Hmm...can't say as I've ever heard of that before! I wonder if NFWE explains it some other way? Either way, I just learned something, too. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

(Whoops, corrected a typo) But yeah, it's a pretty solid way to remember. I just looked it up and it seems like there are exceptions, but that's practically a given in French. The link below explains it pretty succinctly: Adjectives Before the Noun 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

So it's precisely those 15, and none others, it appears? Odd, but certainly a small-scale
project to learn. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ahahahaha I laughed remembering the diamond-eating rabbit story! =P Indeed, Assimil French is very funny! Russian as well, maybe even more. Dutch was quite funny as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

geoffw - Seems so! Odd indeed. Still a useful mnemonic, I think.
fabriciocarraro - Yes, for some reason that one really stuck! You guys are all having such a great time with your Russian, makes me want to learn it. :-) Edited by Hekje on 28 January 2014 at 10:37pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Naar Montréal ben ik tenminste vijf keer gereisd--sinds de jaren 90 tot maar 2012. Het
helpt mij dat ik heel veel woonde in Canada familielidden heb. Het is meer dan klaar dat mijn favoriete seizoen en jaartijd waar ik graag in reizen 's winters is. Als men mij het vraagde, ik heb zeker 40 tot 50 familielidden dat daar in Canada wonen. Ik woon liever in een stad waar de temperatuur tussen -40 tot -15 's winters in staat, maar uit het nieuws dat waar ik naar kijk, het lijkt me dat de temperatuur in New York is iet warm. -3 graden, -5, 0 gemiddeld elke dag 's winters is niets koud. Ook houd ik van Ottawa, Toronto, enz., waar de temperatuur iet warmer in staat, maar nog is het wat kouder dan New York. En ook meer sneeuw. Ben jij zelf daar naar het noorden gereisd? Ik denk dat daarnaar misschien wat kort gaan rijden is, tenminste waar woon jij van. Eigenlijk ben ik nooit in New York of de oosten van de VS, maar de oostkust van Canada. Maar ik kent de temperaturen van die regio. Edited by 1e4e6 on 28 January 2014 at 11:31pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It is true very few adjectives are concerned. By the way be careful with "beau" et "vieux" which turn into "bel" and "vieil" before masculine nouns starting with a vowel sound: - un vieil homme ( the h is mute) - un bel immeuble The place where you put the adjective "vieux" can have an incidence on the meaning of the sentence: - du vin vieux = good wine which was aged in barrels - du vieux vin = old wine from a bottle opened a long time before 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

1e4e6 - Het kan dat New York normaal iets warmer is, maar deze winter is het niet zo
geweest. Ongeveer -12 graden. Dit is mijn eerste winter in New York en daar heb ik geen gevoel voor, ik ben er echt niet blij mee! Wat vind je het leukste als het dan zo koud is? Want het is zeker niet leuk om buiten te zijn. :-) Afgelopen maand ben ik voor de eerste keer naar Montréal geweest. Ik vond het héérlijk zeg - zo'n mooi stadje, met veel vriendelijke mensen en lekker eten. Het was ook veel meer francophone dan ik had verwacht. Ik ben nog nooit naar Toronto of Ottawa geweest, maar ik heb een vriendin die in Toronto woont, dus... op een dag zal ik bij haar op bezoek gaan. Ben je dan ooit naar de VS geweest? Small life update: I've been waiting to hear about a particular grant, and yesterday I heard it didn't come through. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed. Still, there are a few other opportunities coming up this year. I'll focus on them and keep my chin up. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
