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 quite marked to use "être en train de" in most cases

it's like really emphasizing, "to be in the middle of" X

most of the time, there's no need to express that something is continuous (it'll be obvious from context) so you just use the plain present

Idk how it's called, but when speaking, I often here people add a "là" for emphasis when they are doing something.

"Je suis occupé, là" = I'm busy (right now)
"Là, j'ai du travail" = (currently) I have work to do.

[frank crow]

It's an adverb

And yeah it's really common but it's informal
