Did you know?
- French has a specific term, être dans la lune, which literally means 'to be in the moon' but is used to describe someone who is daydreaming.
- Unlike 'my moon', many French endearments use animals, such as mon petit chou or ma puce, which can sound strange to English speakers.
- The word lune shares a common ancestor with the English word 'light', as both trace back to the Proto-Indo-European root *lewk- meaning 'to shine'.

- Je t'aime, ma lune.I love you, my moon.
