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.

Subject pronoun + object pronoun, same structure as "je me" and "tu te"

Because in French, there are reflexive verbs. "appeler" and "s'appeler" are two different verbs. J'appelle Jen (I call Jen on the phone, for example) but Je m'appelle Jen (literally I call myself Jen = My name is Jen) --> Reflexive. The action is on the subject who is both subject and object.
