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.

A translation/more context might help with correcting it

Ah of course, here's what I wanted to say (I'm attempting to note some things about French music)

French chanson: from what I know, it's a collection of musical genres, the oldest known of which date back to the end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

• It seems to me that the lyrics flow together in a very melodious way

And then here I was just thinking about if there's a uniquely French type of modern music (a style you don't find elsewhere)

• If we were talking about more modern music, I couldn't say that there's a specifically French style that I know of yet.

"connaître" fits the context better than "savoir" in the last sentence, I don't know if it's wrong per se but definitely sounds wrong, the rest seems just fine to me. There might be a few I have missed since I am only around lower B2 in reading

[misty latch]

datent de la fin du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance.
on dirait que le 2e "de" se rapporte à "fin"

[misty latch]

you're right

but the difference between connaître and savoir is so simple im shocked no one realizes it
connaître is for nouns, savoir is for verbs

[heady cave]

Savoir is for almost anything else
But it can also be for nouns

[misty latch]

Example?

Ça peut aller avec des pronoms mais ces pronoms remplacent des verbes

[heady cave]

Re: "everything else", as there's not just verbs:
Savour où
Savoir que
Savoir comment
Savoir qui
Savoir pourquoi
Savoir si
Etc etc

[misty latch]

nah sounds bad

to me

[heady cave]

it's from the OQLF and I've heard natives use it plenty of times with a noun
It's just nowhere near as common as connaître with a noun

[misty latch]

i'd find it weird
maybe its less common here

[heady cave]

The very first examples from l'académie française (and when I said I heard natives use it with a noun, I meant natives from France)

[misty latch]

yeah im from france
