How to Say "I Am God" in French

je suis dieu

The English phrase "I am God" is translated into French as je suis dieu.

This phrase is used to make a statement claiming that one is the supreme being or the creator of the universe.

Is it said differently in some regions?

In Quebec, you may hear the variations Moi, chu le bon Dieu or Moi, chu Dieu.

The word dieu shares a common ancestor with the English word 'deity' and the Greek word 'Zeus'. They all stem from the Proto-Indo-European root *deywós, which refers to the bright sky.
In French, the word dieu can be used as a common noun to refer to any deity from any religion, whereas using a capital 'D' in Dieu specifically refers to the monotheistic God.
In some French idiomatic expressions, mon Dieu is used as an interjection of surprise or frustration, regardless of whether the speaker is religious, making the phrase je suis dieu sound particularly theatrical by contrast.
