Thank you, Bel--I must say Merci Mouk also!
Ah, maintenant je comprend! Merci Mouk.
Dear Effen-Elle: as for the
subjunctif, as now a real-life aphasic (no joke), I'm lucky to figure out the subjunctive in
English. Interestingly, during today's speech therapy "conversation" session (with a fabulous, brilliant therapist, a Columbia U. grad student named Mel), I couldn't remember (or say) "Mona Lisa," but I could say "La Jaconde!" Mel said, "So! You may be aphasic in English, but not in French!"
Hah. As
if. Meryl and I had a wonderful breakfast--so cozy. The sad part was later. Oh, well.
Anyway--Je vous aime--tout!
