Merci beaucoup Madame! This is the first video and the best clarification of this lesson of Article partitif… Thanks to you I can think of doing my A1 exam now…❤
Alicia You are a great teacher, don't stop what you are doing, I actually am not learning french, but German and I found your channel through German with jenny! I definitely see though that you are a very good teacher and very reassuring in stressing that people need not focus on Grammer, but use it and practice with it non stop!
I have registered on Lingoni website and listen to the lessons everyday. I have been confused and having this de, du, questions for 31 lessons! Finally i get the answers on Lesson 32! Very helpful lesson! Merci beaucoup Alicia!
Thank you so much for this video and effort you put in it! The explaination was very good! I was confused about these articles before but now I understand everything. That's a video I was looking for!
Thanks for these great videos, I really appreciate your teaching skills. I got "de la, de l' and du" but what if we use a plural noun. Is there a different l'article partitif? 😌
Hellooo! EXCELLENT question here :), very relevant. Here is the best answer I found haha : Quand il est en début de mot, le Y n'admet généralement ni élision ni liaison : “le yachting”, “les yaourts” , le yoga» (et non « l'yachting » ou « les z'yaourts, ou l'yoga »). Does that make sense to you?
To me this vid is useful and this vid rly helped me at school cuz I had a test and I didn't know wat to do then I found this vid and it rly rly helped me and I got rly high marks merci
Thank you for such a wonderful video . This might sound stupid but article partifi is used in front of a noun that is uncounted . What is uncounted noun in french ? ?
It's never stupid! thanks for your question, We consider that a noun is Non-comptable when it is something like FLOUR, SAND, WATER for example... you can say a glass of wáter or two bottles of water but not three waters, or four sands, but four grains od sands would work… also when you speak about concepts such as LOVE, HATE, you can quantify these feelings /concepts but you cannot really count them. I have a lot of love for you is fine, but I have 5 loves for you is not something you would say. Same in French. Hope that helped a bit!
Excellent video! In fact, I shared it with my French I students to help them learn. One small thing I noticed though is I think the teacher means "vowels" when she says "vocals." Unless there is a linguistic term I'm not aware of :)
Bonjour Kelly and many thanks for your kind comment and for the little remark on “vocals, vowels”. You are absolutely right and I corrected this in the future videos at some point :D haha, thanks to a student comment like yours ! He nailed it telling me I was getting mixed with the Spanish term “vocal/vocales” but that in English it did not work at all ! much closer to the French pronunciation actually Vowel/ “voyelle” ! Thanks again for this useful comment and happy you liked the content anyways :) cheers and take care
The certified course in French will deliver a certificate called DELF at the end of the course. It is the official qualification for French learners recognized worldwide. It exists for all level from beginners to bilingual (A1 to C2). It is possible to prepare these exams online or in class through a course. Our app lingoni.com would also deliver a certificate at the end of each level, it is just not an official diploma. Hope I could help you a bit.
Bonjour. A very helpful lesson. Merci. I have a question. 1. Il écoute de la musique quand il a les temps. Translation:- He listens to music when he has the time. Could you please tell me if this formation is also correct?
There is no strict rule really... That's the tough part of it :D! Throughout time and practice, you get to remember that table is feminine, while telephone is masculine, and so on...
Hi Alice, I have some questions: 1- what is the difference means de la and la. When you use only la or together with de, so when de la 2- I think I notice that du or vu before noun, or sometimes mon. When you choice du or vu or moon 3- how I decide to use mascular or feminene 4- is it possible to share text version of your course note that you use during your course. if it is possible to share with me via email, that would be great for my learning. My aim is just learn better Thanks in advance best demet
I was surprised to see that the sentence wasn't "Je bois un peu de cafe EN le matin......."in the morning." I am, however, quickly realizing I can't structure French according to English in my head.
"DU" is used before a masculine noun: C’est le chien du voisin. If the noun is feminine, we put "DE LA" : C’est le chien de la voisine. If the noun is in the plural, we put “DES” : C’est le chien des voisins. And when the name starts with a vowel, "DU" becomes "DE L'". C’est le chien de l’homme en rouge.
hello and thanks for your question, d'argent would work if there is a quantifier before or if you talk in negative form: un peu d'argent beucoup d'argent trop d'argent je n'ai pas d'argent. hope that helped!
Hi Vadim, we say "du yoga" instead of "de le yoga" or "de l'yoga" because it's an "article partitif" like "du café" or "du lait" for example. "du" is a partial article because it can be replaced by "un peu de". For example: - Je bois du café. (Je bois un peu de café ==> article partitif.) - Je suis revenu du voyage. (Je suis revenu "de le" voyage ==> article défini contracté.)
Alicia, I've got a question: why should I say "Est-ce qu'elles boivent du vin" instead of "Est-ce qu'elles boivent de vin" as in "est-ce que tu manges toujours de sucre" my french book is driving me crazy hahahaha
Hi there! Again and as always an excellent remark. I decided to focus on the use of partitive articles with uncountable nouns, so by definition the one that can't accept a plural form. But actually, DES can be both an article indéfini or an article partitif, but also an article défini contracté (de+les) and derserves indeed a full lesson for itself, to avoid confusion and differenciate them properly. I should publish it soon! ;)
It's like saying: She has (some) patience. I drink (some) beer. I have (some) money. You have (some) motivation. etc. With some usually omitted in English.

