Translating French Words

Explanation of Genders

French nouns are different than
English nouns in that they must either
be masculine or feminine. Each
definition of a noun indicates which
gender it is with

m or f.

Misspelling Words

If you enter a misspelled word, a list
of corrections appears. Highlight the
word you want and then press

entrer

to see its dictionary entry.

Understanding Definitions

Dictionary entries consist of
headwords, parts of speech, and/or
definitions. Other forms of the word
may follow the headword. Capitalized
words indicate the category for which
the word is used. After the translation,
you may see a list of usage examples.
