Marvel Studios’ Loki Season 2 | Mid-Season Trailer

Ahhhhhhhh!!! So excited!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yall my teacher just explained french accents to me and it's like magic wtf there actually *are* rules and they make so much sense??????

... This is how I learn that there are rules I did not know in my own language.

accent aigu vs accent grave rule as explained by my teacher today:

example word: préférer

let's say i am looking at "preferer" and i don't know where to put the accents or whether they're aigu or grave.

step 1: divide word into syllables

[pre] - [fe] - [rer]

step 2: look at first syllable, which has an e that may or may not have an accent. ask yourself whether the syllable ends in a consonant.

if yes: no accent.

if no, the syllable has an accent. we just don't know whether its aigu or grave yet. in our example, [pre] ends with a vowel, so we know now there is definitely an accent on that e. we are continuing with step 3.

step 3: look at the syllable to the right of your syllable. does that syllable have a mute e, meaning an e that you cannot hear?

if yes: your first syllable has an accent grave.

if no: your first syllable has an accent aigu. in our case, we're looking at [fe], which has an e that you can definitely hear. therefore the syllable [pre] has an accent aigu.

does that always work though? let's check for the next syllable. [fe] ends in a vowel, so it must have an accent. the syllable next to it has no mute e, so it must be an accent aigu. the last syllable is [rer], which ends in a consonant, so it doesn't have an accent.

we end with "préférer", which is 100% correct.

Once more for those in the back.

AC Milan announced that Zlatan will not be returning to the club when his contract expires at the end of the month.

After an image circulated of an LED sign at San Siro with a goodbye message to Z displayed, Milan clarified earlier on Saturday, June 3 that they were running some tests a few days ago at the stadium. They added that "[n]o decisions has been made yet regarding his future, but they had to be prepared for any scenario."

It wasn't until later that a spokesperson announced Z would be honored with a short ceremony after the team's final match of the season against Verona to thank him for his service to the club.

Zlatan hasn't given up on the idea of continuing his playing career elsewhere, with Monza being one of his suitors, but also acknowledged that he needed to find the right balance when it comes to his physical well-being and playing with the least amount of pain as possible.

Unfortunately he won't be able to set foot on the pitch Sunday to get one more match in with the Rossoneri but he will be in his usual seat near the bench.

The game kicks off at 21:00 CET/Noon PST on June 4 - make sure you don't miss a minute of it.

RIP Legend.
