Questions & Answers about Ta fête est super !

Why use "ta" instead of "ton" here?
In French, words for "your" must match the gender of the noun they belong to, not the gender of the person who owns it. Because fête (party) is a feminine word, we use the feminine word ta instead of the masculine ton.
What does the little hat accent on "fête" do?
The circumflex accent changes the pronunciation of the letter e, making it sound like the "e" in the English word "pet". Fun fact: it often shows that an "s" used to follow the vowel in Old French, which is why te is related to the English words "feast" and "festival".
Is "super" always spelled like this, even for feminine words?
Yes! The word super is a special adjective in French. It is invariable, which means its spelling never changes to match gender or number. Even though fête is feminine, super doesn't get an extra "e" at the end.
