Grammar Breakdown

C'estquoil'horaireduyoga?

1

C'est quoi

Colloquial way to ask "what is..."; more informal than "Quel est...". Used in spoken French among friends.

2

l'horaire

Noun meaning "schedule" or "timetable"; masculine, preceded by the definite article "l'" because it starts with a vowel.

3

du = de + le

The preposition "de" contracts with the definite article "le" to form "du", meaning "of the".

4

Yoga (le yoga)

The sport is masculine in French, so it takes the article "le"; the contraction "du yoga" is therefore correct.

Common Mistakes

  • C'est quel l'horaire du yoga ?

    The interrogative "quel" must agree with the noun and cannot follow "c'est"; use "C'est quoi" or "Quel est" instead.

  • l'horaire du le yoga

    "de le" contracts to "du"; saying "du le" is redundant.

  • l'horaire du Yoga

    Capitalize only proper nouns; "yoga" is a common noun, so it stays lowercase.

Cultural Tip

In everyday French, "C'est quoi..." is perfectly natural among peers, but it can sound too casual in a professional email or when speaking to a teacher. In those contexts, switch to "Quel est..." or "À quelle heure...". Also, note that "horaire" often refers to a printed timetable, while "heure" is used for a single time point.
