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.

# heady folio don't you always use qui for people

you don't, it's not related to the question word "qui"
la personne que j'ai vue (conveys the information "j'ai vu la personne", "la personne" is the recipient of the action)
la personne qui m'a parlée (conveys the information "la personne m'a parlé", "la personne" is doing the action)

ah ok

livid pollen
scarlet edge
#

In the sense of a question word

#

I think that's the bigger confusion but I could be wrong

#

La souris que mange le chat => Le chat mange le souris
La souris qui mange le chat => la souris mange le chat

#

The concepts here are "subject" (carrying out the action, qui)
And "object" (receiving the action, que)

Only in questions tho
