Let’s look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

Deux de ça, s'il vous plaît.

Trois de ça, s'il vous plaît.

Quatre de ça, s'il vous plaît.

Un de ça, s'il vous plaît.

Deux de ceci et un de cela.

Did you notice how I used a different pattern?

Deux de ceci et un de cela.

"Two of this and one of that."

Deux de ceci et un de cela.

First is deux, "two." Deux.

Next is de, "of." De.

After this is ceci, "this." ceci (enunciated). Ceci.

Note, the item is located near the speaker.

Next is et, meaning "and." Et (enunciated). Et.

When pointing out multiple items, you can join them with this conjunction.

Next is un, "one." Un (enunciated). Un.

Note, un is masculine. The feminine form is une and is usually pronounced the same.

Next is de, "of." De.

After this is cela, "that." cela (enunciated). Cela.

Note, the item is located a short distance from the speaker.

All together, Deux de ceci et un de cela. "Two of this and one of that." Deux de ceci et un de cela.

You should be aware of this pattern, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
