Mamyalynne can you please explain Es as French art, I don't understand.

[blinker]

Thank you both.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, called away, easier to pinch an explanation and copy it.

//"Art" in this case is the archaic second-person singular of "to be" (as in "thou art"). The French translation is ES (as in "tu es"). Very clever!//

[cashier]

Thank you, for the explantion Mamyalynne

[Mamyalynne]

I should have been clearer in the first place.
