Mademoiselle [madmwazεl](plural Mesdemoiselles) [medmwazεl]feminine noun━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━► En anglais, on utilise de plus en plus Ms à la place de Miss et de Mrs pour éviter la distinction traditionnelle entre femmes mariées et femmes non mariées.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━• entrez, Mademoiselle Smith come in, Miss Smith or Ms Smith• Mademoiselle Dubois vous recevra Miss or Ms Dubois will see you━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━► Lorsque Mademoiselle n'est pas suivi d'un nom de famille, il ne se traduit généralement pas ; l'anglais madam, un peu désuet, s'utilise par exemple pour s'adresser à une cliente dans un restaurant ou dans un hôtel.
