Does anyone know the difference between les verbes prominaux vs le object direct/indirect?
The grammar is litterarly the same thing. For example Je me reveille.

@amanuel2 In many ways they are the same. I hate when I have to tell students that all the rules apply, because they've heard from some other teacher that these are two different concepts. 90% of it is overlap
One difference is that not ALL pronominal verbs can be "unrolled" to a standard verb form. For example, you can take "Il la voit" and unroll it to "Il voit la biche". But you can't unroll "Il se méfie" because the verb is inherently pronominal
The main difference is probably in the meaning. Whereas a direct object means the same thing before or after a verb, a pronominal verb can change in meaning quite a lot from a non-pronominal one, and not always in transparent ways. There are a few answers about this; here's one french.stackexchange.com/questions/17547/…
Another one (my own :p) is this one french.stackexchange.com/a/25872/12688
But in terms of reference, agreement, and so on, yup, they're comparable. If I think of any exceptions I'll come back and let you know

Bonjour, comment on écrit les prénoms et noms en français? Est-ce qu'on écrit le nom comme "Nom" ou "NOM"? C'est comme la duexième en turc.

Q: What type of stress does French have

lmcSo I know that there are on the one hand pitch-accent languages (like South-Slavic languages, Greek, Norwegian, etc.) where the accentuated syllable is indicated by a particular pitch contour/tone rather than by stress, and on the other hand languages with dynamic accent produced by an increased ...

@AbdullahUYU Ça dépend, il y a plusieurs façons de faire. En fait l'ordre prénom nom n'a pas toujours été respecté, il a changé, et ça a forcé les gens à faire une distinction nette entre prénom et nom en écrivant les noms en lettres capitales parce qu'il arrive souvent que les noms soient identiques à des prénoms. Mais ça n'est généralement le cas que dans des formulaires.
