Usage notes

  • Unlike in English, Madame is frequently used without a name or article as a polite reference to a woman in the third person, notably in official registers:
  • Although un/le monsieur is used as a common noun to mean "a/the gentleman," using the word une/la madame to mean "a/the lady" is considered childish language. Instead, une/la dame is used.
