1. For subdomains
For example you can not do voyage.lafrique (travel), nor meteo.lafrique (weather).
It sounds awfull. Better voyage.afrique and meteo.afrique, it's obvious.
2. Difficulties for a non native speaker
Sometimes, it can be great with les or le for example, because, with them, you generalize to entire market as I said in a previous post.
BUT, it's very difficult for a non native speaker because you had to hear it.
Does it sound great or not ?
I was reading the posts about french domains and a french member said that he like letravail instead of travail. For him, it sounds better (for me as well).
You see it's all personal opinions, and most important, how it sounds to your ears.
It's why, again, i would advice all members to avoid le, la, les, because of these difficulties or simply ask. There's several native here, and they don't lie.
Hope it can help.

Word. And that's from another french native.

Mr leader ...I think you need to add 1 and 1, take a step back and call off that pityful so called lesson of yours. I think for the number of times it's been discussed, people have made up their mind about articles in french domains and there is just no way we need to "debate" this all over again.
Oh and Brian, I am curious as for what you have to say about this. I have about 100 french IDNs and haven't registered a single one with an article. Am I an "ignoramuse" considering the fact that I am a native french speaking person from Quebec and that I have spoken french for every single day in my life? Should I delete all my domains? Are they worth more than regfee? I really look forward to your answer. You ARE the french leader after all...
Edit: Clarified my post.
