Nettoie vs nettoye

Question

Nettoye the lesson gives Nettoye as the alternate spelling of nettoie but the quiz doesn't follow your lesson...I tried it just to see if it would be accepted...surely it should be marked "correct"

Accepted Answer

Hi Marnie,
As Chris says only 'nettoie' ( je / il/elle/on ) is correct.
The quiz question was -
Je nettoie ma chambre régulièrement = I clean my room regularly
 
Bonne Continuation !

Answer

The alternative spelling -aie/-aye is available only for verbs ending in -ayer. Nettoyer dos not fall under this category.

Answer

@Chris W. the heading of the chapter says for oyer/ayer/uyer. and THEY SAYS IT APPLIES ON NETTOYER

Answer

Bonjour Dr S.,
Chris is correct as is stated in the lesson only verbs ending in 'ayer' have an alternative spelling. This is not the case with nettoyer which ends with 'oyer' -
"ATTENTION: For verbs in -AYER, in spoken French (including written dialogue in a play for example) an alternative version where the "y" is kept for all forms is frequently used (and also pronounced differently)"
