Questions & Answers about Vous envoyez le fichier à mon comptable ?
Why does envoyez keep the 'y' when other forms of this verb change to an 'i'?
Envoyer (to send) is a stem-changing verb. For most present tense forms, the y changes to an i (like j'envoie or il envoie). However, the nous and vous forms are exceptions: they keep the original y from the infinitive. That's why it is vous envoyez.
Is le fichier a physical paper file or a computer file?
Un fichier is typically a computer file, like a PDF or a Word document. If you want to talk about a physical file folder, you will usually use the word un dossier.
There is no 'est-ce que' or reversed verb here. How does this work as a question?
In everyday spoken French, it is very common to ask a question simply by using the normal statement word order (vous envoyez...) and raising the pitch of your voice at the end. While Est-ce que vous envoyez... or Envoyez-vous... are also correct, this sentence represents the most natural, casual way to ask.
