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.
"d' " is just "de" before a vowel (or a mute h)
"de" is a preposition, a tool used by the language for linking words in various cases
there isn't really a meaning to learn for "de"
rather, various constructions you're gonna learn might make use of "de" for admitedly pretty random purposes
yes
le, la, de, ne, me, te, se, que... and some other words elide, meaning their last vowel gets replaced by an apostrophe before a vowel or a mute h
Oh wow that’s a lot. Do you have website for those ?
An elision is a type of contraction that occurs when two words are combined: one or more letters are dropped and replaced with an apostrophe.
Thank you so much
Sorry I can’t find myself bc I don’t trust myself lol
And I’m very inquisitive person so I apologized if I asked so many questions. I’m into French
Idk why
you don't really have to know what "de" means, it means a thousand things and none at the same time
you mostly have to keep in mind that some things in the language can make use of it
it's similar to "to" in English for instance, it's used for a bunch of things when it comes to linking words
if you have a specific case using "de" you'd like to be cleared up tho, feel free
hey don't worry, this is what this server is for
Oooh OK
Is there a difference of du and de ?
Sorry for ping
"du" is the mandatory contraction of "de" + "le"
meaning it's the masculine form of "de la" (which does not contract)
"du" and "de la" are partitive articles, they are used for uncountable nouns!
Brb
no!
"de" is neither feminine or masculine
"le" is an article used before masculine nouns
"la" is an article used before feminine nouns
it's just that they can be next to each other in a sentence
when "de la" are next to each other, nothing happens
but when you would write "de le", it gets replaced by "du" instead
Ohhh wow that’s difficult
