woolybanana Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 She is here daily when her busy life permits though like me she is a bit frustrated by the low quality of the debate at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Well mint is here far more frequently than I am at the moment.Pity the board has been so slow recently. Lurkers, please post[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just specially for you, Eric[:)]Is dorénavant completely changeable with désormais? Or are there occasions when one is more appropriate than the other? For example, is one used more often in conversation than in writing?à toi, Eric!

ericd Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Sorry, hadn't returned to this thread since knowing all was well with mint ....Alors ....... p'tete ben oui , p'tete ben non (as they say in Normandie) .....Without having pondered on it much, I would say yes, the meaning is the same .......Family, dorénavant nos douches se prendront le soir ! (statement) car il n'y a pas d'eau pendant la journée.Family, désormais il nous faudra prendre nos douche le soir ....car, il n'y a pas d'eau pendant la journée. But you can also use désormais/dorénavant in either statement so .... I would say yes, one can be used instead of the other and vice-versa.If in doubt, use another adverb.

mint Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thank you, Eric........and I feel emboldened to toss one or the other off avec insouciance[:)]Désormais is easier to say for me but never let it be said that I "never get out of my comfort zone"...nasty, trite phrase which should be avoided by all self-respecting folk.There, thrown another controversial statement out there so please attack at will; goodness knows the Forum needs livening up[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericd Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 WARNING mint ....... Insouciance ....Is something we say to someone carrying a task without being aware (or purposely ignoring) of the danger.In your case, innocence would be the world.
