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.

j'ai des pommes → I have apples
j'en ai → I have some of them

j'ai trois pommes → I have three apples
j'en ai trois → I have three of them

[dreamy badger]

Oh ok

And it doesn’t change with number and gender?

Like if it’s multiple feminine items?

[thorn matrix]

the pronoun "en", no it's always just "en"

[dreamy badger]

Or women?

Ok

That makes sense. Thank you for your help. I feel like I get it now

[next fiber]

It's worth noting it's not always "of", it's anything where "de" is used or implied
Can be "from it/them", "about it/them" etc., so long as it's introduced by "de"

[knotty kite]

It means “the”

[thorn matrix]

"en"? no "en" does not mean "the"
