How to Say ‘Shall we talk about it on Wednesday?’ in French

On en discute mercredi ?

on AHN dees-KOOT mehr-kruh-DEE

[on AHN dees-KOOT mehr-kruh-DEE]

💬 Usage Tip: En stands for "about it" and sits right before the verb, so you don't repeat the topic. A plain statement turns into a suggestion just by rising your voice at the end.

🇫🇷 In France: On meaning "we" is the everyday way students propose plans. Nous would sound stiff among classmates.
