I literally love this girl in my French class so much she made me so much more confident about myself, so yesterday we were in French and like usual we were talking instead of paying attention, but we still got our work done ‼️🤞 but anyways we were talking about our future jobs and what we thought we would be and she says " i feel like you would be a model like a skin model or fashion model you have such good skin, i could see you on a Sephora magazine in the future" and I'm really insecure about my skin and just like my looks in general, but it just cleared up over the summer but I still have a little hyperpigmentation and she made me feel so much more confident and happy with my looks I love that angel so much 🩷

(this is from my limited knowledge from my 4 years of french classes so disclaimer: i am not french! i know very basic grammar rules and that's it!)
i believe it depends on the gender of your speaker for the personal pronoun (mon/ma); you would use "mon" if you're male, nonbinary (i did not learn about gender neutral pronouns so correct me if i'm wrong), or prefer this pronoun and you would use "ma" if you're female or prefer this pronoun.
regarding how you would refer to people of different gender (let's use chéri in this exemplar), you would call a man "chéri", as chéri itself is masculine. you would call a woman "chérie" with an emphasis on the added "e" as that makes it feminine.
so, if you're male, "mon" is the personal pronoun for "my", so even if what you're referring to is feminine, you would still use "mon".
basically:
"mon chérie" = you are a man calling a woman "darling"
"mon chéri" = you are a man calling a man "darling"
"ma chérié" = you are a woman calling a woman "darling"
"ma chéri" = you are a woman calling a man "darling"
there is an exception where a woman would use the masculine pronoun!! it's if the next word after the pronoun is a vowel (i.e. amour). "ma amour" sounds gross (my teacher's words, not mine) so you would use "mon amour" so it flows better when speaking.
yeah french is weird because everything has a gender—bread, a table, your couch. hope this helps! /gen
Hey, thanks for the answer!
Your reasoning is indeed correct, but you mixed up the use of the gendered term. The gender of the term being used actually depends on the "gender" of person/object you are talking about, and not the person speaking!
Therefore, yes, you would indeed use "mon" for men and "ma" for women, but that is the man/woman you are speaking about, and not yourself.
So:
"mon chéri" = a man or woman calling a man "darling"
"ma chérie" = a man or woman calling a woman "darling"
"mon chérie" or "ma chéri" are grammatically incorrect, as the agreement (accord in French lol idk the English word) of the name does not match.
I think this is what you were trying to get to with the exception. "Ma amour" is simply not correct because unlike the word "chéri", the word "amour" does not actually have a gendered version, and is conjucated the same way for all genders.
Yes, I agree. French is a terrible language for grammar rules. Hope this helps refresh (Good? Bad?) memories of HS French!😁

Why French? Exploring the Beauty, Benefits, & Fun of Learning the Language
Tumblr media
French! It sounds fancy, right? Well, it is! But forget what you see in movies. French is more than just cheesy pick-up lines and fancy cafes. Here's why you should learn French (it's way cooler than you think!):
Sounds Amazing: Imagine speaking a language that flows like a song. French vowels are clear, consonants are crisp, and it all sounds super smooth.
Travel Like a Boss: French isn't just for Paris! Speak French in Canada, Africa, or even Switzerland. Order food with confidence, chat with locals, and ditch the boring tourist experience.
Brainpower Boost: Learning French is like a workout for your mind! It improves memory, keeps you sharp, and might even help you stay young (bonus!).
Job Openings Galore: Being bilingual in French is a major job perk! Stand out from the crowd and open doors to cool international careers.
Unlock a Culture Vault: French is the key to amazing books, movies, and art. Experience these treasures in their original form - way cooler than subtitles!
Learning French is Easy (Promise!)
There are tons of resources to learn French, from apps to online classes. Don't worry about being perfect, just have fun! Before you know it, you'll be surprising yourself with your French skills.

