Document Summary
The il meaning it is taken out when talking. Il(s) and elle(s) are shorted to y and e . Ex: il vient ce soir y vient ce soir. Somtimes ils elles and vous gets turned into z- as the shortcut. Eliminate the first part (ne/ n") of negative expression. Ex: elle ne veut pas venir e veut pas venir. Eliminate the u in tu when followed by a word starting with a vowel. When ne is dropped the saying sounds slurred. Unit 11 eliminate every other one in a series or any single one in a syllable following another vowel: Il devait te le demander merge te and le to sound like tle . / r / and / l / are often dropped at the end of a word, before the accent. La table sounds like la tab . The liaison (see unit 03) is often omitted, except in the cases of short.
