why is that sentence "Je mange DU poisson"? why it's not " Je mange le poisson"? isn't that du=de+le? why we say " Je mange de le poisson" not "Je mange de poisson"?

[jefrench10]

@wangtianxing1010 Je mange le poisson means I eat the fish... je mange du poisson is I eat some fish or I eat fish.

I have a question.:) If two vowels dont sound right to the the french, why are there two vowels on tu aimes or on elle aime? Please reply I know grammar is very important. And also is it possible to speak this language fluenty even though no one in my family speaks it (only understand it and im the only one who doesnt). I hear everything around you has to be french and I live here in the USA and no one I know speaks french. So I can only learn from lessons like yours...

@TahtahCutie52 In the case of the ai of tu aimes, the 2 vowels together make a different sound than the regular french a or i on their own. They are merged together to form a new sound. It 's different than 2 separate words, one ending with a vowel sound and the other starting with a vowel sound. In that case each vowel sound has to be pronounced separately. This forces us to make a pause between the 2. This is why the e of je disappears in J'aime so that we only have one vowel sound left

vous is also the one you would use if you don't know the person very well or are showing respect correct?

[jefrench10]

@xclaimer365 Correct!
