17 Points of the compass
north = nord Nsouth = sud Seast = est Ewest = ouest Onord, sud, est, ouest is the normal order in French as well as English.northeast = nord-est NEnorthwest = nord-ouest NOnorth-northeast = nord-nord-est NNEeast-northeast = est-nord-est ENEWhere?Compass points in French are not normally written with a capital letter. However, when they refer to a specific region in phrases such as I love the North or he lives in the North, and it is clear where this North is, without any further specification such as of France or of Europe, then they are written with a capital letter, as they often are in English, too. In the following examples, north and nord stand for any compass point word.I love the North= j’aime le Nordto live in the North= vivre dans le NordNormally, however, these words do not take a capital letter:in the north of Scotland= dans le nord de l’ÉcosseTake care to distinguish this fromto the north of Scotland (i.e. further north than Scotland)= au nord de l’Écossein the south of Spain= dans le sud de l’Espagne*it is north of the hill= c’est au nord de la collinea few kilometres north= à quelques kilomètres au norddue north of here= droit au nord* Note that the south of France is more usually referred to as le Midi.There is another set of words in French for north, south etc., some of which are morecommon than others:(north) septentrion (rarely used) septentrional(e)(south) midi méridional(e)(east) orient oriental(e)(west) occident occidental(e)Translating northern etc.a northern town= une ville du Norda northern accent= un accent du Nordthe most northerly outpost= l’avant-poste le plus au nordRegions of countries and continents work like this:northern Europe= l’Europe du Nordthe northern parts of Japan= le nord du Japoneastern France= l’est de la FranceFor names of countries and continents which include these compass point words, such as North America or South Korea, see the dictionary entry.Where to?French has fewer ways of expressing this than English has ; vers le is usually safe:to go north= aller vers le nordto head towards the north= se diriger vers le nordto go northwards= aller vers le nordto go in a northerly direction= aller vers le norda northbound ship= un bateau qui se dirige vers le nordWith some verbs, such as to face, the French expression changes:the windows face north= les fenêtres donnent au norda north-facing slope= une pente orientée au nordIf in doubt, check in the dictionary.Where from?The usual way of expressing from the is du:it comes from the north= cela vient du nordfrom the north of Germany= du nord de l’AllemagneNote also these expressions relating to the direction of the wind:the north wind= le vent du norda northerly wind= un vent du nordprevailing north winds= des vents dominants du nordthe wind is in the north= le vent est au nordthe wind is coming from the north= le vent vient du nordCompass point words used as adjectivesThe French words nord, sud, est and ouest are really nouns, so when they are used as adjectives they are invariable.the north coast= la côte nordthe north door= la porte nordthe north face (of a mountain)= la face nordthe north side= le côté nordthe north wall= le mur nordNautical bearingsThe preposition by is translated by quart in expressions like the following:north by northwest= nord quart nord-ouestsoutheast by south= sud-est quart sud -
