Questions & Answers about Pour garder ton indépendance, il vaut mieux avoir le Wi-Fi.

Why does the sentence use ton instead of ta before indépendance, which is a feminine noun?
Even though indépendance is feminine, it starts with a vowel. In French, you must use the masculine possessive adjectives (mon, ton, son) before any feminine singular noun that begins with a vowel or a mute H. This makes pronunciation smoother by avoiding two vowel sounds right next to each other.
Why is there no preposition like de after il vaut mieux?
The impersonal expression il vaut mieux (it is better) is always followed directly by an infinitive, without any preposition. This is a set structure you have to memorize. If you were to use a similar expression like il est préférable, you would instead need to add de before the infinitive: il est préférable d'avoir.
Does pour always mean 'for', or does it have a special meaning here?
When pour is followed by an infinitive verb, as in pour garder, it translates to 'in order to' or simply 'to' when expressing a purpose or intent. It indicates the goal of the action that follows in the main clause.
How do French speakers typically pronounce le Wi-Fi?
Unlike in English, the standard pronunciation in France is 'wee-fee'. It is treated as a masculine noun, which is why it uses the definite article le.
