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.

It's a question marker, like "est-ce que"

Completely unrelated to the pronoun "tu", actually comes from « t-il »

[hoary marlin]

Ehhhh what? XD i would have never guessed that

[bold ice]

Yeah, it's a super old thing, in France if they use it they use "ti", but it's rare, in quebec we pretty much always use "-tu" and it's quite common
Since it's unrelated to the pronoun, you can use it with any subject really

Il voulait-tu nous rejoindre?

[hoary marlin]

Wao that's a but confusing and new xD when I heard it i thought he said t'as su dormir... then I saw the lyrics and was like wtf

[hoary marlin]

Wtf I have never seen this written

[bold ice]

Québécois often leave it out unless they're speaking to other québécois

[hoary marlin]

Disadvantages of listening to quebec music i guess

[bold ice]

Hm?

[hoary marlin]

Nothing just a joke xD it's just quebec music has many quebec things in it that I've never seen, makes me realize there is a long way ahead still

[bold ice]

Oh, yeah, it seems like a lot at first but there's not all that much in the end

[amber phoenix]

I've never seen it before in my life 😳 (from Northern France)

I was just thinking of it as a nonsense term

[fair finch]

J’ai déjà entendu à l’oral mais jamais vu à l’écrit

C’est vieux et pas très utilisé je pense

Ah mais c’est québécois

Ça doit exister là-bas

Je pense, je connais pas

[bold ice]

C'est extrêmement commun ici oui

[fair finch]

C’est pour ça que j’ai déjà dû entendre ça alors

I was inspired to finally write the snippet
