How do you read it? (2)
Isolano can be read in two ways (and has two/three different meanings):
ìsolano => from the verb isolare (to isolate), 3rd plural person (loro isolano = they isolate (sb))
isolàno = inhabitant of an island (islander), or something relative of an island (insular)
An example of a sentence containings both could be:
Le tempeste isolano l’isolano. = Le tempeste ìsolano l’isolàno. => Storms isolate the islander.
[usually the accents aren’t written: I only used them to show you where to put them while reading/speaking. You only understand the meaning according on the pronunciation or the context - if you only find them written]

Guess the gender
Are feminine:
- -tion nouns (Action, Lactation)
- -o borrowed English words (Vidéo, Radio)
- regular -eur nouns (Chaleur, Fleur) as opposed to 'fancy' existential concepts (Malheur, Honneur)
- -ère, -(t)rice, -euse job titles (Boulangère, Actrice, Coiffeuse)
- -twice the same consonant+e nouns, adjectives, pronouns (Princesse, Feuille, Quelle, Cette, Grosse) - expect Gramme
- most -ée nouns (Mariée, Durée) - except greek words Apogée, Lycée, Scarabée
- many -e nouns (Bouteille, Douche)
- most -oix nouns (Noix, Voix) - except Choix
- disciplines (Littérature, Physique)
- continents (Afrique, Océanie)
- -e countries and regions (Bretagne, Italie)
Are masculine:
- most -consonant nouns (Chien, Matelas)
- -er, -(t)eur job titles (Fermier, Facteur)
- -ail/eil nouns (Orteil, Travail)
- -euil/ueil nouns (Fauteuil, Accueil)
- -asme, -isme nouns (Enthousiasme, Féminisme)

- cardinal points (Ouest, Nord)
- languages (Italien, Polonais)
- days, months, seasons (Hiver, Janvier)
- trees (Chêne, Saule pleureur)
- not -e countries and regions (Maroc, Japon)
Depends:
- -é (Amitié, Résumé) - existential concepts are feminine (Beauté, Charité), simple words seem to often be masculine (Karaté, Été); exceptions: Acné, Clé, Psyché
- -age nouns - masculine if it's added to an existing prefix, feminine if not (Le claquage, Le mirage, La page, La rage)

She’s right though. Soir means night

Shut the fuck up his mom just died

Probably out of embarrassment over him messing up bonsoir
men be like my mom just died time to go on a dating app
I THOUGHT NUIT MEANT NIGHT PLS HELP
i’m having a moment
bonsoir !
nuit does indeed mean night! bonsoir is good evening. it could be night but unless they’re going to bed, you’re still wishing them a good evening. even if it’s midnight, if they aren’t literally going to bed, its bonsoir. if they’re off to bed, it’s bonne nuit !
thank you! does that mean since they were going to bed bonne nuit is also appropriate?
yep!! i'd definitely use that more than bonsoir there

for your “anyone else think in the verbs of one lang w the nouns and occasionally adverbs and adjectives of another” yeah def. sometimes one language lacks the expression of what you’re feeling or trying to mean and sometimes it’s fun

Les pronoms toniques
I pronomi tonici sono: moi; toi; lui; elle; nous; vous; eux; elles.
I pronomi possono essere utilizzati da soli senza un verbo, non come i pronom sujet. Es. Je/tu pars. Qui? Moi/Toi.
Soi è il pronome tonico che corrisponde a "tout le monde".
In generale, dopo una preposizione si usa il pronome tonico. Es. Max travaille avec moi. / Parton sans eux.
Dopo "c'est" si utilizza un pronome tonico. Es. C'est toi?
Con "aussi", "non plus", "pas", "et", "ni" si utilizza un pronome tonico. Es. Je suis fatigué. Et toi? Moi aussi. / Elle n'est pas sympa! Lui non plus. / Jo a faim. Pas moi.
Per rinforzare il soggetto e marcare un contrasto, utilizziamo un pronome tonico. Es. Je suis en forme, et toi? Moi, je suis fatiguée. !! Non dire "moi, je..." per iniziare una conversazione.
ciaooo perché non cominciamo mai con ‘moi, je’? sembra maleducato o semplicemente non è coretto senza il pronome tonico prima?
