Hi, CR. I had to look back a bit to find you. I'm under the impression you speak French, and I have a question for a French speaker who is more confident than I am, with my rusty school French.
Someone has asked me this:
If one wanted to write a casual note in French, telling someone where and when to meet one (noon Wednesday, the fifteenth of August), would one write
~~midi mercredi, le quinzième août [the reason the circonflex and accent grave are there is that I pasted it from the online translator; but shouldn't August be capitalized? It's not, there.]
~midi Mercredi, quinzième Août ? (d'août?)
~midi Mercredi, le quinzième d'Août ? (d'août?) (the d' looks wrong to me.)
Or what?
(Using the numeral, 15, instead of the word fifteen, how do you make it '15th' in French? I forget.)
Also: If you want to say "Fini," to somebody, as in, "That's enough," or "It's over," I'd think you'd use "fini," and not "finis," (the second being, I think, either Latin or the plural adjective.)
What do you think?
Any other French speakers out there? I'll try the Grammar thread if everyone here is as insecure as I am. |
