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.

It is called inversion and is only used very formally, typically you'll be using est-ce que or tonal though.

You can use peux-tu or parles-tu for example but from what I have heard it can seem too formal often times. With vous and est-ce que being more neutral and accepted.

inversion is a way to ask questions specifically, and indeed the most formal one at that: https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/inversion/
