How to Say “Your Origin” in French

By •
ton origine
The phrase "your origin" in French is translated as ton origine.

Which one should you use?

ton origine is the informal way to say "your origin", whereas votre origine is used for formal situations or when addressing more than one person.

How does it change in a sentence?

Although origine is a feminine noun, the masculine possessive adjective ton is used instead of the feminine ta because origine begins with a vowel.

Did you know?

  • The word origine replaced an older popular French form called orine, which was derived from the same Latin source.
