How to Say “With My” in French

avec mon
The English phrase "with my" is translated into French as avec mon.
A phrase used to indicate that something is accompanied by or belongs to the speaker.

How does it change in a sentence?

The form of the phrase changes depending on the gender and number of the noun that follows it. Even if a noun is feminine, you must use avec mon instead of avec ma if the noun begins with a vowel or a silent H. The form changes to avec ma when the object being possessed is feminine. The form changes to avec mes when the objects being possessed are plural.

Did you know?

  • If you are talking about your own body parts, a French speaker will often avoid using avec mon entirely. Instead, they will use a reflexive pronoun to show the connection.
  • The word mon might not just be from Latin 'meum', but was likely influenced by the Gaulish word 'mon', which was a Celtic language spoken in France before the Romans arrived.
  • In many parts of Normandy and Western France, you might hear people use the form d'od instead of avec to mean 'with'.
