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.

Je dirais : puis-je avoir

Je ne sais pas … « puis j’avoir » sonne un peu bizarre.

[languid basin]

yes, and the je isnt pronounced

[languid basin]

no, this is how its pronounced but its written puis-je avoir

you'd say puis-j'avoir or etait-ss

but you'd write puis-je avoir and etait-ce

and if the word can't make a t sound in between we add it

perdra-t-il sa famille?

But usually in french we break the rules and don't inverse the sujet-verbe like we should

[uncut sparrow]

thank you both!

Well puis-je avoir and puis-j'avoir would be pronounced exactly the same, so "puis-j'avoir" in writing doesn't really mean anything unless you're reminding someone the "e" doesn't randomly come back

Read what i said one more time 🙂

[cloud egret]

I have confirmed I read it correctly the first time

[languid basin]

Well either you're just stupid or illiterate because i was distinguishing the pronunciation and the written form
