Article[edit]
- some; the singular prevocalic partitive article
- Voudriez-vous de l’ail ? ― Would you like some garlic?
Usage notes[edit]
- While English does have the partitive determiner some, the French article de l’- frequently translates to nothing at all in English; for example, the above example « Voudriez-vous de l’ail ? » could also be translated simply as “Would you like garlic?”