French class time!
For the non native french speakers who want to write French readers. Or about Morticia and her French pet names.
Let's talk about pet names, shall we?
DON'T TRANSLATE LITERALLY, it's strange
"my darling girl" -> "ma fille chérie" (worst: "ma chérie fille" which isn't gramatically correct) -> in French it's used for CHILDREN, your daughter in this case, it's giving pedocriminal vibes.
We, French ppl, don't have as many pet names as English ppl do, but I can give you a list of what is used:
(used by almost everyone, less used now, specific to some couples, not often used but sometimes you can hear it, rarely used)
(neutral doesn't officially exist, I added it anyway)
Mon amour : my love (neutral) (cannot be used without possessive)
Chéri/Chérie/Chéri.e : darling (masculine/feminine/neutral) /!\ can be sarcastic (Mon/ma/man if you want to add a pronoun m/f/n /!\ French possessive is about the subject, not the owner, so it'll be "ma chérie" even if the one saying that isn't a woman).
Très cher/très chère/très cher.e : dearest (m/f/n) /!\ often used for teasing or sarcasm, or old fashion (if you write an historical AU)
mon cher/ma chère/man cher.e : dear, teasing or sarcasm, or old fashion (cannot be used without possessive)
Mon beau/ma belle/man belleau : my beautiful (cannot be used without possessive)
Mon ange : my angel (neutral) (cannot be uses without possessive)
Trésor : treasure (neutral) (can also be used with the possessive: mon)
Mon coeur : my heart (n) (cannot be used without possessive)
Poussin : chick (m/maybe n) (can be used with the possessive: mon)
Doudou : no literal translation, it's the French Creole word for darling, but doudou in French is also the cuddly toy (can be used with the possessive: mon)
Ma colombe : my dove (cannot be used without possessive)
Ma biche : my doe (cannot be used without possessive)
Mon chat/ma chatte/chaton : my cat/my female cat/kitten (m)/(f)/(n) /!\ careful with the feminine one, it means pussy with exactly the same double meaning.
Mon sucre d'orge : my little candy (n), cannot be used without the possessive
Mon chou : my... puffy cream? (M) can be sarcastic (F: always sarcastic or pitying)
Choupi/choupie/choupi.e : alternative way for saying "mon chou", often used for children but not only (can also be used with the possessive: mon/ma/man)
Ma puce : literally my flea... yeah it's weird... it's bcz it's tiny (f, can be sarcastic, more often used for chidren; m, always sarcastic)
Choupette : the feminine for "mon chou" (can also be used with the possessive: ma) (or for children)
Ma mie : my close friend (not literally but it's the idea) (f) /!\ really old fashion (like XVIIs-XVIIIs) but can be used by some ppl for teasing. (don't spell it "mamie", it means grandma)
Ma douce : sweetie, old fashion or teasing (f), never heard/read it for a man, but it'd be "mon doux", and the neutral'd be "man doux.ce"
Bébé : baby, not really used anymore by others than cringe men... (in French it's really giving pedocriminal vibes... Or it's just me, maybe)
Also: you can add "petit/petite/petit.e", (small/little), "joli/jolie/joli.e" (pretty), "beau/belle/belleau" (beautiful), between the possessive and the pet name. /!\ (doesn't work with "amour", "cher", "très cher", "mon beau", "ma mie" and "ma douce")
I think this is a good list... I might add some more if I remember.
Hope this is helping you.

I’m sitting by my sisters bed with her writing her french assignment for her and my mother walks in with a few of my sisters thing that were taking up space downstairs. One of those things is a bottle of alcohol. I grab the bottle and say:
“Oh, shouldn’t we drink some to celebrate?”.
To celebrate how for we’ve come in the assignment.
My sister takes the bottle away from me and says: “No, you’ve become an alcoholic.” She then chuckles and puts the bottle away.
I almost never drink. Only when I have the oppurtunity (Idk how to spell but yk).
I think it would’ve been much funnier to write if I had gotten a drink or two
It’s not really funny though bc alcoholism runs in my family

y'all remember your direct object pronouns in french
I hate [this] = Je le deteste.
I hate you = Je te deteste.
anyways i messed it up and told my french teacher that I hated her, even though she's literally my favorite teacher and is the fucking best. Love her so much--
(I apologized once I realized my mistake)
