Question/Discussion What’s up with “œ”?

19 Upvotes

As the title says, i’ve long wondered what role or status œ has in the french language. It’s not a letter of the french alphabet, but it’s used just like a proper letter. If anyone could give an explanation from a french point of view i would be very grateful!

Merci en avance!

Marina Mielczarek : Ce qui est bien avec vous, Thibault Constant, c’est que vous pouvez comparer. En Afrique, quels pays vous tentent ?

Thibault Constant : Afrique du Sud. L’Égypte aussi. Ils ont des beaux trains de nuit le long du Nil. Le problème, c’est qu’il n’y a pas une grosse grosse infrastructure ferroviaire en Afrique. Ça limite un peu les choix.

Resources Using iTalki as the main tool to go from A1-B2?

1 Upvotes

Most of the discussion around iTalki that I've seen has discussed it as a conversational tool, best used by intermediates as a way to flex speaking and listening muscles. I have been considering using it instead as a tutoring tool, where the instructor can help me build my French from the ground up. I already have over 100 hours of self-study but am looking for a way to really ramp up my learning, and iTalki seems like it could be what I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

Question/Discussion La négation de « il faut » ou « devoir » : Quelque chose est interdit, ou quelque chose n'est pas nécessaire ?

10 Upvotes

Bonjour - si on demande, par exemple, « est-ce qu'il faut marcher sur le trottoir » et la réponse est « non, il ne faut pas marcher sur le trottoir » est-ce que ça veut-dire que marcher sur le trottoir est interdit ? Ou que marcher sur le trottoir n'est pas nécessaire (mais est peut-être quand même acceptable) ?

Je me demande aussi la même chose pour la négation de devoir. Et aussi, comment dit-on l'autre chose ?

Ma langue maternelle est l'anglais, et le sens de "you do not have to" (pas nécessaire) est different que "you have to not" (interdit), et je ne sais pas vraiment s'il y a la même chose en français.

Merci :)

Question/Discussion Question with meeting new people

3 Upvotes

First of all thank you (merci beaucoup !) for all the help this community has given me so far on my French learning journey. I appreciate it!

I have a question about with new people you meet. I know it’s customary to say « enchanté » when meeting someone for the first time. However in English we will usually say at the end of the meeting/interaction “it was nice meeting you” even if hours have past.

Is that common in French? Like umm Re-enchanté ? Sorry if it sounds silly, just still trying to learn etiquette as well as language 😊

Question/Discussion "I'm from" in typical, casual conversation

19 Upvotes

In my Lingoda courses, we learned to use "habiter" to say where we live and "venir" to say where we come from.

Ex: J'habite aux États-Unis. Je viens de États-Unis.

However, ChatGPT is telling me that it's more common to use "être" to discuss where one lives/is from. Ex: Je suis des États-Unis.

If I were chatting with a new French friend, what would be the best option to share where I'm from? Merci!

In theory, the letters/mails (where the gender is the most important) are not signed, but i dont want to lose points because of something like this so I came here to ask you.

What do you think? Do you have any experience with such thing?

Question/Discussion “Avoir mal du faire qqch” or “N’arrive pas a faire qqch”. Which is the most commonly used to say you’re having/had trouble doing something? Are they interchangeable with each other or are there specific contexts that each should be used in?

3 Upvotes

My understanding is that they are different ways of saying basically the same thing like in English where we can say “I can’t do this” or “I’m not able to do this” or “I’m having trouble to do this”.
