Re: Ma Amie
The French word Ma Amie means “My Friend” in english and especially refers to a female friend. The French, not at all like the Portuguese, Italians, and the Spanish, don't prefer to end words with vowels and start the following word with another vowel. It streams better on the off chance that you change things and run them together, which is the reason they make it “mon” for this situation. It's anything but difficult to get used to in talking, however you once in a while need to recollect it when composing. Simply hold up until the point that you get the chance to compose things like the «a-t-il» The significance of maintaining a strategic distance from rests is frequently exaggerated, and I don't believe it's fundamentally useful to consider it a general run the show. In certain particular cases French accomplishes a comment a break (articulate a letter that would some way or another be noiseless - "les hommes" - , change a word into another - "mon idée" - , or include an additional letter - "a-t-il"), however there are innumerable circumstances where a rest exists and it's flawlessly fine and nothing is done to keep away from it, e.g. in "il apprendra à astiquer à Arlon". The possessive pronouns "mama, ta, sa" change to "mon, ton, son" with each female substantive/descriptive word that starts with any vowel. So it is not the redundancy of the vowel "a" that causes that change. A few illustrations: Mon enfance - my adolescence Ton idée - your thought Son œuvre - his/her work (of craftsmanship/writing) |
