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.

Yup, it is true. Plus (with the s pronounced) is "more and plus (with the silent s) is "no more"

For example, when you eat you can say "j'en veux plus", which means, depending on the pronunciation "I want more" or "I do not want any more"

The pronunciation of the 's' isn't strictly needed when it means more, unfortunately

Some (generally older) speakers use the plu pronunciation systematically

But even for younger speakers, the plu pronunciation is use when it's modifying adjectives (that don't start with a vowel sound, because if they do start with a vowel sound, you get a liaison)

Il est plus grand que son frère → plu
Nous somme plus pauvres que nos parents → plu

yup

Thank you for your answers😊 why does French have to be so difficult💀💀

Because all languages are difficult, humans are complex creatures

You're trying to completely relearn from the base up, everything you've learned about how to communicate up until this point, through an entirely different lens.
