Translation of " It's not here"
In lesson 10.3, the second sentence goes, " C'est pa ici, ca." I understand that the "ne" is often dropped, but why use "ca" at the end of the sentence? A suggestion for this lesson would be to have Lauren answer that question in her translation. Merci.
Bonjour HenriTuck,
Great question!
The addition of 'ca' is simply an emphasis on the "it" of "it's not here". Almost as if someone added gesture to the words!
I hope this helps and if you have more questions, keep 'em coming!

As per my earlier comment on the Feedback page, I note that nowhere does the "ca" on this particular lesson's page have the correct ç form.
Salut Allan!
It looks like this has been fixed! Merci for pointing that out to us!
