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.

subject and object repetition is extremely common in French
what often happens is that you use a pronoun for the main sentence, and identify that pronoun in isolation, either before or after the main sentence
ex: Elle est là, Marie ? (you first make the main sentence using "elle", then identify who "elle" is referring to, also works in reverse: "Marie, elle est là ?")
another ex: __c'__est quoi la bonne réponse ? (what's the correct answer?)

while "la bonne réponse est quoi ?" would theorically be correct, it would be extremely unnatural, as not using subject repetition would sound formal, and in formal speech you wouldn't use "quoi" but rather something like inversion

@woeful lagoon

we don't usually say that

we say

"On est lundi"

donc c'est assez proche de l'espagnol finalement

dans la forme si tu vois ce que je veux dire

Don't compare to Spanish bc they usually don't say the subject at all
