A man of wealth and taste
Hi !
First of all, happy new year everyone. I'm new here. I live in France and I really love organic chemistry. I'm on my first year of bachelor in
biology-chemistry. My english is not perfect bur I will try to be as clear as possible. I also love music, I play violin for 8 years.
I'm very interested by the chemistry of Indole. My basics are not perfect, I really start chemistry this year, previously I was studying economics.
So, forgive me in advance for any mistake or nonesense
I hope me presence here will be usefull.

If you are interested in Indole, please work out how to make Indole-3-butyric acid for me.
Welcome to Science Madness !
Tu a bien choisi. Ici c'est bon.

Why don't you figure it out yourself instead of asking for spoonfeeding from a brand new member? Not setting a very good example here, aga.

When you speak French to people you don't know very well, you are supposed to use "vous" instead of "tu" - it's like saying "thou" in English except
they still do it.
As you get to know someone better, the rules change, but you'll come across as rude if you use "tu" too soon.

But, but, we know LG2 very well already !
I find that when speaking in languages with a formal and informal mode, immediately using the informal tends to make negotiations go better.
Maybe it's because the linguistic implications force a mind-state that puts me in a higher class (in their mind), or maybe it immediately implies the
dispensation of formalities, equalling friendliness - i don't know why it works, just that it does.

It depends on whom you are dealing with... if I'm talking to a politician about why we need a $5 million state-funded road through the neighborhood
liquor store, I'm going to be all "Mr. Suchandsuch" even if we are on a first name basis. If I'm talking to a doctor, I'll talk informally and let
him/her speak formally. If I'm talking to a mechanic, I'll occasionally drop subject-verb agreement.

Depends on how you want the negotiation to work out in my experience.
As for the liquor store, i'd not be grovelling, i'd have done quite a lot of homework, and say "OK Stefan, you got two options here. Either we go
through your mother's house or there's this other route through some crappy liquor store. Sure they'll complain, but it's a business, so they'll
understand. Option three is these photos of you and the laviscious cabbage get to the press, capiche ?"
Edit:
To be clear jjay, i do have a rudimentary grasp of French (school) and do understand some of the niceties of modes of address.

That sounds more like how to deal with a DOT engineer.
