Talk:moult

As if the pictures were not bad enough, why do we need animations? That's disturbing for some people. --2.245.153.5 00:40, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

 * The usage notes are good from a grammatical standpoint, but I think the labels need more work. The variable adjective is actually still used quite a lot: "moultes questions", "moultes hésitations", "moultes péripéties", "moultes aventures".

However I wouldn't say it's standard either; most modern occurrences look like clumsy attempts at high style. The TLFi says Dupré calls it "ridiculous" (see this thread), and TBH I agree with him.

Moreover, the TLFi gives an example of moult used with a massive noun: "Cela peut causer moult douleur, le bonheur des autres!". So maybe we should leave much as a translation. (well, nvm) --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 23:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * is it /mu/ or /mult/ as indicated on frwikt? – Jberkel 05:45, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Both, apparently, though I'm only familiar with, which is a spelling pronunciation according to the TLFi. We should add that to the entry, but I don't know where.
 * And I don't know if is always, or if there's a liaison: moult ennemi > ?  --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 08:19, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, there's a note on frwikt: "La prononciation \mult\ est influencée par l’écriture du mot. La prononciation traditionnelle, \mu\, est plus rare ou restreinte à quelques régions" – Jberkel 08:22, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've heard this word used from time to time recently (non-ironically), so I tweaked the labels again, and frwikt seems to agree. Might need some rewording though, or usage notes. – Jberkel 11:39, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
