g
The English letter g is written as g in French.
In French, g refers to the seventh letter of the English alphabet. The soft sound of g (/ʒ/) is commonly found before the vowels e, i and y.
Did you know?
- Because g and j sound so similar in French, many classic French surnames were spelled interchangeably with both letters until spelling was standardized.
- The French word for 'slang' is argot, which contains the letter g. This word originally derived from a secret language used by thieves and criminals in the 19th century.
- In the context of French grading systems, a g is not used as a grade, as the French system typically uses a numerical scale of 0 to 20.
