Quelque chose de
Dans la leçcon où on a visité la boutique de souvenirs (5.2?), on discute "quelque chose de". Comme chose est un mot féminin, pour quoi on dit "quelque chose de léger" et pas "quelque chose de légère"? Merci!
Salut GuillaumeenOregon,
"Quelque chose" means "something" and it has no gender.
In the sentence "quelque chose de léger" ("something light") you can see that the preposition "de" is used to describe what we are looking for. Since we don't know what it is yet, it has no gender yet.
When there's no gender, masculine is the default gender.
I hope this helps clarify. Bon chance!
