Damn the voice is so unclear i cant hear it properly

I didn't even hear "une" at first

Bc when 'a' (french for has) follows fille, the "ah" that you may hear them say when pronouncing fille on it's own ("phee-y-ah") gets dropped (to "phee-y") and the 'a' (french for has) gets added to the end if fille's nee sound. Just something i picked up listening + repeating the words/phrases. Same thing happens with any word following fille or femme that has that "ah" sound.

    Or maybe because the weird-ass robotic voice they gave the lesson just makes it hard to hear it. lol

    Maybe they fixed it but I can hear it fine.

    Are colors always placed after the noun?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/veronicaa.13

    Yes. There are other adjectives that are placed before the noun, some after, and some that can be before or after but take different meanings.

    Here are some helpful websites:

    Voice is not at all clear.. Very bad.. Not fit for the learners

    Une is associated with female while un for male. They both mean 'a'


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Nisha979271

    Really Confusing


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/maryammuba3

    Difference between une and un? Do they both mean "a/one"?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/isa_stink

    Une is female, un is male... both do mean a/one

    I typed what I heard in English, the girl has a red dress. Why is this wrong, this is the translation, no?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Rhiannon462491

    When it gives you a sentence in English, it wants you to translate it into French and vice versa.

    When am I ever going to point out that a girl's dress is red?

    Also, do you always put the colour after the noun, because I get so confused in this. In this case, is it optional to say "la file a une rouge robe" or do you have to say "la fille a une robe rouge"? Thanks for the help!


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AL_NM

    You may never need to point that out, they just want to give you easy sentences to work with.

    No, I don't believe that saying 'rouge' before 'robe' is optional in French. You have to have the adjective before the noun. Such as cases like:

    "Je suis une fille calme" "I am a calm girl"

    (Then again, French will be my second language)
