Word order with “prochaine”: before or after noun rules?
@LPH : I meant that this is the most complete / thorough set of rules I found. I guess this formulation is more appropriate, I'll update my answer.

How do you pronounce the name "Augustin-Louis Cauchy"?
Well, I think it's used enough to have an idea of the pronunciation... But you can suggest another word if you want.

Fine, even though I can't hear the difference. I will correct it, but please suggest another word, more ordinary than lin. We are trying to help someone who is not fluent in french, and this word is not common enough.

In this case, you pronounce in from tin exactly like you pronounce the number 1. In general, I agree that it may differ, but here it's absolutely the same sound.

The number "1" is really more popular for people who learn French than the word "lin", they probably have never heard anyone say this word.

What I was saying is that even though the position of the adjective is usually set (prochain is an adjective, not an adverb), there is no strict rule regarding "prochain". I used here the examples of this thread (as I said in my answer), which are the bests I have found so far : forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=170145

I agree, they're the same [o]. And I was really talking about the "co" part of co-op.
