Learn French: Les joueurs aiment la nature magnifique et les nouveaux jeux. - The players like magnificent nature and new games.

In French, nouns and adjectives that end in -eau (like the singular nouveau) or -eu (like the singular jeu) take an -x to become plural instead of the usual -s.

Are the -x endings on nouveaux and jeux pronounced?

No, they are completely silent. You pronounce nouveaux jeux exactly the same way you would pronounce the singular nouveau jeu. When listening, you only know it is plural because of the word les coming before them.

Why is magnifique placed after nature, but nouveaux is placed before jeux?

Most French adjectives go after the noun, like magnifique. However, a small group of common adjectives describing Beauty, Age, Goodness, or Size (often remembered by the acronym BAGS) go before the noun. Because nouveaux describes age or newness, it is placed in front of the noun.

How do I pronounce the verb aiment?

You pronounce it exactly like the singular form aime. The -ent ending on the plural 'they' form of regular -er verbs is always completely silent.

Why does the sentence use and for nature and games, rather than or (some)?
