Questions & Answers about Ils habitent dans un village coquet.
Since the lesson is about feminine adjectives ending in -ette, why is it coquet here?
Because village is a masculine noun (un village). The adjective coquet (charming) is therefore in its standard masculine form. If we were talking about a feminine noun, like a house (une maison), you would use the feminine rule from this lesson: double the final consonant and add an 'e' to make it une maison coquette.
Do you pronounce the 't' at the end of coquet?
No, the final 't' in the masculine form coquet is silent (it rhymes with 'café'). However, if you were to use the feminine form coquette, the double 't' followed by an 'e' means the 't' sound is clearly pronounced.
I thought 'coquette' was a word for a flirtatious person. How can a village be coquet?
Why does coquet come after village instead of before it?
