Noun phrase with elision

"d'épargne" is a contraction of "de épargne"; the apostrophe indicates elision before a vowel.

3

Verb "plaire"

"plaire" means ‘to please/appeal to’. It is conjugated with the subject (here "comptes") and normally requires an indirect object introduced by "à".

Common Mistakes

  • Nos comptes d'épargne plaisent beaucoup.

    The verb "plaire" usually needs the preposition "à" before the person who likes something.

  • Nos comptes d'épargne sont plaisant.

    Do not confuse the verb "plaire" with the adjective "plaisant" (pleasant).

  • Nos comptes d'épargne beaucoup plaisent.

    Placing "beaucoup" before the verb (e.g., "beaucoup plaisent") is unnatural in French.

Cultural Tip

In standard French, "plaire" is normally followed by an indirect object introduced by "à" (e.g., "Nos comptes d'épargne plaisent beaucoup à nos clients"). Omitting "à" is acceptable in marketing copy but can sound informal. For a neutral tone, prefer constructions like "sont très appréciés" or "rencontrent un grand succès".
