How does it change in a sentence?

The word is a masculine noun.

Did you know?

  • While Vermont is a masculine noun in French, the word for 'mountain', montagne, is feminine. This means the state's name does not match the gender of the general French word for the landform it represents.
  • In French, you will rarely see Vermont used as an adjective. To describe something from the state, French speakers use the demonym vermontois for men and vermontoise for women.
  • While the name is French, the state's official motto is written in Latin: 'Esse Quae Deris', which means 'To be what you pretend to be'.
