Questions & Answers about Joyeux Noël, Madame !
Why does the "e" in Noël have two dots over it?
Why is it Joyeux and not Joyeuse?
Why is there a space before the exclamation mark?
In French punctuation rules, you must put a space before punctuation marks that are made of two parts, like exclamation marks (!), question marks (?), colons (:), and semicolons (;). This is different from English, where the punctuation attaches directly to the last word.
How would I say 'I am going to have a Merry Christmas' using the near future tense from this lesson?
You would say Je vais passer un joyeux Noël. You use the near future construction (aller + infinitive) by conjugating aller to vais and adding the infinitive verb passer (to spend time), followed by the greeting from this sentence!
Should Madame be capitalized here?
