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.

Ah. Merci. Il y a une méthode pour bien connaître  Y vs EN? A small help? Little trick?

#

Je crois en toi.
j’y crois.
j’en crois de ses paroles.
Je pense? I understand the gist of the grammar but not when it is used in conversations.

believe in something => croire en quelque chose (note: this is not the same "en")

spice storm
#

Ahh. D’accord.

old gyro
#

je crois en toi
that's different

#

that en is a preposition, not the pronoun that replaces de

Ah. Ok! Thank you!

hybrid onyx
# spice storm Ah. Ok! Thank you!

just so you're aware
prepositions and pronouns are HARD
prepositions are very random and require a lot of experience to get right. When to use à vs de vs en vs sur...
And y and en require you to be familiar with these prepositions and swap on the fly, which require a lot of experience as well. Plus you can easily mix them up with the other use cases for those words.
You won't have it all down immediately. You can ask other learners, these are really some of the hardest concepts to pin down.

um, what I wanted to say is, not everything is that hard, so take a breather
