Bonjour Alexa I'm watching Inhuman Resources on Netflix with Éric Cantona (haha I did not know he became an actor!) and I thought about this lesson I just watched a few days ago. The protagonist's wife says, according to the subtitles: - J'habiterai plus ici. Je supporte plus. She didn't even use any negation but since she did not pronounce "S" I understood she did not want to stay. But when it's written only, it can be confusing :)
Thank you Alexa. That was very helpful. Regards from Canada ❤❤

@@uff3f in Cajun French or Louisiana French, we blend it together or drop words altogether. In Creole French or Louisiana Creole, dropping words and sometimes blending them is the rule. I would assume in Standard French, a clear speaker would separate.

@@uff3f it’s both and depends where you are. There’s lots of administrative areas in France. In standard French they do not drop it. In regional French, in France, they may.
So can you think of Personne as always being Somebody and the rest of the sentence determines whether it is “somebody” or “not somebody’ which is therefore nobody?
Parfait , Alexa!!
Il y a une estudiante tres heureuse avec la leçon!
Thanks so much! I want to ask, with the example of ‘Tu veux encore un croissant?’ can you replace encore in that sentence with ‘un autre’? Or will ‘encore’ mostly be used in cases like that?

Merci Alexa ! Mais, j'ai encore un petite problème - How do I ask someone to repeat what they just said? Is there a single word like _"Encore, s'il vous plait"_ that could be used? I doubt that is it since using that always gets people confused.
Bonjour Alexa, great video ... but question on the use of 'de' and 'du' with 'plus' & 'encore', SVP. why do you say 'Je veux plus DE cafe' but on other sidewe say 'Je veux encore DU cafe'.... thank you

DU (or DE LA) mean SOME in english Je veux plus DE café = I want more coffee Je veux encore DU cafe = I still want SOME coffee

Yes absolutely. :) And "Tu veux un autre croissant" can be translated in the same way than in english "Tu veux un autre croissant ? Puisque celui-ci n'est pas bon." "Do you want another croissant ? As this on is not good ?"

In the context demonstrated, personne means "body." So there is either a (some random) body in the house, or there is no body in the house.
Why there is no liaison between veux and encore, ? (ie, why the letter x in veux is not pronounced, even after the next letter starts with a vowel e)
