I'm still having some trouble with liaisons. In my audio example the narrator states "Tu
vas où?" like "Tu va où?" instead of "Tu vaz où?" Is this a mistake of the narrator or is question inversion a special case where you don't use liaisons? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey all,
So far I've still only logged about 16 hours of French, but it is mostly a refresher so I am actually learning a lot more than I would have if I had never taken French before. I would say now that I am able to understand some fairly basic paragraphs at this point. For the next week I plan on doubling my study time to go in to my first day of classes of Grad School with 30 hours total of French. Wish me luck! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My understanding is that you can use the liason if you don't pause, but cannot if you do. The phrase could sound like: 'tu / va / ou' or 'tu / vasou' but not 'tu / vas / ou' 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm not sure I've ever heard a French person make a liaison in "tu vas où". I don't know if it's incorrect or if it's just uncommon. Some liaisons are required ("ils ont", "les amis"), some are optional ("je suis allé"), some are forbidden ("et il").

I confirm, there is no liaison in "tu vas où ?".

Nope, no liaison there! ("tu vas où ?")
Here is Canada, there's always a liaison in "Je suis allé" - unless, of course, we say "chu allé", in which case all bets are off. ;) 3 persons have voted this message useful |
