Je suis confus.
Salut tout le monde,
Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'expliquer que pourquoi on dit, <> pour "I miss you"???
Pourquoi pas <> ? (nb: something is missing between the brackets !)
Et aussi,
Pourquoi << mon amie>> et pas << ma amie>> ???
I miss you is translated as: Tu me manques (which would roughly be translated litterally as you are missed by me (sort of): that's just the way it is in french, there isn't always a rational explanation, that is why it is not advised to translate litterally, word for word)
Ma amie becomes MON amie because the 1st letter of amie is a vowel which would make the pronunciation ma amie a little weird, so, even it is feminine, in this case you will use MON.
eg Mon amie, mon orange, mon actrice, etc....
Je suis confus.

***************************
tu me manques, means something like "I lack of your presence , I don't have you and then I suffer from this"
we use it to say we miss someone, I hope my explanation has made it clear to you !:p
I know this can trouble your brain !
ma amie : we use the male form of a possessive pronoun with feminine words begining with a vowel to ease the pronounciation
so saying : "mon amie" is easier !
we also use that rule with a femine word starting with a mute h,
example: une horloge
mon horloge est en panne = my clock is out of order
Je suis confus.
