Holden
Holden is the French term for the brand of cars produced by General Motors in Australia.
Did you know?
- French enthusiasts of Australian cars often use the English term ute instead of the French utilitaire to describe Holden utility vehicles, as utilitaire is too generic.
- In French, car brands are usually treated as feminine nouns because they refer to une voiture 'a car', so you will often see la Holden rather than le Holden.
- In French, the plural of Holden remains Holden because proper names of brands are typically invariable in the language.
Examples in context
- J'ai vu une Holden rouge.I saw a red Holden.
- Ma tante possède une Holden.My aunt owns a Holden.
- Est-ce que cette Holden est vieille ?Is this Holden old?
