Questions & Answers about Félicitations pour ton travail !
Why does the French sentence use pour when the English translation says "on"?
In English, we congratulate someone on an achievement, but in French, you congratulate someone for it. The word pour literally translates to "for". Is Félicitations always plural?
Yes! Just like we say "congratulations" with an "s" in English, the French word félicitations is used in the plural for this kind of greeting. Keep in mind that the s at the very end is silent. How do I know whether to use ton, ta, or tes for "your" here?
You choose the word for "your" based on the gender and number of the noun that comes immediately after it. Since travail (work) is a masculine, singular noun, you must use the masculine singular form, ton. How do you pronounce the end of the word travail?
The -ail ending in French makes a sound similar to the English word "eye" or "ahy". The "l" is not pronounced as a hard consonant, but rather blends into a soft "y" sound. Learn Félicitations pour ton travail and more in French
