si + il[edit]

What about "si" + "il"? I think "s'il" is at least optional (I'm not an expert) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.3.95.145 (talk) 20:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not optional, but obligatory. I'll add it in. 24.202.31.204 (talk) 08:23, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

stage diction and mute "e"[edit]

This article addresses au courant usage, but not formal diction for song and stage. In songs, mute e is normally given a note to be sung on, unless a vowel following it causes elision, as in "la vie est belle": [la vi ɛ bɛlə] Not R (talk) 18:55, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Versification[edit]

French phonology#Schwa:

In French versification, word-final schwa is always elided before another vowel and at the ends of verses. It is pronounced before a following consonant-initial word.[43] For example, une grande femme fut ici, [yn ɡʁɑ̃d fam fy.t‿i.si] in ordinary speech, would in verse be pronounced [y.nə ɡʁɑ̃.də fa.mə fy.t‿i.si], with the /ə/ enunciated at the end of each word.

Shouldn't it be added here? --Error (talk) 19:31, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
