Best Answer

'Tournesol' is a French equivalent of 'sunflower' [Helianthus anuus].

The masculine noun 'tournesol' literally honors the way in which the flower follows the sun's path across the sky. Its singular definite article is 'le' ['the']. Its singular indefinite article is 'un' ['a, one'].

It's pronounced 'toorn-sohl'.

Another equivalent is 'grand soleil'. The adjective 'grand' means 'great, grand'. The masculine noun 'soleil' means 'sun'. Together, they're pronounced 'graw soh-leh'.
