'un is already ambiguous and could refer to a man

I think the only case you'd see "quelqu'une" is if you have a group of only womena nd you're talking about one of them, but even then I wouldn't be suprised to see quelqu'un

so you probably don't want to bother learning it... it won't come up

thanks! i saw it come up on my dictionary and i just asked in case that it was used in normal conversation - glad that it's been sort of dropped since i was going to have a really hard time to find out how to use that word LOL

I have never seen or heard quelqu'une, except as a joke
