Best Answer

In French, "the French house" is "La maison française".

You would pronounce this like "lah mays-on fron-sez".

To put this together, you need to know two words:

the noun "house", which is "maison" and the adjective "French", which is "français".

In French nouns are either masculine or feminine, so when you say "the house" you have to say "la maison" because "la" is the feminine version of "the" (maison is feminine).

Adjectives almost always go behind the nouns they describe in French. This is different from how adjectives are placed in English. In English, we say "the French house", where French goes before house. In French, you say, (if you're translating directly) "the house French", or "la maison française".

Adjectives in French are modified depending on the gender of the noun. Since "la maison" is feminine, you add an "e" to the end of the adjective. So "français" becomes "française"

Also, in French, you don't capitalize some adjectives that are capitalized in English. In English, we capitalize the names of languages or nationalities like French (or Turkish or Swedish). In French, those aren't capitalized, so when you write "française", you don't capitalize it.
