Notes
GENERAL INFO
Femmes means "women." It is the plural form of the feminine noun *femme* (meaning "woman" or "wife").
USAGE
Use femmes when referring to multiple adult female individuals. It takes feminine plural agreement with adjectives.
For example: "Les femmes sont fortes." (The women are strong.) "J'ai vu deux femmes." (I saw two women.)
TRAPS
Be careful not to confuse it with the singular *femme* (woman/wife).
While the 's' at the end of femmes indicates plurality, it is silent, so the pronunciation is identical to the singular form *femme*.
