fiancé/fiancée : what the difference ? and masculine/feminine in french -- Laurence, 13:59:18 12/12/10 Sun [1]
In french exists the masculine & the feminine.

a fiancé :
in french : un fiancé
" fiancé " is MASCULINE
Harm is Mac's fiancé

a fiancée :
in french : une fiancée
" fiancée " is FEMININE
Mac is Harm's fiancéE

another exemple in this language :

animals too :

a cat : un chat : MASCULINE
une chatte : FEMININE

another exemple for humans :
a cousin : un cousin : MASCULINE
une cousine : FEMININE

and more...

[> that's one thing that is pretty standard in US english - most authors know to use fiance and fiancee - what drives me nuts is blond and blonde - only half the editors in NY seem to know blond is a man and blonde is a woman - sigh - I kept telling a friend of mine that for years - when Berkley published her first book her editor came in and said the same thing - I thoroughly enjoyed sticking my tongue out and saying TOLD YA!!! LOL -- chris k, 18:54:52 11/21/11 Mon [1]

[> [> [> Oh, and add, so she won't be confused or maybe more : ' and yes ' Laurence ' stands for women in french language and there's a masculine version for ' Laurence ' it's ' Laurent '. No joke !!! -- Laurence, waving ' Hello ' to Chris K and everyone, 23:42:59 11/21/11 Mon [1]

[> [> Some spell-checkers don't like "blonde", but for some reason I've always known the "e" on the end was for a female. -- The Chief, 21:24:15 11/22/11 Tue [1]
