If you missed the video with de differences between ENTENDRE and Écouter, it's right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqLbl2eefcRneLM Thank you for watching ❤️

[@alyssabertie8670]

Saber (Spanish word for "to know") is similar to Savoir. Conocer (also means "to know") and is similar to Connatîre! Im glad I was taught Spanish before because it has helped alot with French, so similar!! Thank you for the amazing content!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Many people told me this, when I will have more time I will learn Spanish :)

Great video! There are also verbs in German that are used in the same way - wissen and kennen, there is only a slight difference that wissen (= savoir) is not followed by an infinitive

It's going to be easy for you then :)

First of all thank you for these videos! I have a question, when do we use the auxiliary verb être with the verb connaître in the passé composé? I searched through but I couldn't find anything...

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

good question :) It's very similar to English actually - To be known = Être connu / Avoir connu = To have known Let me know it you have more questions :)

[@zulal8581]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Merci beaucoup! ☺🤍

[@paultownsend4347]

One interesting/unique thing about Saber and Conocer in Spanish is that when speaking Spanish and using Conocer to talk about knowing a person , you must add a "personal a" before the name of the person. This concept is actually quite simple in Spanish; however, when I'm speaking in French about knowing a person, my mind wants to add an "à" after connaitre. "Est-ce que tu connais (à) Julien?" which is obviously incorrect. Just another quirk between languages :)

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Paul that's funny that you say that because where I am from we tend to say "LA / LE" before a name. Est-ce que tu as vu LA Dylane? But in "good" French, no it's better to add nothing ;)

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

C'est la même utilisation ;)

[@food4all319]

Hi Dylane , thanks for the lovely video . Do you know why this sentence is using savoir rather than connaitre : "Est-ce que tu sais pourquoi il est absent" ?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Simply because we always say “Savoir pourquoi” but we say “connaître la raisons”. Je ne sais pas pourquoi il est absent, peut-être que Paul connaît la raison”. does it make more sense?

[@food4all319]

So in French savoir and pourquoi are paired together. Is it possible to say “ tu connais pourquoi il est absent « ?

[@anwalt693]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane No, it makes no sense at all, because it is neither an answer the student can benefit from nor an analysis. It may be that Francophones "always say" one thing or another, but that type of response illuminates nothing for the foreign speaker. French learners need to know WHY the Francophones aways says one thing, and not the other. There a reliable pattern to WHY Francophones use savoir sometimes and connaître other times, but you did not even mention it: SImply put, whether to use savoir or connaître depends upon what follows. If the next word will be a verb, then savoir is used, and that verb following savoir will be in the infinitive. Thus, savoir + verb will mean "to know how to," as in, "Il sait comment contester les réponses inadéquates." Savoir is also invariably used if the words that follow are question words, such as où, pourquoi, qui, avec qui, quand, quel, etc.. "Sais tu où c'est ?" "Est-ce qu'elle sait comment les francophones choisissent entre savoir et connaître ?" So, we may conclude that savoir is triggered by following verbs and following question words. Is there also something that triggers connaître? There is, of course. Connaître is used if the words that follow are nouns or a noun phrase. "Tu connais ta leçon ?" Notice that the information in the lesson may consist entirely of facts, and may be something with which the élève / étudiant has no personal experience. Despite the exclusive presence of facts and the total lack of personal knowledge, the verb used is connaître because "ta leçon" is a noun. Thus, the "rule" about whether to use connaître or savoir based upon personal experience with something versus knowing it as a fact, regularly fails. As an illustration, imagine a teacher who seeks exactly one piece of information. She poses her question, and then rephrases it: Tu connais la meilleure réponse ? Tu sais quelle est la meilleure réponse ? In her first question the teacher uses connaître because she poses the question with the verb followed by a noun. In the second question she choses savoir because that verb is followed by a question word. It is precisely for these same reasons that the answers could use connaître and savoir: "Oui, je connais la bonne réponse. Je sais pourquoi c'est comme ça." Notice that it makes no difference if her élève / étudiant learned the matter in question as a fact in school or via personal experience. Both the question and any answer will use savoir and connaître on the basis of what words follow and wholly independently of how the person came to know it.

Hi Prof. Question for you. This lesson is great, by the way. But I was listening to a French tv show, French native speakers. One person says to the other that a person lives here. The other one replies, "Je sais". Why would that be 'je sais' instead of 'je connais'? Thanks!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Good question! When just answering I know, it's always going to be Je sais. Je connais is always followed by a direct object. Je connais la réponse :)

[@kyogirikon]

It is "saber vs conocer" in Spanish. The pronunciation of Spanish words is not as hard as English. You would probably nail it.

Is Savoir always used as sais or it can be used as it is sometimes?

Ian I am not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean if we use "savoir" without conjugation ?

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane oui, that's what i meant

The perfect French with Dylane Because I have seen savoir faire that’s why I’m asking about this

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

I see where you are getting confused. Le savoir-faire is a noun, it means the know-how / the expertise Son savoir faire est incroyable = His expertise is incredible Does it make more sense ?

[@ianfeng5666]

​@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane je pense je compris, alors, most of the time you use sais because usually we use "know" as a verb mai parfois, you use it as a noun and it is savoir-faire but it is not that common in everyday life correct? merci pour votre explication
