  • 15 Islands

    In French, some names of islands always have the definite article and some never do.
    Island names with definite article
    Corsica
    = la Corse
    in Corsica
    = en Corse
    to Corsica
    = en Corse
    from Corsica
    = de Corse
    Note that where the English has the definite article, French normally has as well:
    the Balearics
    = les Baléares fpl
    in the Balearics
    = aux Baléares
    to the Balearics
    = aux Baléares
    from the Balearics
    = des Baléares
    Islands without definite article
    As in English, most island names have no definite article ; these work like names of towns ⇒ Towns and cities:
    Cyprus
    = Chypre
    in Cyprus
    = à Chypre
    to Cyprus
    = à Chypre
    from Cyprus
    = de Chypre
    Cyprus sherry
    = le sherry de Chypre
    English uses on with the names of small islands ; there is no such distinction in French:
    on St. Helena
    = à Sainte-Hélène
    on Naxos
    = à Naxos
    As with names of cities and towns, it is safest to avoid explicit genders ; use l’île d… instead:
    Cuba is beautiful
    = l’île de Cuba est belle
    Names with or without île in them
    English and French tend to work the same way in this respect:
    Guernsey
    = Guernesey
    the island of Guernsey
    = l’île de Guernesey
    the Balearics
    = les Baléares
    the Balearic Islands
    = les îles Baléares
    the Orkney Isles
    = les îles Orcades
    Exceptions
    There are some exceptions to these rules, e.g. Fiji, Samoa, Jamaica. If in doubt, look up island name in the dictionary.

  • 16 French departments

    The names of French departments usually have the definite article, except when used after the preposition en.
    In, to and from somewhere
    For in and to, use dans le or dans les for masculine and plural names of departments:
    to live in the Loiret
    = vivre dans le Loiret
    to go to the Loiret
    = aller dans le Loiret
    to live in the Landes
    = vivre dans les Landes
    to go to the Landes
    = aller dans les Landes
    to live in the Loir-et-Cher
    = vivre dans le Loir-et-Cher
    to go to the Loir-et-Cher
    = aller dans le Loir-et-Cher
    For in and to, use en for feminine names of departments:
    to live in Savoy
    = vivre en Savoie
    to go to Savoy
    = aller en Savoie
    to live in Seine-et-Marne
    = vivre en Seine-et-Marne
    to go to Seine-et-Marne

    = venir du Loiret
    to come from the Landes
    = venir des Landes
    to come from the Loir-et-Cher
    = venir du Loir-et-Cher
    For from, use de without the definite article for feminine names of departments:
    to come from Savoy
    = venir de Savoie
    to come from Seine-et-Marne
    = venir de Seine-et-Marne
    Uses with nouns
    Use de with the definite article in most cases:
    a Cantal accent
    = un accent du Cantal
    the Var area
    = la région du Var
    the Creuse countryside
    = les paysages de la Creuse
    Loiret people
    = les gens du Loiret
    Yonne representatives

    = l’équipe du Calvados
    Ardennes towns
    = les villes des Ardennes

    = les hôtels de Seine-et-Marne
    Some cases are undecided:
    Savoy roads
    = les routes de Savoie or de la Savoie

  • 17 French provinces and regions

    Both traditional pre-Revolution regions and modern administrative regions usually take the definite article as in l’Alsace, la Champagne etc.:
    I like Alsace
    = j’aime l’Alsace
    Champagne is beautiful
    = la Champagne est belle
    For names which have a compound form, such as Midi-Pyrénées or Rhône-Alpes, it is safer to include the words la région:
    do you know Midi-Pyrénées?
    = connaissez-vous la région Midi-Pyrénées?
    In, to and from somewhere
    There are certain general principles regarding names of French provinces and regions. However, usage is sometimes uncertain ; doubtful items should be checked in the dictionary.
    For in and to, with feminine names and with masculine ones beginning with a vowel, use en without the definite article:
    to live in Burgundy
    = vivre en Bourgogne
    to go to Burgundy
    = aller en Bourgogne
    to live in Anjou
    = vivre en Anjou
    to go to Anjou
    = aller en Anjou
    For in and to with masculine names beginning with a consonant, use dans le:
    to live in the Berry
    = vivre dans le Berry
    to go to the Berry
    = aller dans le Berry
    For from with feminine names and with masculine ones beginning with a vowel, use de without the definite article:
    to come from Burgundy
    = venir de Bourgogne
    to come from Anjou
    = venir d’Anjou
    For from with masculine names beginning with a consonant, use du:
    to come from the Berry
    = venir du Berry
    Regional adjectives
    Related adjectives and nouns exist for most of the names of provinces and regions. Here is a list of the commonest:
    an Alsace accent
    = un accent alsacien
    Alsace costume
    = le costume alsacien
    the Alsace countryside
    = les paysages alsaciens
    Alsace traditions
    = les traditions alsaciennes
    Alsace villages
    = les villages alsaciens
    These words can also be used as nouns, meaning a person from X ; in this case they are written with a capital letter:
    a person from Alsace
    = un Alsacien
    an Alsace woman
    = une Alsacienne
    the people of Alsace
    = les Alsaciens mpl

