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.

there are some patterns, but they are tendencies and not rules
learning about 100 patterns can get you around 85% accuracy, but even that isn't good
the actual rule is on a case by case basis
don't learn "book => livre" but rather "a book => un livre" (un indicates it's masculine)
