Bonjour !

The accent mark which tells you to pronounce vowels separately is the

trema mainly on the "e", and "i" => ë, ï, ►

exemples

Noël = no-el

coïncidence = co- incidence not coin-cidence like "coin" (corner)

naïf = na- if not naif like in "faire" (do)

héroïne = héro - ine not héroine like in toi (informal you)

-

hope this helps ☺☺☺

Answer:

The circumflex, which looks like a little pointy hat, can be found above all five vowels in French: â, ê, î, ô, or û. Its usage is somewhat complicated. First, it tells you how to pronounce “a”, “e”, and “o”: “â” is pronounced roughly like an English “ah” as in an American “hot” or British “bath”.
