How to Say “Write Me” in French

écrivez-moi
The English phrase "write me" is translated into French as écrivez-moi.
A request for someone to send a written message or letter to the speaker.

Which one should you use?

écrivez-moi is used when addressing a person formally or a group of people, whereas écris-moi is used for a single person you know well.

How does it change in a sentence?

The informal singular form is écris-moi. In the negative imperative, the pronoun moves before the verb: ne m'écrivez pas.

Did you know?

  • If you want to tell someone to 'text me' specifically, you would use the verb texter in Canada or envoyer un SMS in France rather than écrivez-moi.
  • In a formal letter, you would rarely use écrivez-moi and instead use the phrase Je vous prie de bien vouloir m'écrire, which literally asks the person to 'be so kind as to write to me'.
  • The verb écrire comes from the Latin scribere, which is also the root of English words like 'scribe' and 'scribble'.
