fille

noun (French: une fille, des filles); not an English word

«fille» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

Everyday

(French) «Fille» means «girl» or «daughter»: «une petite fille» = a little girl, «ma fille» = my daughter. It sounds like «fee» with a soft y at the end («feey»), and it is not an English word. tree →

In the lessons

In French lessons, «fille» is learned with «garçon» (boy): «Je suis une fille» = I am a girl. «Fille» is a feminine noun, so it goes with «la» and «une». Grown-ups know the phrase «jeune fille» (young lady). Do not mix it up with English «fill» or «file».

Examples

  • «Je suis une fille» means «I am a girl» in French. tree →
  • «C'est ma fille» means «This is my daughter.» tree →
  • In French, «fille» is feminine: «la fille», «une fille». tree →
  • The French teacher said «filles» for the girls and «garçons» for the boys. tree →
  • «Petite-fille» in French means granddaughter. tree →
  • «La fille du roi» means «the king's daughter». tree →

Note

French only; plural «filles». The «ll» in «fille» sounds like «y», not like an English l. Trap: «fillet» (a boneless piece of meat or fish) and «fill» are different English words.
