The English alphabet has like the German 26 letters (corresponding to the Latin alphabet).

But there are also a lot of diacritical characters such as é, è, â, ï and special letters such as æ. However, these characters and letters only occur in fief and foreign words. Some of them have to be used, but many do not. Here are some examples:

  • précis, café
  • soupçon
  • naïve
  • encyclopædia

Not on AE, just by the way. Very, very rare you write like that.

Yes, even in the BE it is not necessary for most words to use these diacritical characters, especially in the words used in everyday life. As far as I know, in my examples only “soupçon” is that c) with cedille but not for “facade”, and “encyclopedia” is only used in science with æ written. But the questioner wanted to know whether it was in English é and that’s what’s going on. However, if he writes “café” or “cafe”, he doesn’t care if he does not care for a hem or a hem. 😉

I don’t like that. I probably do cookies (e.g. speculatius) in tea with candy, but nothing in coffee, especially no jam. Coffee is holy to me!

There’s soup. Semmel, with Marmalade, in the coffee

Without lemon, por favor.

Soup? For breakfast? It’s only 9:45. I drink coffee and lemon limo (freshly pressed).

Come on. You’re the best!

Can only speak for AE. Everything is simplified. But not tøt. 🙂 Very rare “fancy vowels”.

You’re gonna kill us. I want soup now. What about çon?

The only English word I remember. where an Accent is used, is fiancé – the fiancé (with ée at the end: the fiancé). English is characterized by the fact that there are no special characters in the language. 26 large and 26 small letters – that’s what the alphabet is about. For this reason, English has also prevailed (at times when memory was still weighed with gold) as an initial language for as good as all programming languages. You just had the fewest characters to encode.

Nope but in Spanish

Yes, for example, “résumé” or “café”.

You’re right, but it’s used very rarely on AE.

Maybe on BE.

Eig ned.

But sometimes here:

______

Names. Née (lit. ” born”), a woman’s family name at birth before the adoption of another surname usually after marriage. The male equivalent “né” is used to indicate what a man was originally known as before the adoption of a different name.

______

But is usually written “nee”, according to Gégend 🙂

Only in foreign words! (usually from French).

Of course, only for foreign words that have an accent in the original (e.g. from French or Spanish).
