Bonjour ou Bonsoir. Today's lesson I will be teaching you how to address people in French. It's pretty difficult at first, but it'll be understandable once it is fully explained.
Because Earth is populated with nothing but females and males, languages have made up words to address women, men, and children. If we didn't have words like that, we'll be pointing a people and, perhaps, calling them by their names. French is no different with this aspect, however, it can be hard for people to understand.
Like greetings, addressing people will depend on their gender, age, and rather or not the person is married. When addressing a female you will call her a la fille, la femme, elle, une madame, et une mademoiselle.La Fille /la fee/ = The girl
Fille is usually aim towards girls that are under the legal age. If you look like a young girl just aspect to be called "une fille or la fille."
Examples:
Françis
1.) Tusmugi Inuzuka est une fille.
2.) La fille manger le riz.
3.) Elle est énergique.
4.) Elle amie le riz.Anglais
1.) Tusmugi Inuzuka is a girl.
2.) The girl eats the rice.
3.) She is energetic.
4.) She likes the riz.La femme /la fammm/ = The woman
Femme is typically used with a female that's legal age aka a woman. If you look like a woman just aspect to be called a women.
Examples:
Françis
1.) Mako Katori est une femme.
2.) Elle est une professeur.
3.) Elle aime la plongée.Anglais
