Use of Y in French

Hi!

Which one would be more correct?

C'était y notre premier séjour OR C'y était notre premier séjour

And could someone please explain the position of Y in a sentence.

Thank you!

You are welcome!
You can then add "C'y était notre premier séjour", however, this will suppose that it was the first trip in both countries.

Thank you Jimmy.

The whole story is:

L'année dernier, nous avons voyagé en France à Paris et au Islande à Rekjavik.

C'était y notre premier séjour. OR C'y était y notre premier séjour.

Hi Oleksiy,

The "y" is used as a pronoun for a place, a location. So, in your case, it depends on the sentence before. For example, in "Il y a quelques jours, nous sommes partis à Paris. C'était notre premier séjour à Paris", Paris is written twice and very closely. As we wish to avoid this, you would say "Il y a quelques jours, nous sommes partis à Paris. C'y était notre premier séjour".
In you case, this would depend on the sentence(s) before. Can you provide more context?
