[say eh vray-mahn ah-doh-rahbl]
💬 Usage Tip: [C'] only appears joined to the next word, here in [c'est]; it can't stand alone. In speech, [c'est vraiment adorable] flows together, with [vraiment] often sounding close to (vray-mon).
🇫🇷 In France: [C'est vraiment adorable.] is warm and clearly appreciative, so it fits light flirting well. It sounds more natural in France than something bigger or more dramatic too early on.
