Nationalities in French[edit | edit source]
Unlike English, when it comes to nationalities, in French, there is a difference whether you're a girl or a boy.
- Example in English: "She is Irish / He is Irish"
- Example in French: "Elle est irlandaise / Il est irlandais"
It is important to make the difference. I've heard people making this mistake (which is totally normal) but we really need to make the difference between a "he" or a "she". You could find yourself in a very embarrassing situation.
So, to help you I'm going to make a list of different nationalities so that you won't ever do this mistake again.
Let's go :
- She/he is American : Elle est américaine/ Il est américain
- English: Elle est anglaise / Il est anglais
- German: Elle est allemande / il est allemand
- Chinese: Elle est chinoise / il est chinois
- Japonese: Elle est japonaise / Il est Japonais
- Spanish: Elle est espagnole / Il est espagnol
- Mexican: Elle est mexicaine / Il est mexicain
- Indian: Elle est indienne / Il est indien
As you can see most of the time you can just add an "e" if you're a girl.
Then, here are some countries / people / language :
- Germany = Allemagne / Allemand(e) / Allemand
- Austrian = Autriche / Autrichien(ne) / Autrichien
- Belgium = Belgique / Belge / Belge
- Bulgaria = Bulgarie / Bulgare / Bulgare
- Cyprus = Chypre / Chypriote / Grec
- Croatia = Croatie / Croate / Croate
- Denmark = Danemark / Danois(e) / Danois
- Spain = Espagne / Espagnole / Espagnol
- Estonia = Estonie / Estonien(ne) / Estonien
- Finland = Finlande / Finlandais(e) / Finnois
- France = France / Français(e) / Français
- Greece = Grèce / Grec / Grec
- Hungary = Hongrie / Hongrois(e) / Hongrois
- Ireland = Irlande / Irlandais(e) / Irlandais
- Italia = Italie / Italien(ne) / Italien
- Latvia = Lettonie / Letton(ne) / Letton
- Lithuania = Lituanie / Lituanien(ne) / Lituanien
- Luxembourg = Luxembourg / Luxembourgeois(e) / Luxembourgeois
- Malta = Malte / Maltais(e) / Maltais
- Netherlands = Pays-bas / Néerlandais(e) / Néerlandais
- Poland = Pologne / Polonais(e) / Polonais
- Portugal = Portugal / Portugais(e) / Portugais
- Czech republic = République Tchèque / Tchèque / Tchèque
- Romania = Roumanie / Roumain(e) / Roumain
- United kingdoms = England = Royaume-Unis : Angleterre / Anglais(e) / Anglais
- Scotland = Ecosse / Écossais(e) / Écossais
- Wales = Pays de Galle / Gallois(e) / Gallois
- Slovakia = Slovaquie / Slovaque / Slovaque
- Slovenia = Slovénie / Slovène / Slovène
- Sweden = Suède / Suédois(e) / Suédois
