How to Say “My Handsome Boy” in French

By •
mon beau garçon
The English phrase "my handsome boy" is translated into French as mon beau garçon.
mon beau garçon is an affectionate term used to describe a male child or a partner who is physically attractive. While it can be used for a child, it is more common in a romantic context to use mon beau or mon bel homme when referring to an adult partner.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of mon (my), beau (handsome/beautiful) and garçon (boy/lad).

Did you know?

  • The word garçon shares a surprising lineage with the English word 'wretch'. Both stem from an ancient Germanic root referring to an 'exile' or 'outcast'.
  • In French, the word beau changes to bel before a masculine noun starting with a vowel or a silent 'h'.

Examples in context

  • Regarde mon beau garçon avec son nouveau costume.
    Look at my handsome boy in his new suit.
  • Mon beau garçon est déjà prêt pour l'école.
    My handsome boy is already ready for school.
