Questions & Answers about Oui, je suis français.
Why is français written with a lowercase 'f'?
In French, nationalities are not capitalized when they are used as adjectives to describe someone. Because this sentence describes the speaker as French, it uses the lowercase français. You only capitalize nationalities when referring to the people as a noun, like les Français (the French).
Would a woman say this sentence exactly the same way?
If this sentence is a reply, how did the other person ask "Are you French?"
Do I pronounce the 's' at the end of suis and français?
No, the final 's' in both suis and français is silent. In French, final consonants are usually not pronounced unless they are followed by a word starting with a vowel. Since français starts with a consonant, the 's' in suis stays silent.
