It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct French form is proposition subordonnée relative, spelled P-R-O-P-O-S-I-T-I-O-N- -S-U-B-O-R-D-O-N-N-É-E- -R-E-L-A-T-I-V-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.

Definition

  1. 1
    Proposition subordonnée qui qualifie un nom adjacent, souvent marquée par un relatif. Par exemple, dans L’homme qui traversait le village, la proposition subordonnée qui traversait le village est relative, car elle qualifie le nom homme. Au contraire, dans Je pense que nous allons y aller maintenant, la proposition subordonnée que nous allons y aller maintenant ne qualifie aucun nom : la proposition n’est donc pas relative mais conjonctive ici.
