On étudie !
Le graphème ill se prononce avec un yod, /ij/ ou /j/ selon le contexte:
Est-ce qu’il y a une consonne (C) ou une voyelle (V) avant?
-
-
- C + ill-: on prononce /ij/, comme dans fille, famille, habiller, brillant.
-
-
-
- V + ill-: on prononce la voyelle suivie d’un yod (/j/), comme dans taille, travailler, feuille, bouteille, grenouille.
-
Les lettres il suivies d’une voyelle se prononcent avec /l/, comme dans le, facile, kilo.
LL
On peut prononcer la double consonne ll de deux manières:
-
[ l ] :(L sound): laugh, bill, Californie
-
[ j ] :(Y sound): you, tanya, coyote
LL comme [ j ]
In all letter combinations with vowel + ill, the double l is pronounced [ j ]: voyelle + ill è [ j ] = like “y” in “yes” or “player”
ill = /ij/ ou /j/
| Voyelles + ll | Français | Anglais |
|---|---|---|
| aill | la paille | straw |
| eill | la veille | night before |
| euill | la feuille | leaf |
| ouill | Bouillir | to boil |
| ueill | Cueillir | to gather |
| uill | la cuillère | spoon |
Double l is also pronounced [ j ] in most words with consonant + -ill, including
| Français | Anglais |
|---|---|
| la famille | family |
| la Bastille | Bastille |
| la cédille | cedilla (ç) |
| la chantilly | whipped cream |
| la fille | girl |
| la vanille | vanilla |
LL as [ l ]
After any other vowel, the double L is pronounced [ l ]: voyelle + ll è [ l ] = like “l” in “less” or “ball”
il + V = /il/
Ecoutez.
| Français | Anglais |
|---|---|
| salle | room |
| belle | beautiful |
| syllable | syllable |
| voyelle | vowel |
| ballon | ball |
It is also pronounced [ l ] after i in about two dozen words (and their derivatives).
Exceptions:
mille, ville et tranquille se prononcent avec /il/, ainsi que les mots apparents (million, village, tranquillement, etc.). De même pour les noms propres Gilles et Lille (nom d’une ville française).
This is the complete list – anything not listed here is pronounced [ j ].
| Français | Anglais |
|---|---|
| un billion | trillion |
| distiller | to distill |
| tranquille | calm, tranquil |
| une ville (une villa, un village, etc.) | town |
| Achille | Achilles |
| -illaire | -ilary (suffix) |
| Lille | Lille (town in Nord) |
| mille (un millénium, millier, etc.) | thousand |
| milli- (millimètre, milligramme, etc) | milli- (prefix) |
| un milliard (un milliardaire, le milliardième, etc.) | billion |
| un million (un millionaire, le millionième, etc.) | million |
