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