Thanks most helpful but I definitely need more practice with this. Can anyone tell me why it’s je n'ai pas de carte and not une carte?
Heya! Because it's the negative form of the verb avoir. So it's always "de", no more un, une, de la, du etc. For once, we're making things easier. ;)
@@lingoniFRENCH ah, right. I think I learned that but am still trying to get it locked in my brain. Thanks so much for the response. Love your videos!
Time is a HE! I learned that in the movie of Alice through the looking glass!!🤭❤
I have a question, why do we say "la page DU livre" and not "de"?
Alicia;) i have a question,do we write'je n'ai pas une voiture'or "je n'ai pas de voiture"? And thanks;)
de = des, un, une quand ta phrase est négative.
So it would be : je n'ai pas de voiture.
Alicia “Maupassant est un de mes auteurs préférés.” is this a correct sentence and why do we use “de” here if it is? Thank you for all the help.
Hello! It is correct, and you use "de" to translate the "of" :he is one OF my favorite autor: un DE mes auteurs préférés.
hope that helped.
lingoni FRENCH Oh, okay got it now thanks Alicia.

c'est bien!
Bonjour Madame Alicia,
What partative article do we use for masculine or feminine plural? Like:
Je mange ___ oeufs.
Do reply, s'il vous plaît.😊
Merci.
You would say: je mange des oeufs. article indefini pluriel de "un, une".
@@lingoniFRENCH Merci Madame😘
Hello is "de la " = "do" in English ??? x
No
nice
How can I know the gender of the noun
There is no strict rule really... That's the tough part of it :D!
Throughout time and practice, you get to remember that table is feminine, while telephone is masculine, and so on...
Très très bien merci
Hi Alice, I have some questions: 1- what is the difference means de la and la. When you use only la or together with de, so when de la
2- I think I notice that du or vu before noun, or sometimes mon. When you choice du or vu or moon

Thanks in advance best demet
I was surprised to see that the sentence wasn't "Je bois un peu de cafe EN le matin......."in the morning." I am, however, quickly realizing I can't structure French according to English in my head.
That's right! Literal translation won't help in so many cases I'm afraid! :D
@@lingoniFRENCH Merci 🙏
"DU" is used before a masculine noun:
C’est le chien du voisin.
If the noun is feminine, we put "DE LA" :
C’est le chien de la voisine.
If the noun is in the plural, we put “DES” :
C’est le chien des voisins.
And when the name starts with a vowel, "DU" becomes "DE L'".
C’est le chien de l’homme en rouge.
You should remove the le/la when you specify the quantity right? for example elle a beaucoup d'argent instead of elle a beaucoup de l'argent
Hi, that's right!
I thought it was “d’argent”. Is that a correct way somewhere?
hello and thanks for your question,
d'argent would work if there is a quantifier before or if you talk in negative form:
un peu d'argent
beucoup d'argent
trop d'argent
je n'ai pas d'argent.
hope that helped!
lingoni FRENCH thank you. I’ll try to remember that.
so when you say "au début du film" its because "le film" is something that cant be counted? or is this a whole new topic? madam?
Hi! Why do you say "du yoga", if "yoga" is masculine and starts with vowel? Why don't you say "de l'yoga"?
Hi Vadim, we say "du yoga" instead of "de le yoga" or "de l'yoga" because it's an "article partitif" like "du café" or "du lait" for example.
"du" is a partial article because it can be replaced by "un peu de".
For example:
- Je bois du café. (Je bois un peu de café ==> article partitif.)
- Je suis revenu du voyage. (Je suis revenu "de le" voyage ==> article défini contracté.)
Alicia, I've got a question:
why should I say "Est-ce qu'elles boivent du vin" instead of "Est-ce qu'elles boivent de vin" as in "est-ce que tu manges toujours de sucre"
my french book is driving me crazy hahahaha
Bonjour, in both sentence you would use the article partitif in singular, masculine form : du, du sucre, et du vin.
@@lingoniFRENCH merci!
حلوو شرحك
You didn't talk about use of 'des'. Did you miss it out, or is it covered under a different class.
Hi there!
Again and as always an excellent remark.
I decided to focus on the use of partitive articles with uncountable nouns, so by definition the one that can't accept a plural form.
But actually,
DES can be both an article indéfini or an article partitif, but also an article défini contracté (de+les) and derserves indeed a full lesson for itself, to avoid confusion and differenciate them properly. I should publish it soon! ;)
✔
Merci! Au moins vous ne dites pas comme le reste de ces vidéos que DES est un article partitif!!! Pourquoi on le dit partout? Merci
Why not: il a dU(without dE) l'argent
Couldn't I just say "je bois l'eau" without the de
Hi Study,
No, it's not correct.
When you say de l'eau. Why don't you say "de le café?"
Because café is masculine.
@@lingoniFRENCH my question was to gather de and le. Once you are using only de cafe. Another time with de l'eau?
I can't get used to articles in English, but in Francais they are more harmonious😁
It's like saying: She has (some) patience. I drink (some) beer. I have (some) money. You have (some) motivation. etc. With some usually omitted in English.
indeed!
Disagree. If you add some changes the meaning of the phrase.
@@realmocaccino not really
Why do you say "le matin" and not "dans le matin" like you did with "dans le frigo"?
Hi, you can either say "le matin" or "dans la matinée" but "dans le matin" is not correct !
Ahh, I see... Thank you very much. You have an amazing channel!!!
Isn’t it “Je bois d’eau” and not “Je bois de l’eau”?
No because water in feminine and uncountable. So you say de l'eau, et je bois de l'eau, je voudrais de l'eau etc...
