How to Say “Your Voice Is Lovely” in French

By •
votre voix est charmante
The English phrase "your voice is lovely" can be translated into French as votre voix est charmante.
This phrase is a compliment used to tell someone that the sound of their voice is pleasant or attractive. In French, it is very common and natural to use the construction Vous avez une voix… (You have a voice…) to deliver this compliment.

Which one should you use?

While votre voix est charmante implies a charming or delightful quality, using votre voix est belle is a more direct way to say the voice is beautiful.

How does it change in a sentence?

When speaking to a friend, a peer or someone you know well, use ta voix est charmante instead of votre voix est charmante.

Did you know?

  • The French word charme, used in votre voix est charmante, originally referred to a magic spell or an incantation rather than just a pleasant quality.
  • While the word est is the third-person singular form of 'to be', it is the only word in modern French where a silent internal 's' remains in the spelling, second only to the name 'Jésus-Christ'.
