Apr 18	comment	How to understand “Je m'en vais.”? In italian we have the opposite: "ne". Je m'en vais = Me ne vado. :D
Apr 1	comment	How many times the letter 'f' is used in French, in order to suppress it? Tu as écris "ephephet", mais peut-être tu voulais dire "ephphet". :D
Apr 1	comment	How is the 'root' of the verbs referred to? @Phil I voted to close your question, but I didn't understand you were looking for specific terminology. Maybe you could edit your question and be more clear about that?
Feb 6	comment	Féminin des mots en -eur @M'vy Mea* culpa. :P
Jan 30	comment	0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ? I'm aware it's not normally used for objects. I think that's something out of discussion and you can assume I know things like this. But let's say I still want to use it in some cases, like when reporting data... For example: due to a lack of founding, we can't buy anymore planes, and actually we have a decrease. So, in a table summarizing that data, I want to write "-45 airplanes". Not everyday usage, I'd choose other expressions, but legit.
Jan 30	comment	0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ? First you state it makes no sense, and then you talk about "-2,5 degrees" and "-4 votes"... that sounds like a contradiction. You can face situations where you talk about "-X of something", apparently.
Jan 30	comment	0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ? Et à propos des nombres decimaux comme -4,56 / 0,2 / 1,24 ?
Jan 30	comment	0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ? @Evpok Argh! Right... decimaux! :D Anyway, good, I thought it would be interesting to see the French situation. :)
Jan 30	comment	0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ? @CédricJulien Is this a dupe of a dupe?
Jan 24	comment	« Liste de stationnement » ou « liste parking » ? Could you include some detail? For example, what is a "Parkplatzliste", where do you see the word?
Jan 20	comment	Quand doit-on prononcer ou ne pas prononcer la dernière lettre d'un mot ? @Evpok: Merci! J'ai ajouté « et » à l'autre exemple aussi. :)
Jan 19	comment	Quand doit-on prononcer ou ne pas prononcer la dernière lettre d'un mot ? :) De rien! :) "deposito" veut dire quelque chose come "magasin", donc si tu écris "DePoSiTo", tu sais quelles sont les consonants, et "XZG" peut être le nom de ce magasin. :)
Jan 12	comment	Quelle est la différence entre «car» et «parce que» ? Aah, très bien! :) Merci beaucoup.
Jan 11	comment	Quelle est la différence entre «car» et «parce que» ? Tu as dit: « "Parce que" peut-être utiliser en début de phrase » et « "car" […] ne peut pas commencer une phrase », mais tes exemples sont les mêmes... Donc ou est-elle la différence ?
Dec 28	comment	Difference between the verbs “amener” and “emmener”, and also “emporter” and “apporter”? @Paolo De rien! :)
Dec 13	comment	What's the meaning of: le coup de sang @Jez I see... Mine was just an observation. If it's on topic, no problem for me! :)
Dec 13	comment	What's the meaning of: le coup de sang The FAQ is not ready yet, but on the French Language & Usage Meta there is a discussion about its content. This is a simple translation question and it seems it's not accepted. Maybe if you provide your translation efforts, it can have a bigger chance to stay open.
Oct 11	comment	Poils et cheveux Je n'ai pas dit que ta question es idiote (N.B. je ne veux pas faire cette discussion personelle), mais qu'elle n'est pas sur le Français. Tu as demandé "Pourquoi certaines langues ne font-elles pas la distinction entre les poils et les cheveux?", le Français fait cette distinction, donc ta question n'est pas "on topic". Je suis le seul qui a voté, donc si les autres ne seront pas d'accord, ta question restera ouverte.
Oct 11	comment	Poils et cheveux Salut Knu. Désolé, j'ai voté pour fermer ta question comme "off topic", parce que tu n'as pas demandé sur le Français, mais sur les autres langues.
Sep 5	comment	Peut-on utiliser « ce » dans cette phrase ? Ah, parfait. Donc, "celui/ceux", "celle/celles", "ce/cet/cette/ces"... :) très bien.
