femme

Antillean Creole: fanm

Guianese Creole: fanm

Haitian Creole: fanm

Karipúna Creole French: fam

Louisiana Creole: fenm, famm

Seychellois Creole: fanm

Inherited from Middle French femme, from Old French fam(m)e, fem(m)e, fenme, from Latin fēmina, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁-m̥h₁n-éh₂ (“(the one) nursing, breastfeeding”), derivation of the verbal root *dʰeh₁(y)- (“to suck, suckle”). The Old French pronunciation was [fɛ̃mə], which then became [fãmə] through lowering of nasal vowels, finally [famə] in Middle French through denasalisation before /m/, /n/. Other words in which -e- is pronounced /a/ include couenne, solennel, and the adverbs in -emment.
See cognates in regional languages in France: Norman and Gallo fame; Picard fanme; Bourguignon fonne; Franco-Provençal fèna; Occitan femna; Corsican femina.

souvent femme varie, bien fol est qui s’y fie

"[…] un couple qui fonctionne requiert des individus dichotomiques qu’il s’agisse d’un homme et d’une femme ou bien d’une butch et d’une femme", Lilian Faderman, Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers, A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth Century.

2001, Marie-Hélène Bourcier, Queer zones: politiques des identités sexuelles, des représentations et des savoirs:

(LGBTQ, rare) Alternative form of fem (“femme, feminine lesbian”) (contrast butch)

Inherited from Middle French beau, from Old French biau, bel, from Latin bellus.


fils

Inherited from Old French fils, fiz, fil, from Latin filius (“son”). Cognate to Spanish hijo, Portuguese filho, , Italian figlio and Romanian fiu, among others.
Final -s regularly became mute before consonants in late Old French but was then still pronounced in pausa. In the 18th century, these pausal forms widely fell out of use; they remained, however, as variants in a small number of words (cf. tous, ours). By the 20th century, the regular pronunciation /fi/ had become archaic or dialectal.

fem

Pour faire simple, une fem (prononcer « faime ») c’est une gouine qui n’a rien contre les jupes, les talons hauts, le vernis à ongles et le maquillage. […] On confond parfois les fems avec les lipstick lesbiennes, les charmantes saphiques éthérées comme on en a vu à la fin des années 90 dans les pubs Dior, Benetton et Versace. […] Les fems ont ça de différent des lipstick lesbiennes que notre féminité n’est pas un passe-droit pour d’intégrer, mais au contraire le drapeau de la subversion.

2014, Carina Rozenfeld, La Symphonie des abysses, Robert Laffont, book 1:

[…]; on days when they didn't have the opportunity to talk a little, just the two of them, they felt empty.

Ainsi démarra la journée d’Emil. Iel suivait bien évidement les conseils de sa mère, continuant à affirmer qu’iel était un garçon, ce qui jusque là n’avait jamais été démenti.

2016 March 4, Olivia B. Smith, Witch Hunt, Partie 1 : Le Legacy d’Olivia:

That's how Emil's day started. They naturally followed the advice of their mother and continued to say that they were a boy, which had never been contested until that point.

Pour les Ferreux.
Pour Ferenusia, découvert en même temps qu’Antoinette, quand iel avait débarqué à Paris un an auparavant.
Pour iel-mêmes [sic], aussi.

For Ferenusia, discovered at the same time as Antoinette, when they had arrived in Paris a year earlier.
For themselves, too.

Tout architecte se doit d’être complètement responsable des conditions et conséquences politiques des projets qu’iel accepte; toute position qui ferait de lui ou d’elle un.e simple exécutant·e constituerait une insulte à sa fonction et à sa capacité d’agir.

2019 December 20, “Casbah d’Alger : lettre ouverte à Jean Nouvel”, in L’Humanité:

→ Norwegian Bokmål: tante
→ Yiddish: טאַנטע (tante)

→ North Frisian: tante

→ Occitan: tanta

→ Romanian: tanti

→ Swedish: tant

→ Vilamovian: tant

Inherited from Middle French tante, alteration of ante, from Old French ante, from Latin amita ("father's sister"). The initial t- is probably due to childish reduplication.
A derivation from t’ante, that is ta ante (“your aunt”), is grammatically possible because the use of ton with vowel-initial feminines is secondary and was only optional in Middle French. However, if a rebracketing of this sort had occurred, one would not expect it to happen with the second-person pronoun, but much rather the first person (thus *mante).

onomatopoeic

childish

si ma tante en avait, on l’appellerait mon oncle

Ma mère et ma tante sont jumelles.


bru

From Middle French bru, from Old French bru, brui, bruz, from Late Latin bruta, brutis, from Old High German brūt (“daughter-in-law, bride”) or Gothic 𐌱𐍂𐌿𐌸𐍃 (bruþs, “daughter-in-law”); both from Proto-Germanic *brūdiz (“bride, daughter-in-law”). Akin to Old English brȳd (“bride”), English bride.

1861, Charles Baudelaire, “Allégorie”, in Les Fleurs du mal [The Flowers of Evil], 2nd edition, Paris: Poulet-Malassis et De Broise:

She laughs at Death and taunts Debauchery, / Those monsters whose hands, which are always scratching and scything, […]

Le 8, rien. Le 9, le soleil reparut un instant comme pour narguer les Américains. Il fut couvert de huées, et, blessé sans doute d’un pareil accueil, il se montra fort avare de ses rayons.

1865, Jules Verne, chapter 27, in De la Terre à la Lune [From the Earth to the Moon], J. Hetzel et Compagnie, published 1868:

Si Labelle est la figure peut-être la plus connue de la culture populaire trans travaillant explicitement entre les deux langues, une démarche similaire de traduction active et dynamique se retrouve dans le travail exposé sur le blog La Vie en queer (LVEQ, antérieurement Unique en son genre). Son autaire anonyme trans non-binaire publie chaque semaine un nouveau contenu sur des questions trans et connexes.

2022, Vinay Swamy, Louisa Mackenzie, Devenir non-binaire en français contemporain, Le Manuscrit, page 175 (203 PDF):

Après une soirée festive vendredi, le 23e Jamais Lu s’ouvrait samedi après-midi sur une pièce de l’autaire/interprète Lyraël Dauphin, une pièce personnelle qui touche à l’universel et qui oscille entre le touchant et l’hilarant. Parce que c’est ça, la vie. Drôle et prenant. Que l’on soit hétéronormatif, homosexuel, non-binaire, trans. Et quand on est un festival qui présente des textes inédits et qui suscite toujours plus d’engouement, on a sans doute l’embarras du choix des meilleurs quand on en reçoit plus de 130.

2024 May 10, Yanik Comeau, Théâtre: Jamais Lu «Le Condo de mon adelphe» de Lyraël Dauphin: Fenêtre ouverte sur l’avenir, www.theatralites.com:

Un·e certain·e Alpheratz, dont on ignore le genre, publie une «Grammaire du français inclusif». On sait qu’iel est chercheur·euse, doctorant·e à la Sorbonne. Selon le dossier de presse, c’est lui·elle (luel?) qui est l’«autaire» (le mot est d’iel) de «Requiem», roman n’utilisant que des formes neutres, comme le pronom «iel».
