All remaining contexts can be assumed to allow liaison optionally, although exhaustive empirical studies are not yet available. Preferences vary widely for individual examples, for individual speakers, and for different speech styles. The realiz... | 47,311 |
1215686 | Liaison (French) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liaison%20(French) | Liaison (French)
avoid certain optional liaisons in order not to sound "pedantic" or "stilted". Other liaisons lack this effect. For example, "Ilsont () attendu" ("they have waited") is less marked than "tu asattendu" ("you have waited"), and neither liaison is likely to be realized in highly informal speech (where one... | 47,312 |
1215686 | Liaison (French) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liaison%20(French) | Liaison (French)
appears only in careful speech.
On the other end, producing a liaison where one is impossible is perceived as an error. For example, pronouncing a liaison consonant instead of respecting hiatus before an aspirated "h" is taken to indicate an uncultivated or unsophisticated speaker. While all speakers ... | 47,313 |

In rare cases, these liaisons may be conserved by the language and become mandatory, such as in the imperative forms "donne-z-en" which becomes simply "donnes-en" "give some [... | 47,314 |
