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.

who did you hear say suite like chuite?

#

maybe it's a different s sound because of the u but it's still understood as a /s/

humble jetty Jan 31, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

Yes different S not ch sorry

#

so all s preceeding U are pronounced differently?

toxic lodge Jan 31, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

idk i never paid attention
if theres a difference its minor

#

does your native lang have two different s sounds?

humble jetty Jan 31, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

Yes

#

Sh and S that’s why I’m confused maybe I’m overthinking suite

toxic lodge Jan 31, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

i did notice that at the end of sentences that end in closed vowels some speakers will pronounce a sh or f

#

but its to be ignored

#

The vowel after the /s/ in suite is a high vowel which can cause the /s/ to become slightly palatalized

#

But I've never heard it be so strong as to become a full sh/ch sound

Wow I try to put my tongue on palate and it makes it easier to understand why U is influencing s sound

#

Thank you!

#

Can I ask one more question here or do I need another ticket!?

Threads are just so they don't clutter the channel, you can discuss whatever you'd like

#

If I can't answer it though it would probably be better to open a new one so its more visible

#

Okay.

#

These 3 are so confusing prochaine vs bientot vs demain. I understood a tout l’heure but this one is tough to differentiate

unkempt trench Jan 31, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

Ah yeah aside from the literal meanings I dont know any more nuanced difference

#

Might be better to open a new ticket, my french is rusty and I dont wanna give bad info lol

Well à demain is for when you will see the person again the next day

#

À bientôt is for when you will see them again soon
