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.

In a lot of cases, yeah

Regular feminine adjectives add an E at the end which renders the final consonant pronounce. « amusant » and « amusante » are pronounced differently. Check out this page, it has audio:

I should note that, if you’re talking about nouns (i.e. words used to describe things), each word has its own gender and it doesn’t change.

« une table » will always be feminine and « un ordinateur » will always be masculine. Adjectives are words that modify nouns and so they have to ‘agree’ in the sense that they have to follow the noun’s gender and number.
« Le grand ordinateur »
—> The word « ordinateur (computer) » is masculine and singular, so the adjective is also masculine and singular.
« Les grandes tables. »
—> The word « table (table) » is feminine and plural so the adjective is also feminine and plural.

Exactly

😃

Thank you

[cobalt wadi]

Agreement is very pervasive in French so you better get used to that

[loud ferry]

Like what do you mean?

[cobalt wadi]

Adjectives changing to mirror the nouns they modify in gender and number

You sound like your native language is English and English doesn't have agreement. 'The good man' and 'the good men' only differs in the noun but in French both the article and adjective would change: « Le bon homme », « Les bons hommes ».

As far as I remember, English only has one thing that has agreement, and that's the demonstrative adjectives 'this' and 'that': 'This car/that car' vs 'These cars/those cars'. 'this/that' turns to 'these/those' respectively to agree with their noun's number (singular and plural)

pretty sure the aggrement is done with blond/blonde in english, the pronunciation doesn't change either

yeah, it might be the only adjective that does that
