Did you know?
- If a French speaker refers to a woman named 'Kate', they will use the feminine possessive adjective 'sa' for her belongings. This is because adjectives must agree with the gender of the object, not the gender of the person.
- Because Kate is not a native French name, it does not have a traditional 'Saint's day' (fête) unless the person chooses to celebrate the feast of Sainte Catherine.
- While Kate is used, the traditional French equivalent is Catherine. The name Kate is often perceived as an Anglicism and is more common among younger generations in France.
