Questions & Answers about Elle n'aime pas le poisson, et moi non plus.
Why is it le poisson instead of just poisson if the English translation is "fish"?
In French, when you talk about liking, loving, or hating a general category of things, you must use a definite article (le, la, or les). To say "she doesn't like fish" in general, you say elle n'aime pas le poisson (literally "she does not like the fish").
Why is it n'aime instead of ne aime?
The negative word ne drops its e and gets an apostrophe when the next word starts with a vowel or a silent h. Since aime starts with an a, ne aime merges into n'aime to make pronunciation smoother.
Why use moi here instead of je?
