“But a language, even a foreign language, is something so intimate that it enters inside of us despite the fissure. It becomes a part of our body, our soul. It takes root in the brain, it emerges from our mouths. In time, it nestles in the heart.”

- Translating Myself and Others by Jhumpa Lahiri (2022)

Study French with me #1

... and English, too XD 'cause my native language is actually Spanish, but I think that studying a 3rd language in my 2nd language might be more interesting... I'm probably wrong, I hope I'm not, let's cross fingers dXD (that just looks like an XD with a cap).

Today is septembre 10, 2022

It's been a lot of time since my last French class, so I'm retaking it on my own now. Today, I practiced the pronunciation of the "most frequent" syllables, and I also started studying the definite article le, la, and l'.

So, here is what I read today:

The definitive article in French has a gender, which must match the gender of its noun. I don't remember if there are any gender neutral words in French, but the book I'm studying from kind of suggests that all words in French are either femenine or masculine... please correct me on that if we're wrong. Anyways, here are some examples of femenine nouns:

la banque (the bank)

la boutique (the store or shop)

la femme (the woman, wife)

la jeune fille (the girl)

la langue (the language)

la voiture (the car)

Next, we have masculine nouns:

le chat (the cat)

le chien (the dog)

le cours (the class or course)

le frére (the brother)

le garçon (the boy)

le livre (the book)

It seems like all femenine nouns end in -e, however this is not a general rule. There are femenine words that do not end in -e, for instance think of l’infant (the child) which can stand for a boy or a girl, notice too that distraction (amusement) is also femenine -it goes with la- and yet it doesn’t end in -e, then we also have la fleur (the flower), la fourmi (the ant), la radio (the radio), and many more. 

So, yeah... guessing the gender of a noun in French can be hard.

Now, in regards to the shorter form of the definite article l’, we use it when our noun starts with a vowel or with mute h so that we pronounce the whole thing together. Two straight forward examples are l´emploi (the job) and l’homme (the man)... which ends in -e but is masculine...

Alright, I think that’s enough for this post already... I don’t want to make too long entries.
