👂 << je >> vs << j'ai >> ❓
my emoji didn't work, i mean... what's the difference in sound
i.e how does "je" sound different to "j'ai"
@candle "je" has a schwa vowel: "zhuh"; while "j'ai" is with an "ay" or canadian "eh" vowel.
e on its own at the end of a word: uhhhhes at the end of a word: ayyy
"Je l'ai mangé" (I have eaten it) and "je les mangeais" (I was eating them) sound very very very similar.
@mdcclv @candle Not quite, because "l'ai" and "les" have the same difference: "l'ai" is open è, "les" is closed "é". :<
