💡

Cultural Note

Unlike 'est' (is), 'et' (and) never makes a liaison with the following word. This pronunciation difference is crucial: 'il est ici' has a liaison /il.ɛ.t‿isi/, but 'lui et elle' has none /lɥi.e.ɛl/.

📝 Example Sentences

Toi et moi.

You and me.

Il est grand et fort.

He is tall and strong.
