Oh good grief. I struggled through 2 French classes during my HS years and couldn't care less if I ever dealt with the language again.

Though I'm cool with words like BONJOUR, MERCI and BIEN.

Anyway the "er" verbs are called "1er groupe" (1st group). The "ir" are mostly "2ieme groupe" (2nd groupe) and the rest (3ieme groupe) are all of the irregular verbs. And you didn't tell me which tense you wanted them to be conjugated in?

I'm guessing "present"...

(Aimer)
J'aime
Tu aimes
Il/Elle aime
Nous aimons
Vous aimez
Ils/Elles aiment

The 2nd group ("ir" is)
(Finir)
Je fini
Tu finis
Il/Elle fini
Nous finissons
Vous finissez
Ils/Elles finissent

Edit: made a mistake with Il/Elle fini. *doh*... Going on autopilot.

those would be pronouns,not articles.
And you guys think French is hard,try Russian!
Good God!!!
That language declines every single freakin' word,that must match in tense,gender and case:help: :oh_no:
Oh,and don't forget one set of plurals for every noun.
One for 2-4 of the item.
And another for after 5 count!

Yeah, that reminds me a lot of the Arabic I'm taking right now. As in...

-Everything must agree in gender, except when used in conjunction with numbers 3-99, and tense as well.
-Three case endings that have metaphorical meanings to the word's function within the sentence (although Russian has 6 cases... :tickled: )
-There are only three 'tenses.' All other 'tenses' are derived from structures and idioms. (sp?)
-Up to three ways to write a single letter depending on it's place in the word.
-And with the exception of the Qu'ran, almost no outside text is fully vowelled- so you best know how and what the hell you're about to read.

That, and the fact that you can't speak the written version unless you're on Al-Jazeera... or else you will get laughed at. Perhaps I should have chosen Farsi.

Hell- at least it's not Finnish (26 case endings! WHA?!?!?)

That sounds like a pain in the ass also!I don't know a thing about Arabic,but it sounds like a difficult language to learn.The other think about Russian I hate is the animate/inanimate noun casing.
When declining a noun,if it falls in the accusative case,its the same as the genitive if its animate,or its the same as the nominative if inanimate.How does is supposed to remember all this when speaking..???
I remember reading about Finninsh having 26 cases,and I was like:eek:
THAT"S INSANE!!
And by the way,how do you read a text not fully voweled?

Well, on that first one, I'm thinking that since Stalin had a 5-Yar Plan that would have involved the repetition of things like 'gulags' and 'ethnically non-Russian workers,' proper voweled speech wasnt' something he was concerned with. :mr_t:

Regarding the Arabic, though, you've just gotta get something out of context. For example: if you come across a word that has a certain root, like (and this is transliterated) Q-L-M, you've got at least two possible words; "qua-lam" or "qua-lem." The first, if I remember correctly, is the word for pen. The other means flag. So if you're reading about how the Ba'ath Party came to power in Iraq and Saddam added the phrase "God is Great" to the Q-L-M, you've just gotta make due.

Daunting, if absolutely nothing else.

But back on topic. Abdul, the prior replies answer your question far better than my distant years of High School French could try to.

Alors, a toi je dis "bon chance!"
