This lesson needs a list of adjectives beginning with "h"

This is a really comprehensive lesson. Cécile even provided a list of words beginning with "h" in the comments above but included only nouns and verbs. It would be great if you added a list of adjectives beginning with "h" so we can see which ones follow which rules for "tout" all in one place.

Hi John,

Here is a list of adjectives that start with an -h mute and so will have 'tout' in front of them.

It is by no means exhaustive but just the most common ones.

I doubt whether we will add this to this already very long lesson but there will be a separate lesson for -h aspiré /-h muet which is still on the back burner.

I will also add that you shouldn't over-worry as these rules are very complex and French native people still often get them wrong - yours truly included!

 

 

habile = skillful

habituel/le = usual 

hallucinant = staggering

harmonieux/se = harmonious 

herbacé/e = herbaceous 

hésitant/e = hesitant 

heureux/se = happy

homogène = homogeneous

honnête = honest 

horrible = horrible

horripilant = exasperating

hostile = hostile

humain/e = human

humble = humble

humide = humid

humiliant/e = humiliating

hygiénique = hygienic

Hope this helps!
