Significados de Whom em português

Le mot « whom » est utilisé principalement en anglais comme pronom relatif ou pronom interrogatif. Il se réfère à une personne et est souvent employé dans des contextes formels, bien qu'il puisse également apparaître dans des situations informelles.

Utilisation dans des phrases

  1. Pronom relatif : « whom » est utilisé pour désigner l'objet d'un verbe ou d'une préposition.

    • Exemple : "The man whom you saw yesterday is my brother." (L'homme que tu as vu hier est mon frère.)
    • Exemple : "To whom it may concern." (À qui de droit.)

  2. Pronom interrogatif : « whom » peut également être utilisé pour poser des questions sur l'identité d'une personne.

    • Exemple : "Whom did you invite to the party?" (Qui as-tu invité à la fête ?)

Contextes d'utilisation

  • Formel : « whom » est plus fréquent dans des contextes formels, tels que des lettres officielles ou des discours.
  • Informel : Dans la langue parlée quotidienne, « who » est souvent utilisé à la place de « whom », même lorsque « whom » serait grammaticalement correct. Par exemple, on dira souvent "Who did you invite?" au lieu de "Whom did you invite?"

Phrases et expressions courantes

  • "To whom it may concern" : utilisé dans des lettres formelles lorsque l'on ne sait pas à qui s'adresser.
  • "Whom do you trust?" : utilisé pour poser une question sur la confiance envers une personne.

Erreurs courantes

  • L'une des erreurs les plus fréquentes est d'utiliser « who » à la place de « whom » lorsque le pronom est l'objet d'une phrase. Par exemple, au lieu de dire "The person who I spoke to," il serait plus correct de dire "The person whom I spoke to."
  • Beaucoup de locuteurs natifs utilisent « who » dans des contextes où « whom » serait grammaticalement approprié, ce qui peut conduire à une confusion pour les apprenants.

Mots connexes

  • Synonymes : Il n'y a pas de synonymes directs pour « whom », mais des expressions comme "the person" peuvent être utilisées dans des contextes moins formels.
  • Antonymes : Pas d'antonymes directs, mais on peut considérer que « whom » se réfère à une personne spécifique, tandis que des termes plus généraux comme « everyone » ou « nobody » ne désignent pas une personne précise.

Prononciation

  • « Whom » se prononce /huːm/. Il est important de noter que la prononciation peut varier légèrement selon l'accent, mais la forme générale reste constante.

Grammaire et étymologie

  • « Whom » est dérivé de l'anglais ancien « hwam », qui est la forme accusative du pronom « who ». En grammaire, « whom » est considéré comme un pronom de cas accusatif, utilisé pour les objets de verbes ou de prépositions.

En résumé, « whom » est un pronom utilisé pour désigner une personne dans des contextes formels, souvent en tant qu'objet. Bien qu'il soit grammaticalement correct dans de nombreuses situations, son usage est moins fréquent dans le langage courant, où « who » est souvent préféré.
