The Mbappé rule.
At this point, you may have noticed that nasal vowels are written with either an n or
an m. In fact, it's not random at all.
There is a rule to follow.
So when should we write n and when should we write M.
If you know the famous soccer player Kilian Mbappé, you will love this tip.
We write M in front of the letters M, B, P, m, bp, Mbappé, i.e.
we write N in front of all the other consonants.
But of course, there are exceptions for the names bonbon, bonhomme, bonbonnière,
embonpoint, mainmise, main morte.
There is also the adverb néanmoins, the adjective nonpareil and the ending of the
conjugated verb înmes.
Now it's up to you.
Look at the following words and tell me if it should be written with an m or with an m.
Let's go!
Yes, it's world.
With an m the nasal vowel is written with an n.
Because here it is followed by the letter d and not by the letters M, b, p or you
remember Mbappe.
The next word.
N. Or Mr.
Yes, M.
Rampe, rampe.
Here the nasal vowel.
It is written with an m because it is followed by the letter p, m bp.
Always keep in mind our dearest Kilian Mbappé, the next n or m.
Here, it's a N .
And yes, this is an exception of the French language.
The nasal vowel On is written with an n even if it is followed by the letter B.
Let's go on.
Yes, a M.
tempête.
It is an m, because before the consonant p the nasal vowel is written with an m.
We continue, we continue, we are well on our way.
This word is written with an n or with an m.
Yes, this word is written with n linge, linge.
The nasal vowel un is written with an n because it is followed by the
consonant g and not the consonants m, bp .
This word M.
Or N.
Yes N.
Néanmoins, again, this is an exception in the French language, even if the nasal
vowel is followed by the letter M, it will be written with N.
Néanmoins, and last.
Yes, a M.
Framboise framboise.
Here, the nasal vowel AM is written with an m because it is followed by the consonant b.
The soccer/football break is now over.
