How to Say “My Fair Lady” in French

My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady is the French title for the famous musical and movie about a flower girl who learns to speak properly.

Did you know?

  • The English word 'lady' shares an ancient ancestor with the word 'lord', as both come from the Old English 'hlǣfdīġe' (lady) and 'hlāford' (lord), which originally meant the 'bread-keeper' of a household.
  • When talking about the movie, French speakers use the feminine article la before the English title, as lady is recognized as a feminine noun.
  • French audiences typically identify the 'proper speaking' theme of the story through the term parler bourgeois, referring to the language of the middle and upper classes.