  • 18 Illnesses, aches and pains

    Where does it hurt?
    where does it hurt?
    = où est-ce que ça vous fait mal? or (more formally) où avez-vous mal?
    his leg hurts
    = sa jambe lui fait mal
    ( Do not confuse faire mal à qn with the phrase faire du mal à qn, which means to harm sb.)
    he has a pain in his leg
    = il a mal à la jambe
    Note that with avoir mal à French uses the definite article (la) with the part of the body, where English has a possessive (his), hence:
    his head was aching
    = il avait mal à la tête
    English has other ways of expressing this idea, but avoir mal à fits them too:
    he had toothache
    = il avait mal aux dents
    his ears hurt
    = il avait mal aux oreilles
    Accidents
    she broke her leg
    = elle s’est cassé la jambe
    Elle s’est cassé la jambe means literally she broke to herself the leg ; because the se is an indirect object, the past participle cassé does not agree. This is true of all such constructions:
    she sprained her ankle
    = elle s’est foulé la cheville
    they burned their hands
    = ils se sont brûlé les mains
    Chronic conditions
    Note that the French often use fragile (weak) to express a chronic condition:
    he has a weak heart
    = il a le cœur fragile
    he has kidney trouble
    = il a les reins fragiles
    he has a bad back
    = il a le dos fragile
    Being ill
    Mostly French uses the definite article with the name of an illness:
    to have flu
    = avoir la grippe
    to have measles
    = avoir la rougeole
    to have malaria
    = avoir la malaria
    This applies to most infectious diseases, including childhood illnesses. However, note the exceptions ending in -ite (e.g. une hépatite, une méningite) below.
    When the illness affects a specific part of the body, French uses the indefinite article:
    to have cancer
    = avoir un cancer
    to have cancer of the liver
    = avoir un cancer du foie
    to have pneumonia
    = avoir une pneumonie
    to have cirrhosis
    = avoir une cirrhose
    to have a stomach ulcer
    = avoir un ulcère à l’estomac
    Most words in -ite ( English -itis) work like this:
    to have bronchitis
    = avoir une bronchite
    to have hepatitis
    = avoir une hépatite
    When the illness is a generalized condition, French tends to use du, de l’, de la or des:
    to have rheumatism
    = avoir des rhumatismes
    to have emphysema
    = avoir de l’emphysème
    to have asthma
    = avoir de l’asthme
    to have arthritis
    = avoir de l’arthrite
    One exception here is:
    to have hay fever
    = avoir le rhume des foins
    When there is an adjective for such conditions, this is often preferred in French:
    to have asthma
    = être asthmatique
    to have epilepsy
    = être épileptique
    Such adjectives can be used as nouns to denote the person with the illness, e.g. un/une asthmatique and un/une épileptique etc.
    French has other specific words for people with certain illnesses:
    someone with cancer
    = un cancéreux/une cancéreuse
    If in doubt check in the dictionary.
    English with is translated by qui a or qui ont, and this is always safe:
    someone with malaria
    = quelqu’un qui a la malaria
    people with Aids
    = les gens qui ont le Sida
    Falling ill
    The above guidelines about the use of the definite and indefinite articles in French hold good for talking about the onset of illnesses.
    French has no general equivalent of to get. However, where English can use catch, French can use attraper:
    to catch mumps
    = attraper les oreillons
    to catch malaria
    = attraper la malaria
    to catch bronchitis
    = attraper une bronchite
    to catch a cold
    = attraper un rhume
    Similarly where English uses contract, French uses contracter:
    to contract Aids
    = contracter le Sida
    to contract pneumonia
    = contracter une pneumonie
    to contract hepatitis
    = contracter une hépatite
    For attacks of chronic illnesses, French uses faire une crise de:
    to have a bout of malaria
    = faire une crise de malaria
    to have an asthma attack
    = faire une crise d’asthme
    to have an epileptic fit
    = faire une crise d’épilepsie
    Treatment
    to be treated for polio
    = se faire soigner contre la polio
    to take something for hay fever
    = prendre quelque chose contre le rhume des foins
    he’s taking something for his cough
    = il prend quelque chose contre la toux
    to prescribe something for a cough
    = prescrire un médicament contre la toux
    malaria tablets
    = des cachets contre la malaria
    to have a cholera vaccination
    = se faire vacciner contre le choléra
    to be vaccinated against smallpox
    = se faire vacciner contre la variole
    to be immunized against smallpox
    = se faire immuniser contre la variole
    to have a tetanus injection
    = se faire vacciner contre le tétanos
    to give sb a tetanus injection
    = vacciner qn contre le tétanos
    to be operated on for cancer
    = être opéré d’un cancer
    to operate on sb for appendicitis
    = opérer qn de l’appendicite

