      I wouldn’t assume someone who writes bone petite would know that the second “t” is near-silent, so I went with the phonetic emoji alphabet version. 😅

        frenchy here : the second “t” isn’t silent at all, you’re confusing it with “petit”, the masculine version, where the second “t” is indeed silent.

          I understand; I said “near-silent” because I don’t know of a better way to describe it (diminished? unemphisised? 🤷🏻‍♂️)

          Mind you, my experience with French is mostly limited to Duolingo and Google Translate - and could very well be wrong.
