"You will receive letters from the people who love you."

Translation: Tu recevras des lettres des gens qui t'aiment.

[Michael284133]

whats wrong with vous recevrez des letters des gens qui t'adorent

[Jojo553168]

You are mixing tu and vous in the same sentence. And adorer is not really correct here.

[Michael747768]

Why isn't adorer correct? I thought it meant 'To Love'?

[Michael284133]

Thanks. Stupid me!

[HelenBeck2]

why can't you use vous instead of tu

[Denise407335]

You can, but the sentence needs to be amended to read "vous recevrez des lettres des gens qui VOUS aiment". This was accepted for me today

[chriswalli8]

If I want to say ' ...from people you love', Is that 'des gens que t'aimes' ?so the only distinction in spoken form would be que rather than qui? Or is it still 'qui'?

[GraemeSarg]

You cannot elide "tu". So it would be "de personnes que tu aimes.".

[WesleyWrig15]

I guess 'from the people' translates to 'des gens' and not 'de les gens'. Is that some kind of rule?

[LeDucThi]

"de les" always is contracted to "des":

[CoyoteV]

In English, Spanish and German
"from people who love you" (some/any people who love you)
it's NOT the same as
"from the people who love you" (specifically those who love you)

So my question:
Is it mandatory to contract "des les" in French to "des" so that this difference gets lost?

[Christina-10]

Why not "des personnes" instead of "des gens"

[GraemeSarg]

Because within the context of this skill, interviewing celebrities, it is talking about fan-mail, so on a larger scale than "des personnes".
