J'espère que tu t'entendras bien avec Kalem. "I hope that you will get along well with Kalem." the interesting word her is the entendras. from the way the word looks, I can derive that it is related to entente, which I've struggled to find a good translation for, but I know the vibe it conveys (and can of course also guess from context what she means). looking into it, this is actually the verb for hearing (entendre), which is also used for "understand". this makes more sense in German lol ("understanding each other" being the way to express "getting along with each other" in that language too)

    oh interesting, so if you take the verb pouvoir ("to be able to" - English is so clunky here) and use it as a noun, it can mean ability, but more commonly means "power". ...that word actually looks kinda similar too :D
