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.

Context, similarly to how we can tell when "they" or "you" is referring to one or more people
That, or liaison, if it applies (but context should be enough in almost all contexts)

[ionic ibex]

the same way you can tell the difference between singular you and plural you in English: context
they're pronounced the same, but -s at the end of ils/elles can be pronounced /z/ with liaison

Depending on the verb/tense it may also not be pronounced the same, which would clear it up further

Extra: Same with Le and Les

[twilit scroll]

Le and les are pronounced very differently

Different vowel

Les can also have a liaison

[fickle flower]

What if theres no liasion. I think Liasion is something with Vowels. Like Il Parle and Ils Parlent.

"il parle" and "ils parlent" are pronounced the same and only distinguishable through context
