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.

"de manière", not "en manière. "D'autrui trouvent" is not correct.

You may have seen "D'aucuns trouvent que ..."

Which sounds very formal

"D'autres" is correct for "others"

"D'autres personnes" = "other people"

Autrui is a peculiar word, it's a philosophical concept to designate someone that is not you (someone else)

Well, you may use "D'aucuns trouvent que ...", it means "some people find that ..." in a formal way.

But "D'autres personnes" is completly fine and more natural.

"En ce qui concerne autrui, une autre personne pourrait penser que..."

Yes, even for natives, but I assure you it is correct 😄

It's very formal

You may know the song of Stromae, where he sings "C'est la faute à autrui, hein, c'est les autres"

It means that someone else (other people) is (are) to blame

It's peculiar because autrui is singular

But you use it as someone else and it extends to all the other people

Because you don't specify who

Yup, "j'ai besoin de + infinitif"

de manière*

trouvent que ... (find that ...)

Oui, "de manière farouche" est correct

In this context, it is similar to "in a violent way"

[marsh zealot]

Tu n’es pas obligé de rajouter « de manière farouche ».
« Divise l’opinion publique » suppose que le sujet fait débat donc implique quelques conflits qui ne sont pas forcément violents, mais peuvent être houleux, débordants de convictions. Ça peut être des débats vifs, intenses, énergiques,. Le sujet est contesté, disputé, controversé, … etc etc

Clivant c'est pas mal aussi

Try to write as much as you can first, and worry about the details and corrections later.
