3 フランス人 French Person

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

French Person

Alternative

Frenchman

Word Type

noun

Explanation

フランス is "France." So what is a "France person?" That would be a French Person.

Reading

ふらんすじん

フランスじん

Explanation

Often times, when two kanji come together to form a kanji compound (or jukugo), you use the on'yomi readings. This is similar to that, though instead of another kanji it's a foreign word. This pattern works with almost any country as well. Just add 人 to a country name and you've described the people who live there. You'll see more of these before you're finished here.

And since 人 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:

As with all words for nationalities, the 人 here is pronounced じん. Like people of all other nationalities, a French person loves their jeans (じん) too!

Context
