Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
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 rules to liaison but unfortunately no easy way to remember them
for the most part, you need to know the basic rules regarding inversion and some of the most important cases (usually some of the mandatory cases). It's mostly something you're gonna get through immersion rather than learn
for more info about liaison, including specific cases if you wanna look into it, refer to this post: #leçon-du-jour message
Bonjour, déjà il faut que tu comprennes quand utiliser de, du, des. C'est un peu compliqué. Donc "DE" on l'utilise pour décrire une quantité. Quand tu utilises beaucoup, trop on met de derrière pour exprimer une quantité. Exemple: il y a trop de sucres. Certains verbes on met "DE" derrière c'est des verbes transitif je t'expliquerai ça plus tard. Revenons au "de". Quand on veut dire de+le par exemple "je viens de le marché" on dit "Du". " Je viens du marché". Quand le nom est féminin on dit "de la". Je mange de la soupe. Quand c'est au pluriel c'est toujours "des".
Hi, first you need to understand when to use "de," "du," and "des." It's a little complicated. So, "de" is used to describe a quantity. When you use "beaucoup" (a lot) or "trop" (too much), you put "de" after it to express a quantity. For example: "Il y a trop de sucres" (There is too much sugar). Some verbs have "de" after them; these are transitive verbs, I'll explain that later. Let's get back to "de." When you want to say "de + le," for example, "Je viens de le marché" (I come from the market), you say "du." "Je viens du marché." When the noun is feminine, you say "de la." "Je mange de la soupe." When it's plural, it's always "des."
(assuming you're talking about how to know whether a liaison is mandatory or not, and not how liaisons work overall. If you're wondering about how liaisons work overall, more info in the post as well)
"de" in adjectives or noun + noun
Not sure what you're referring to exactly. "de" has tons of uses. Can you give examples?
Like "les paramètres de compte" paramètres and compte are nouns, right? And it is connected with a de
I saw it on a discord setting and I was intrigued
yes
in French, you can have a noun qualify another by adding a preposition inbetween (prepositions are words such as à, de, en...)
English does that either with "of", or by putting the qualifying noun beforehand
bouteille __d'__eau => water bottle / bottle of water
the construction is [qualified noun] + [preposition] + [qualifying noun]
the choice of the preposition depends on the relationship between the two nouns
"bouteille __d'__eau" (water bottle) uses "de" because it indicates content
"bouteille en plastique" (plastic bottle) uses "en" because it indicates material
"paramètres de compte" (account settings) uses "de" because it indicates a property/subpart
"salle à manger" (dining room) uses "à" because it indicates function
