Yes.

Je vais
I am going.

Je vais aller.
I am going to go.

Je vais aller manger le dîner.
I am going to go eat dinner.

I haven't gotten to the grammar section yet, would it be accurate to say aller is an infinitive?

ie. the form "to do ____" what the verb indicates

[young citrus]

aller + [another verb] means going to do something
it works just like in English but this is technically a construction
that's why you can use aller twice here

[grim dune]

It is, yep!

[gilded hollow]

thank you

it's surprising, i don't remember much from my latin class, but many things are coming in handy learning french

it's been yearssss

[gilded hollow]

Wait est-ce que c'est dîner ou dìner?

[young citrus]

dîner
ì doesn't exist in French

[gilded hollow]

It's only î? for i

[young citrus]

ï also exists

[grim dune]

Currently typing accents by holding down the i key and hitting 3 for î, so I sometimes miss.

[young citrus]

é è ê ë
à â
î ï
ô
ù û

[grim dune]

(Et ù.)

-# ç

[young citrus]

and technically the oe thing that I don't have on my keyboard

[grim dune]

œ.

I like that one.

Even if it seems to be falling out of favour.

I still use it to write sœur and cœur.

[young citrus]

not being on literal French keyboards does not help towards having it stay

[grim dune]

I'm on British QWERTY, but I'm doing my best.

Just a lot of codes to remember when it's not my work laptop. 😔

[gilded hollow]

je crois je already said this before

mais c'est le keyboard en vietnamien

[young citrus]

oh right

vietnamese has many accents

[gilded hollow]

no oe also
