How to Say "My Angel" in French

mon ange

In French, the English phrase "my angel" is translated as mon ange.

mon ange is a term of endearment used to address someone who is loved deeply.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of the possessive adjective mon (my) and the noun ange (angel).

Even if the person being addressed is female, the phrase remains mon ange because ange is a masculine noun.

While mon ange is used for love, French also uses mon ange sarcastically to address someone who is being naive or overly innocent.
The term ange comes from the Ancient Greek word ángelos, which originally meant 'messenger' rather than a spiritual being.
In French, calling someone a petit ange (little angel) is often used specifically for children who are behaving well, whereas mon ange is more romantic.
