How to Say "Goodnight to Your Crush" in French

bonne nuit mon cœur

The English phrase "goodnight to your crush" is expressed in French as bonne nuit mon cœur.

This phrase is used as an affectionate way to say goodnight to someone you love or are romantically interested in.

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, bonne nuit mon cœur translates to "good night my heart".

bonne nuit mon cœur is an informal and intimate way to say goodnight.

While mon cœur is deeply romantic, French speakers also use mon chou meaning 'my cabbage' or ma puce meaning 'my flea' as sweet endearments for a partner.
The term mon cœur remains grammatically masculine even when you are speaking to a woman. In French, the gender of the endearment is determined by the word 'heart' itself, not by the gender of your crush.
The word mon is a linguistic hybrid. While it comes from the Latin 'meum', its specific form was likely shaped by the ancient Gaulish word 'mon', a language spoken in France before Latin took over.