  • 19 Towns and cities

    Occasionally the gender of a town is clear because the name includes the definite article, e.g. Le Havre or La Rochelle. In most other cases, there is some hesitation, and it is always safer to avoid the problem by using la ville de:
    Toulouse is beautiful
    = la ville de Toulouse est belle
    In, to and from somewhere
    For in and to with the name of a town, use à in French ; if the French name includes the definite article, à will become au, à la, à l’ or aux:
    to live in Toulouse
    = vivre à Toulouse
    to go to Toulouse
    = aller à Toulouse
    to live in Le Havre
    = vivre au Havre
    to go to Le Havre
    = aller au Havre
    to live in La Rochelle
    = vivre à La Rochelle
    to go to La Rochelle
    = aller à La Rochelle
    to live in Les Arcs
    = vivre aux Arcs
    to go to Les Arcs
    = aller aux Arcs
    Similarly, from is de, becoming du, de la, de l’ or des when it combines with the definite article in town names:
    to come from Toulouse
    = venir de Toulouse
    to come from Le Havre
    = venir du Havre
    to come from La Rochelle
    = venir de La Rochelle
    to come from Les Arcs
    = venir des Arcs
    Belonging to a town or city
    English sometimes has specific words for people of a certain city or town, such as Londoners, New Yorkers or Parisians, but mostly we talk of the people of Leeds or the inhabitants of San Francisco. On the other hand, most towns in French-speaking countries have a corresponding adjective and noun, and a list of the best-known of these is given at the end of this note.
    The noun forms, spelt with a capital letter, mean a person from X:
    the inhabitants of Bordeaux
    = les Bordelais mpl
    the people of Strasbourg
    = les Strasbourgeois mpl
    The adjective forms, spelt with a small letter, are often used where in English the town name is used as an adjective:
    Paris shops
    = les magasins parisiens
    However, some of these French words are fairly rare, and it is always safe to say les habitants de X, or, for the adjective, simply de X. Here are examples of this, using some of the nouns that commonly combine with the names of towns:
    a Bordeaux accent
    = un accent de Bordeaux
    Toulouse airport
    = l’aéroport de Toulouse
    the La Rochelle area
    = la région de La Rochelle
    Limoges buses
    = les autobus de Limoges
    the Le Havre City Council
    = le conseil municipal du Havre
    Lille representatives
    = les représentants de Lille
    Les Arcs restaurants
    = les restaurants des Arcs
    the Geneva road
    = la route de Genève
    Brussels streets
    = les rues de Bruxelles
    the Angers team
    = l’équipe d’Angers
    the Avignon train
    = le train d’Avignon
    but note
    Orleans traffic
    = la circulation à Orléans
